Back to School!

First day of school = exhausted.  It's been raining all day and you add that to the first day of school jitters/excitement from the kids...you get a group of very exhausted teachers.  I always forget how exhausting the first day is because you are constantly running.  I woke up this morning at 4:30 not because of nerves but just because I did...and found quite a few other teachers who had the same problem.  I did eventually fall back asleep, but the alarm didn't go off much later.  I was greeted by 5 8th grade girls giggling and excited to be back at school this morning.  It was their laughter and stories that made me realize "this is real, we are really back at school".  I love listening to my girls (and boys when they visit) and forming relationships with them.  The school day flew by today and by my 2nd class I was running out of voice.  It was just very tired since I don't talk much at home living by myself hah.  It's going to be a fun year and this week is just going to be very exhausting :)

Top 5 for the day:
1. Smiles from all students young and older
2. Starting the day with chapel and worship
3. A night of sweats and a blanket due to colder weather :)
4. Being greeted with hugs and stories
5. Tech jokes being made by a great science teacher after a busy day

First day of school outfit :)
