Wow! It’s been a long time since I’ve blogged! Here are some updates… very quick updates:
- I’m teaching again. Gone are my days of sleeping in, watching daytime TV, and eating bon-bons before and after my daily naps. Oh, wait- I’ve never had those days! And what the heck are bon-bons, anyway?
- I’m teaching kindergarten and loving it!
- I can’t run anymore due to a fallen arch in my left foot. My podiatrist told me the bones in my foot are basically collapsing on each other. Nice. He also told me that I have the foot of a 70-year old woman. Um, thanks, Doc. I’m still mourning the loss of being able to run. I’m also a bit self-conscious of the appearance of my foot… for the first time in my life.
- I’m trying to learn to love cycling.
- It’s not happening.
- My youngest started kindergarten… and no, I’m not his teacher. As much as I love my sweetie-pie, that would be a nightmare!
- My oldest is adjusting to his new school and being in the third grade. He is doing very well.
- We enrolled my third-grader in a program called Brain Highways , hoping to address some of his quirky (and somewhat Asperger’s Syndrome tendencies). It’s tough. Very tough. But it seems to be helping.
- My husband is asleep on the couch right now.
- The clock says 11:03 p.m. but my body-clock is telling me it’s really 12:03 a.m. Why do we need to “fall back” and “spring forward”? C’mon… daylight savings time needs to go the way of the typewriter, TV antennas, and VHS tapes/players and be considered obsolete.
- I admit, however, I do like waking up and having it be light out.
- On the other hand, I really dislike leaving work in the dark. Or dusk, depending on the day.
With that, I need to sign off of here. Maybe tomorrow I’ll accomplish what I really came on here to do, and set up my kindergarten blog.
Hmmm… we shall see…
Good luck getting back into the swing of things in the classroom. We can’t have enough teachers that love what they do!
