The light at the end of the tunnel

 The light at the end of the tunnel has begun to shine through. Only a few weeks left I can so do this! My motivation is the beach that beckons my name.

Inside out and back again:

They twist and they pull
This way and that
Until nothing is right
Or in the same place
I am inside out
Trying to escape

Breaks are not long enough
Sleep does not come
Alarm clock sounds
Earlier each day

Deep breath
Inhale

Exhale

Keep plugging along
Soon it will be done

They congratulate
They cheer
The grass is greener
On the other side
I am back again

Drowning in a sea of paperwork!

 This week has been total chaos, and it is only Tuesday. I am afraid of what the rest of the week has in store for me. The paperwork is piling higher, and higher as each day passes. I feel as if I am drowning in a sea of paperwork! HELP!!! I hope I am not the only one that is feeling a little overwhelmed. WE CAN DO IT! My words of encouragement, mostly for myself, but I hope it helps the rest of you as well. Good Luck, and may the rest of the week be calm(er).

I am thankful

Today I am thankful for all the lovely faces in my classroom. They make the worst day seem bright and safe. I just adore them!
