Peace Out

Tomorrow is my first official day back at work. I have two weeks of workshops   until school starts on the 21st.  Monday and Tuesday will be reading workshops and then Wednesday through Friday are new teacher workshops. I’m nervous about starting in a new school district AGAIN, but excited to get back to work. I’m sure T will be happy to start school with his new friends. I know he’s missed having a group of buddies to play with. There are not many four year olds in our neighborhood for him to play with and a couple of “gym mommies” that I’ve called have been rather aloof. So, he’s excited to be around four year olds. W is of course always excited to go back to school. I hope his fourth grade year is a little more stable than third grade. At least he’ll be in the same school all year.

My first blog post ever! How exciting! I decided to start my own blog because I enjoy reading other people’s so much. I also would like to chronicle and organize my feelings as the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina approaches. I wish that I had kept a blog for that. The boys and I went to Chris Greene Lake to escape the heat today. I think they were both getting tired of the water park ( I know I was!) and this was a nice diversion. The water was so warm, though and the air so hot, that you just had to sit in the water without moving for the whole time. Tomorrow, M’s dad and stepmom are coming for a visit and I’m looking forward to showing off C-ville. Also, my first weigh-in at WW. Nervous about that! I manage to stay on program throughout the week and then have a really hard time when the weekend rolls around. I figure I’ll get in the groove once school starts again (one more week- aaaaaagh!)
