where has this month gone??

I just realized that I haven't blogged since the very beginning of the month. Oh my. I wonder if anyone else has noticed? Ha.

Back to school time is always a busy time of year for this teacher, but this year has been MUCH more overwhelming than usual. Not only did I move classrooms-heck, I do that EVERY single year, but I changed grade levels AND subjects. So, I am feeling a bit(okay A LOT) more overwhelmed than usual.

Added to all this stress was the fact that it wasn't only back to school for me, but my lil man began Kindergarten on Tuesday!! I managed to stay dry-eyed, although I am not 100% certain how that happened. He was so darn thrilled to be going to MY school and reminds me daily that Bay Crest is now OUR school. He is loving it, but I will say that I was not at all surprised when on the second day of school, he came home with a check mark in his behavior folder. Oy, gonna be a LONG year.

My kiddos this year seem sweet. I have many of the same ones that I had last year and that is a good thing. Surprising to take note that a bunch of them really seem to have "grown" up over the summer!! Unfortunately, I am still not feeling completely comfy with the math/science curriculum, but that will come with time and me doing MY homework and preparation.

Next Tuesday the 31st may actually bring NUMEROUS changes to my assignment so I am not(well trying not to) stress too too much. As we keep saying, "with the class sign ammendment in full enforcement this year, everything is subject to change."
If a certain someone gets a phonecall on Monday or Tuesday, then my assignment may just change significantly as will my group of students, teaching partner and way more than I am willing to mentally deal with at this point. So, for the time being, I am going thru the motions, doing what I need to do and awaiting Monday/Tuesday before I settle in completely.

I am a true believer that everything happens the way that it is supposed to when it supposed to, so I KNOW that worrying/stressing over any of this is not in my best interest, and Tuesday WILL be here soon enough.

For the time being, I will hang in there and wish only good things for this certain someone, despite the upheaval it may create.

I am MORE than ready for this rainy/crummy weather to be DONE with. We have NOT seen the FLorida sunshine in over a week and although many luv living in Seattle, I NEED me some vitamin D. So, rain rain go away please and while you are at it, Tuesday, would u just hurry up and arrive?

Happy Thursday. Hoping for a sunshine-filled weekend!!
