My heart is beating a little harder for these things:
-sharpened pencils
-fresh crayons
-getting a bazillion hugs
-using new expo markers
-making lists
-meeting my new sweeties
-spending time with my teacher friends.....they are so much fun!!!
-watching Ah-ha moments
-my very basic but delicious lunch. I eat the same thing almost every day during the school year.
-getting a new class means it's almost time to decorate for fall (see the next item)
-everything fall. It's so close....fall: casseroles, clothes, smells, pies, weather, colors, I can go on and on.
-new school clothes
-using a new school calendar
-football
-fall t.v
Maybe I'm not so excited about:
-breaking in new shoes (I have boxes of band aids just waiting to be used)
-waking up early
-going to bed at a decent time
-getting icky germs. I seriously get strep, pneumonia, colds way too often. Airborne is my friend.
-not being able to turn my brain off at night....visions of homework and assessments dance in my head...
-being a total drag. Maybe not a total drag...but I am energy drained by the weekend and usually just want to stay at home for a few weeks at the beginning of school.
-not seeing The Mr. or kitty babies during the day
Enjoy the Back to School feeling!!!!!
I have to say that I'm pretty jealous! Last year I didn't notice how much I missed the classroom, but this fall, well, there's a little ache in my heart for a classroom full of fresh faces!
