Today was our first day back at work after the looong 16 day vacation! I was dreading it. Even though I was more than ready to get back to work considering the days go by much faster, I had no desire to teach. Isn't that sad?
However, when I walked back into school today, my mood completely changed. I don't what exactly it was, but I realized just how much I love my job and, more importantly, the children I get to see. They are wonderful. Yes, at times, they are a challenge, they talk too much, and at times act like second graders, but overall, they are loving, caring children.
They entered my classroom with smiles, and actually seemed excited to be there, and to tell me all about their vacation. We accomplished so much today, and it just gives me the energy I need to finish up this year as strong as I did in the beginning.
Remind me of this post in March, when I need a vacation more than anything!

I won't let Courtney read this one since she teaches 2nd graders. I hope all is well. Not too much new down here in the South. Courtney said the same thing though...I think her kids are all tired from staying up way too late during the break. Give us a call sometime this week...we're never too busy to talk to you. Oh and by the way the EAGLES are kicking ass. You better be going nuts. Big game this weekend with the Giants.
I felt the same way. Most days I leave my job wanting to quit but on Monday I was actually happy to see the kids. I think we all just needed a long break. Talk to you soon!
