This weekend has felt immensely long and yet I dont feel ready yet to head back to work tomorrow. I did a lot of things, had a lot on my plate and dont think that I accomplished nearly as many things as i would have liked to and i feel vaguely unsettled that I need to do something and havent.
The thing with cleaning the house is it never gets done. I tidy here and there and just as glance back over my shoulder to see all that I have run about doing, there is somethng else there, filling the clean room void of our home. There arent enough hours in teh day to have things stay neat and I appreciate the notion that I can clean my house all I want when I have an empty nest and nothing will come along to spoil my hard work, but i'd like a glimmer of that now, you know?
Anyway, I am feeling better, after fighting a bit of a cold and getting rid of the enormous milk duct blockage that occured late last week. It was terrible and painful and hopefully never repeated. I can do without feeling like I have a balloon super inflated inside my breast and then calcifying there for good measure. We have also gotten rid of the blip of pink eye that Elena appeared to have contracted last week as well.
Work is going pretty well for me, I am really enjoying the challenge of teaching the ages I have and while they arent easy by a long shot, I feel like I am pretty proficient at it and after 2 months or so, we are settling into a routine. I am introducing letterboxes, take home literacy enrichment projects. I am hoping that this will ease off any concerns that parents might have of not being involved enough, and provide some feedback as to how the kids will be able to handle kindergarten next year.
I guess I am feeling the typical fall depression that seems to plague me as we get less and less exposure to the sun. I need somewhere hot and sunny for a week. Sigh.
