Monday Morning...again?

Welp, the first few days with kids is in the books and I have to say, I LOVE THEM.  They are fun, and eager to learn, and just great kids. However, I was BEAT by the end of Friday and I am wondering how on Earth I'm going to make it thru this week.  It'll be ok, right?

My nephew Aiden's 5th birthday party was this weekend.  I love that kid so much.  He is spunky and sassy and quite frankly hilarious.  It was an awesome way to spend part of my first weekend back.  :)

Yesterday, I spent about 4 hours writing lesson plans.  It's sort of like riding a bike - once I get back into the swing of things it won't take that long - but MY GOSH, that took forever.  It certainly doesn't help that I'm a bit of a perfectionist and that I rarely just "do what I did last year".  Yes, I certainly could just pull out my plans from last year and copy them - but there were things that weren't perfect and/or didn't work last year - so why on Earth wouldn't I change them this year?!  This is my 6th year teaching fifth grade and I am just now figuring things out - seriously.

I'm sad that this awesome cool summer weather is coming to an end tomorrow.  I hate hot weather, so this summer has been so awesome because we've been able to have windows open and take nice walks where it isn't so humid that I feel like I'm in the rain forest.

I have no idea where all of that just came from...but I guess it was floating around in my head somewhere.

Happy Week Friends -
