It's A Whirlwind

This is how I'm feeling these days....

Happy,

and a bit windblown.
I haven't posted since Aug.19.

Yikes.

I've been working since then.

I love it.

I love the commute- 2 1/2 blocks.

I love the staff.

I love bringing my girls to school.

I love getting to know the kids at school.

I love using my brain again.

I love assessments, and interpreting data.

I love finding ways to motivate kids.

I'll be in this position until 12/16...

and I'm good with that.

My standards at home have had to slide.

Meals are a little simpler these days.

Kids are chipping in to help a bit more.

Laundry piles last a little longer.

Paper stacks are a little higher.

But I love what I'm doing.

I miss zumba.

I miss seeing friends mid-day.

I miss stopping at a garage sale on a Friday morning....all by myself.

I miss getting meals done before the kids home.

I miss having a snack ready on the counter.

Thankfully the kids have all been healthy.

Thankfully Mark's worked from home 1-2 days a week.

Life is good.

I miss my blogging friends,

but have a new little toy which should make blogging a little easier.*

Maybe turning 40 last week wasn't all bad.

It's the new 30, right?

I like it way better than 30.

Life is good.
