home, ugh!

I want to go home! It's getting much colder here which is making me think of home much more, kind of weird, huh? Walking out the door to crispy cold air every morning over this past week has made me think of home much more... I miss it!

1 more week and it is Thanksgiving break, thank God. I need a break from circus conducting. I need some sleep and some peace. These children are CRAZY. My teaching partner is out for the week due to a death in the family, the other 5th grade English teacher is out due to illness, this leaves the new teacher (who started a week ago) and myself to hold down 80 5th graders. And! I got a new student today! And! I have to miss this afternoon to go to a training on how to login to a website. UGH.

My sickness is going away, I am still fairly congested, two weeks of this crap! But! I did not miss a day of work.

Home, home, home. 6 more months of teaching.

The good news is that now that I am teaching Saturday school, I am only working at the running store on an as needed basis... so I am not going to be on the schedule every weekend... I get to tell them when I am able to work. This is a lot of relief and will relax a lot of anxiety that comes with having to work on the weekends.

Anyway, enough of my mindless rambles. I miss you all. If you ever want to send me mail or packages from Oregon, California, or Washington, or wherever you are, I would appreciate it! At this point I need whatever to get through this last 6 miles of my 26 mile (month) marathon!!!!

Robert!! I love reading about Gallegos. It's so weird to hear your commentary on all the things that used to bug me (remember? haha...) but now it's like some faded memory. I usually only remember the good stuff now. So maybe that's something to look forward to-- I feel like I've mellowed out a lot since leaving the classroom. Anyway, I'm coming to visit the first week you guys are back from Christmas break and I'm coming to hang out with you at Gallegos for sure so have some projects/copies ready for me to work on for you (as if that would be a problem;)
