Working

Back to school.

I have been filling in as a classroom teacher while the principal works to fill the vacancy. Being in that room feels very natural and makes me miss classroom teaching. It is exciting and got me thinking of ideas for lessons, projects, and team/community building. And that excitement is what reminded me I cannot be a classroom teacher right now. Teaching in a classroom consumes me, in order to do the job I want to do. So I need to let that go, and be thankful I have a teaching job that allows me to work with students, and still do this baby growing job I have.

Part time work is gearing up, and I am feeling much better about it, mostly because I have an amazing boss who is very supportive. She proposed restructuring my position to alleviate some stress and assured me she can handle any decision I need to make for my family. Whew.

Things are busy, which I am thankful for. I need distraction from the doctor appointment jitters.
