Day three of teacher training, “full time” away from home, homework every night, and I haven’t even started in the classroom yet. I’m exhausted! Rushed and trying not to be cranky with the kids. Tired. Oh wait, I said that already. One more day, then into the schools we go.

I picked Eve up from dance camp yesterday and took her to run errands. She was tired and wanted to go to a playground. I was tired and wanted to go home. We did ok, but we both clearly didn’t want to be there. As we headed home Eve said to me, “Mommy, I’m glad you have a job you like doing, but I wish we could go back to how it was last year.” So sweet and so sad because we are only just beginning!
