End of Vacation

When I wake up tomorrow, my vacation will have officially ended. I love to go to work, but I do like staying at home too. I think the biggest part about going back to work is all the time I will be missing with Izzy, but she is at a great school and I am thankful that I make a good living and have the flexibility to have such long vacations. I have the best of both worlds. I am ready to start my 7th year of this adventure in teaching. It has been a good start so far with my district being proactive with giving me an additional aide (although my caseload was increased) and the biggie, I have a larger classroom. Good part is that I didn't have to move. The psychologist who use to share with the counselor (who was laid off), is moving to a classroom right across the way, and I have accordian doors, so we are going to have them opened about 10 feet and we now have 5 distinct teaching areas, the flexibility to move around when we teach, more storage, more wall space, and hopefully a quieter environment. We will see. Now, I only have to teach for 19 more school days and then I get a vacation. Wooh, I am going to need it!
