Back to Work

Well, not quite yet, but it is the first thing I thought about when I woke up this morning. . . Pretty typical when school is in. This tells me it's about that time. Spring Break is done. I'm not too excited about it because after this, there are no more breaks until summer vacation. I'm already looking forward to it. I know people think, "Man, teachers have it so good. They get the weekends off, Thanksgiving, winter break, mid winter break, spring break, and summer break." Yes, this is true, but you must understand that if I didn't have these times off, I'd be in the looney bin. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do. The children are great, I feel lucky to be their teacher, and it's so cool to watch them learn. . . but f%$#. . . They're a tough crowd! If I didn't have that time away from them, then I'd go insane!

So, the break is over. Tonight is a school night and I hit the ground running tomorrow morning. On a scale from one to ten, ten being the best, I'd give this spring break about an 7.5-8. I didn't do anything extrememly exciting, but it was wonderful to have some time for myself.
