exhaustion has set in & it's only tuesday

Helllo exhaustion, I knew you'd be paying me a visit around this time.  It's that time of year -- the beginning of school -- and I need to get teacher conditioned.  I feel like my feet are about to dislocate at the ankles.  It's okay though because I can't feel them anyway. 

It's been quite a busy couple of days!  These sweet little 6th graders are venturing into the land of middle school, and boyyyyy are they a nervous wreck.  Remember those days?!?! They're actually adjusting quickly, and I'm spending my days being part teacher and part mamma, at least until they figure out what the heck an "A" day vs. a "B" day is. Another new thing comes along with teaching 6th grade -- brunch.  They officially call it lunch, but when they serve it at 10:45am I have a hard time getting on board with a turkey sandwich and putting my feet up. 

Anyway, I've got a GREAT group of students, and I'm counting my little blessings everyday...even the days I want to go to bed at 7:15pm.

  1. Hello there!!!

    I found your blog while browsing some other ones, and I was so happy (and stunned) to hear how very much the same we are!! I have been called a gypsy too, my husband and I have seen three different states in one year, and we are now in Texoma. My husband and I have a dog, Molly girl, and we are expecting our first lil babe in February.

    I Love your blog!!! I'm your newest follower and look forward to coming back more often!!

    Take Care.
