Back to Reality!!

I just finished my "week" of work today--my three day week!! And as much as I dreaded going back to work after the two week break, it was a delightful time with the students!! We have a fantastic class--very loving kids. There's something about work, I don't know if it is the structure, the feeling of worth, the actual job, the children, the fellow staff members--it's just a very good part of my life these days. As the economy gets tighter, I feel like I will never quit work. On the other hand, if there are more and more cutbacks in the state budget, things may happen that are out of my control. (As if anything is really in my control!!) I really like my job and the money too!! I really don't want to lose my job!! But, rather than worry about that, I will continue to just enjoy each day I have in our little classroom, with our little first graders.

Happy New Year!!

Last night was quiet for us. We had Jafta and India over to spend the night so mommy and daddy could celebrate both Kristen's birthday and New Year's Eve. We watched Wally in front of the fireplace in our jammies. A great night!! Today, however, the kids were up at 6:00--still on Florida time!! We've been playing, reading, and they are now watching Rudolph with grandpa. I have been trying for the last 30 minutes to begin paying my bills on line (one of my New Year's Resolutions)--and a big step for this barely computer literate grandma. And of course, it is not letting me sign up--no wonder I get discouraged!! I guess I will wait til tomorrow and try to call someone. I will not write checks today!! I will win at this game!! I've made coffee and guess I had better go relieve grandpa--maybe it's time for breakfast! Happy New Year to all!!
