I think it was three years ago that I was really excited to get back to school. I went in early (I had a special helper go with me) and got things set up. I cut and pasted and colored a few things. I thought about desk placement and where this shelf should go and where I could put that file cabinet.
I don’t remember last year (if I was super excited or not).
I greet this year with mixed feelings. We hate change. We don’t like things to be different. BUT, last year was so bad. The kids were bad, we stopped caring, we didn’t feel supported… and it was a vicious cycle.
This year will be very different in a lot of ways. I think they will be good. Or I’m trying to stay positive and optimistic about it. I think these changes will be good.
I have to go to school today. Only a half day, but I do have to go. Wednesday, we go in “balls to the wall” as they say (or as I like to say). I think a year or two ago, I would have gone early. Not this year. I don’t want to be there one minute more than i have to be.
So, while I’m trying to stay optimistic, I still am feeling a lot or resistance from within. I mean, seriously… I have to leave in a few minutes and here I am blogging away.
Ask me what I’m wearing today… I’m wearing fleece-like pants, a tank-top and flip-flops. Not exactly “business” type dress. But really, I’m still so much in summer mode that it’s all I can do.
And, also, I’ve gained weight this summer, so my good butt jeans are a bit tight. So I have to go with the stretchy pants. But whatever. They’re so comfy. And I’m getting there. I’m getting myself to school so I should get some credit for that.
Here’s hoping.
