[sigh]

Do I reeeeeallly have to go back to work in the morning?

Okay, yes, I guess I do. I am thankful to report that we'll get two whole days before the students return, so maybe I'll actually get something DONE in my room. It needs it. And my lesson plans need tending, as well.

I love my job. The only thing I'd change about it would be that it starts too early in the morning. For those who are tempted to point out those eight weeks in the summer, I'd remind you that most teachers I know spend all summer taking classes and getting ready for next year. Plus, might I remind you that most of you DON'T want to spend all day every day with your teenagers. I earn that paycheck, and don't forget it. heh
