Back to Work

Yesterday was my first day back to work and I got to ease in with a 9-3 schedule (as opposed to next week's 7:30-3:30 schedule). It was weird to be back after a couple months off. I'm perplexed as to how I can feel lost about some things and then like I never left about others. We've got 16 next teachers' names for me to learn, so that will be an adjustment, and next week we'll have 600 new 7th graders to learn and help. Crazy.

Today was a better day at work, especially because Jenn and her cute daughter Megan stopped by to wish me well.

They brought me a cute vase with my favorite flower and a Costco-sized bag of peanut M&Ms!! Goodness, I'm going to have to lock the drawer I keep these in or they'll be gone in no time! It was mighty thoughtful of them to visit me and bring these treats, I'm sure they will help get me through tomorrow which is our crazy district meeting in the morning and back-to-school night in the afternoon so I'm looking at a 10.5 hour day followed by 2 visiting teaching appointments!
