Finally the week is over. I don't normally feel this way, but after this week I definitely do! I made it though...amazingly. It is funny how my days of summer seem now like dreams from long ago...I am so immersed in teaching right now that I think about it and even dream about it constantly. I am hoping this all dies down in the weeks to come.
Brice and I thought there was no better time than last night to go and enjoy some sushi...for us it is like chicken soup...it always makes us feel better, and that it did. We both went in stiff, talking about our stresses of the week and stories we kept re-playing through our minds. After leaving, full as ticks, it was like all those thoughts were trapped away in that small file folder of our mind marked, "do not read until next week".
Now, it is Saturday morning...it felt so great to change that alarm from 4:30-7:30...I told Brice this morning I had forgotten what it feels like to truly enjoy Saturday. I am going to try my hardest this weekend to not be consumed with my job, but instead to reflect on the great things that happened to me this week. I have to remember that life will go on for these little "friends" and they will move on to 2nd grade, and even on to college some day. First grade is not the tell all end all of their lives, nor should it be mine!
