Back to School

Well, this is it. I have to go back to work tomorrow. Classes don't start for a week, but it's these first days that are hard. I don't know if all teachers are like this, but I work my butt off during the school year, and I keep telling myself that I'll rest or I'll play or what have you over the summer. Well, now I'll have to invest all those thoughts in May, and that's a long time from now. However, I think teaching the fast track earlier this month really got me geared up for the semester. It's not going to be as tough for me as it has been previous falls. I just hope we don't have a rough a winter this school year. Last winter was really taxing, and I don't want to have to go through that again.

Today, I tried to get all sorts of things done. I mowed the worst of the lawn, scrubbed the living room carpet, took Joey for her allergy shots. Right now, I'm cooking. I'm making a double batch of chicken and rice, I made chicken salad, and when I'm done here, I'll make tuna salad. Yep, I'm back to packing daily lunches.
