Monday, August 13th. My first day back to work after two months of summer vacation. This is a day I have not been looking forward to for several reasons. Going back to work means getting up really early, time away from my kiddos, exhaustion, added stress, and the list goes on.
In an attempt to look at the positive, and I'll admit, a little bit silly, side of things, I came up with a list of several reasons of why I am looking forward to the end of summer vacation. Here are some of the things I came up with:
1. Enjoying my morning workout without an audience, who while meaning to provide encouraging comments, is not so encouraging.
2. Being able to visit the restroom without being asked, "Is it going to be long or short?" or "Do you have to go a lot or a little bit?"
3. Answering to a name other than "mom" or "mama".
4. Having expectations other than feeding, clothing or playing being placed upon me.
5. Not being apprised of the color, frequency, or size of anyone's bowel movements.
Seriously, I am looking forward to the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of my students, their families and my colleagues. Join me in praying for a productive and enjoyable 2012-2013 school year.
