At the beginning of every summer I spend two weeks or so doing absolutely nothing. This summer, I was able to sleep late, stay in my pajamas if I wanted and I forced myself not to work! After two weeks of this, I was fortunate enough to spend two glorious weeks with my son, traveling out west. I saw some beautiful scenery and spent many great moments with my family. When I came home I quickly realized that I only had one week of vacation left! Agghhhh!
It is now Sunday evening, at 8:50 pm and I am counting down..................tomorrow morning I start back to work, ready or not. Before writing this, I read my last blog and realized just how run down I was. Staff was getting to me, the stressors of the job were getting to me. I was exhausted. Am I ready to go back?
YES! This summer I forced myself to spend quality time with my family. I forced myself to relax and do whatever I wanted to do. I am fortunate to love my job and I realized I am ready to go back. I am ready to face what walks through the front door. I am ready to do what is best for the students in my school!
That realization will help me sleep tonight. I will walk through the front door of school tomorrow energized and ready to go. Let's see how long I can keep it up! hahahahhahha
