SCHOOL DAYS

It is hard to believe but school is back in session tomorrow in Fayette County. Ryan and I have been working at our schools for the last couple weeks tyring to get ready (but is this even attainable?). We feel ready but at the same time their is always a bit of nervous tension. Today we had meet the teacher at my elementary school. This is always a fun and interesting day. All my students and parents seemed to arrive at the exact same time so I rushed around the room trying to make the introductions and make sure everyone got what they needed and put their school supplies where they were supposed to go. I then stayed at the school until 6:45 (not really realizing it was that late). I am making a real effort this year to not stay in the building past 5pm. I think it is possible but we'll see. I am somewhat of a workaholic and a semi-perfectionist so sometimes it is just impossible to leave before 5pm.

Overall, it is setting up to be another great year. My school is at a great place and we keep on moving up!!! Now though I need to finish a couple things before I go to bed (at my new bedtime 9:30). I think that in summer Olympic years school shouldn't start until the last gold has been won. I can hardly do anything except watch, but I guess that changes tomorrow.
