Well, it’s that time again. The beginning of a new school year. We’ve had all summer long to sleep late, stay up late, shop, read, clean, travel. We got to use the bathroom whenever we wanted, go exercise whenever, take walks, bike rides, visit with family, friends, discover new people, places and things. No time restraints, no schedules, (except for all the doctor appointments we fit in…) nothing to tie us down, just fun, relax, and do whatever, whenever. Sounds great doesn’t it???? I think that is the best part of summer. Even though we still might run into stressful situations, I think I can just handle them better because I was relaxed when it happened? Maybe?
Tomorrow starts a new year. The kids won’t be in until next week, but we are mandated to report tomorrow, 8:00 am! Jeez! Too early! Can’t we start at 10 ish? If it wasn’t for traffic and making my lunch, picking out the day’s outfit, wash, laundry I wouldn’t mind so much. Tonight is Sunday night and I just heard on the radio that “Sunday Blues” is a real thing! Us teachers knew that! Turns out other people get it too, it’s not just for teachers! From one extreme to the other. Total relaxation to extreme “To Do” lists. I would bet money on that list happening real quick tomorrow, probably by 8:10.
I want to wish all the incredibly talented teachers I know, a good year. I really do know some of the best teachers in the country. I know they will do great and hoping they’ll have the best class ever! Just remember to have fun with those babies and show them how to relax too! When things get to stressed and complicated, think of summer, it may just help a ton! Have a great year everyone!
Have a great year, Joyce!
You too Jen! I will seriously miss you! In fact, I already have! I wish you the best, my friend!
Thank you Jen! I miss you!
