Facing the Truth



I guess it is time for me to face the truth...the school year is once again starting.  When I was younger this would always be the worst and best time of year for me.  On one hand I was always sad that I had to start school again and that I needed to do homework again.  On the other hand, I was excited because the start of the school year meant seeing my friends again and getting to buy new clothes.  Now in my adult life I am met with a little bit of the same feelings. 

Of course I like my job, I wouldn't do it if I didn't, but no one WANTS to go back to work after having almost three months off.  It also means that the summer season is coming to a close and the tank tops and shorts need to be put away.  I think probably the worst thing about going back to work is the notion of having to get dressed up again every day.  The teaching part, I am okay with that, seeing the kids, I am actually almost excited about, but waking up and getting dressed....uh...I'm not ready yet!

I love fall and everything that comes with it, Halloween, Thanksgiving, the ability to wear fall jackets and my new cute Calvin Klein pumps, I just could really wish that I didn't have to go back to the daily grind.  Anyhow, today I went back to school shopping, and although this time it was for classroom supplies and not new clothes it was still fun and I am excited to have new things and excited to use them.  I have so many ideas for this next year, although I am sure I will forget half of them on the second day of school when the madness sets in.  Fall really is a new, fresh, crisp beginning...now I just have to convince myself that I am excited!
