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.

  1. Aw, happy birthday friend! So glad to hear that things are going well at home and at work. We work so hard to make things so simple for our families, but it is good to step away and let them step up sometimes, no? Enjoy this time, this season, and I look forward to hearing from you when you get the chance!
