All us teachers have been guilty of eternal-negativity when the 1st of August rolls around. Play-time is over. School shopping begins. Teacher In-Service and Open House is right around the corner.
But this summer have I vowed to be positive. After all, school doesn't begin until September. That means, I still have around 35 days left of my summer. Sure it might be a little busy when we start getting the girls ready for the school year, but I am still not AT WORK! Which means, I still have a whole MONTH left of:
limited alarm setting
drinking coffee in my PJ's
playing out on our playground with the littles for hours on end
staying up late with a glass of wine - just because I can
going to the beach whenever I want
4 more sessions of Play Group
bike rides around the lake
being able to do what I want, when I want (for the most part)
The list goes on and on. Not many professionals get 3 whole months off (in a row) every single year. I will NOT waste 1/3 of it feeling sorry for myself that it is "almost over".
No Sir.
Not me.
Now if you will excuse me, I have some LIFE to live!
