Tri and keep up

Last week I started back working in my classroom, had professional developments, and tried to keep up with my triathlon training.  It didn't go so well.  I worked out on Sunday and Tuesday, but the rest of the week was a bust. I missed my Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday workouts  So tonight I got back on the path, the bike path at least.  I did my 10 miles tonight and it was a struggle. Mostly because the temperature here has been over 100 every day this week.  My in laws are putting in a pool and I am practically filling up the pool with my drool because I want to get in it already.  We went over there several days this week, namely Wednesday, Friday and Saturday (can you see why I didn't train?) to watch the pool go in.
On a somber note one of our teachers passed away this week and it has been a very emotional week- she was a light to many and made a huge impact on many lives.  In other words- lots of stuff is going on that is very draining that does not have to do with triathlon training.  However, it kind of was a good trial and error on adding other distractions to my life and still training the way I need to be training.
This year my classroom is transforming from monkeys to owls.  My grandma used to collect owls and she had them all over her house.  However, I am all about easy.  I try and set up bulletin boards with with paper that does not have to be changed all year and perhaps not even every year.  This year I am actually having to change out my paper.  I am a horrible paper putter upper.  I wrinkle it and tear it and end up having to do it many times.  I used to have my assistant do it and now she won't be back this year do to budget cuts in the district.  All this is very frustrating.  
In addition to not keeping up with triathlon training I didn't really keep up with my laundry either and now I will have to go take care of it before I go to bed.
