...but just barely!
No, that's not totally true! I had my first day of school yesterday and I survived. But I was EXHAUSTED by the time it was over. Today went a lot more smoothly. I didn't have to check the schedule every second, I remembered some of the students names, I wasn't completely wiped out by the end of the day.
It is tough to be a teacher! I have been at school for the past week and a half every day for school or training, then I come home and work on lesson plans (oh, and let's be honest, some Olympic watching!).
I am teaching 5th, 6th, and 7th grade students--that's a lot of names to remember! My students are (for the most part) sweet. I can already tell I am going to have some students that will be a little bit of a handful. But I have my eye on them and we will nip that in the bud pretty quickly!
Jack and I before the first day of school.
Check out Jack's new kicks! Couldn't you just eat him up in them?
We have gotten a good amount of stuff done around the house lately. Today we got our dining room chairs in. When I find a chance to breathe, I will post pics...I LOVE them!

I'm so glad it went well! That first day can be so overwhelming.
You have my prayers, especially teaching that age span. Hope you have a wonderful year!
Marley, you look GREAT! And Jack's sneakers... so sweet. Miss you guys!
You look gorgeous! That's a great color on you! And Jack is too cute for words, as always. :)
