I haven’t been around here much lately, I know. Turns out April is busy in the best kind of way.
I hope you’re all well, and that April {so far} has been good to you, too.
My days have looked a little like this lately:
School
Time with Zan
Netflix/Reading
Sleep
REPEAT
First grade is taking over the bulk of my energy and I’m loving it. I’ve been in those moods after school where I stay on for hours getting things done, and the whole time I’m there I’m enjoying myself. I always like what I do, but winter drags me down sometimes and the list of things to do piles on with little to no motivation to keep the momentum going. Papers collect, stuff gets pushed to the way-side, and my mind jumps from thing to thing without a lot of effort to just be.
These days it’s different. These days I’m letting myself be completely immersed in my classroom and it feels wonderful. I have a sneaking suspicion it has to do with the sun being out longer and vacation being just around the corner, but still. Open House is next week, too, and that always gets my teacher-mode going into super-drive. Perfectionism at it’s best.
The days are going by fast and time with the littles is making me happy. I know these kids so well by now. I know what makes them tick, and they know how to make me laugh. We have so much fun for those 6 hours a day we’re together. I adore it.
This weekend is all about the nothing, the everything, the whatever I so choose.
{And cheering on Syracuse, definitely that, too.}
Life’s kind of like a roller coaster right now from week to weekend, but I love roller coasters so I’m just enjoying the ride.
