I'm glad that my New Year's Resolution wasn't to blog more, because I definitely have failed. February is flying by at a rapid pace and I'm managing to stay as busy as ever. I've come to accept that that probably won't ever change, which I'm ok with. I don't mind being busy, but I still need days like today where I don't do much of anything at all. I got sick a couple of weeks ago, started feeling extremely tired on a Friday. I spent the entire 3-day weekend lying in bed (and catching up on some TV shows). Amazing how your body knows better than you when you need to rest sometimes. I was so thankful for those 3 days because I think it helped me from getting the worst of the sickness going around. The cough is still lingering, but I've been feeling pretty good all of this week.
Work continues to consume my time (for obvious reasons) We have just over a month of school days until state testing and the pressure is on. I went through a short phase of being worn out and my heart wasn't fully in my teaching. After talking to some people and through their encouragement, I'm excited to keep going. Despite the early mornings, I'm excited again for school. As much as my students wear me out and can be annoying (with their complaints and attitudes), I love them all. They are funny and make me laugh. I can't always hold in the laughter, which is sometimes a good thing. I've tried to lighten up a little, not be so consumed with trying to make them act perfectly, and just really enjoy them and being their teacher. (Ok, that makes it sound like I was obsessed with being serious and perfection, which is not true.) Still, though, life is good, and I can't really complain. Hope you've had a great February.
I'm going to *try* to update more. No promises.
