Back at School

So, now I am back to my new life. My old life is stay at home mom. My new job is teaching, second year. I enjoy being able to go back and forth to new job for the school year and then my old life for summer. I am so happy that I have a job that allows me to have "an end" - about June 20th! Something to look forward to. Each school year comes to an end and each has a new beginning.
I am at this new beginning part. So far, so good. Last year, I was completing my student teaching as part of my master's program and I found it hard to breathe I had so much to do. Now, I have completed my masters, moved over a column to make more money, and don't have my own school. I can breathe now. I can do my grading or lesson plans for the next couple of days ahead of time and then ahhhh, breathe.
Last year I had one student that stood out as being particularly hard to deal with. I don't have him anymore this year, so again, easier to breathe.
So far the students are good, willing to work and putting forth some effort.
And, it is September. I can't wait until it is over. With four kids, September has to be the busiest month. Again because of beginning. It is the beginning of sports - 1 cross country, 2 football, and 1 soccer. It is the beginning of CCD - 1 to make his First Communion this year, 1 beginning his year of Confirmation prep, and the other two just regular years. It is also school pictures and sports pictures. And, four back to school nights, plus my own for teaching.
Ahhh, but it is also the beginning of new tv shows. I don't get a chance to watch that much, but a little bit for fun.
So, off to breathe and watch t
