Confession

I am a teacher. Everyone thinks teaching must be so great because you get summers off. Guess what. I've never taken a summer off. For years I ran a horse camp. That was fun, but I just got tired of all the drama.

Now I run the summer school, and I am loving it! I was thinking about that as I drove to work today. What would I do with three months of vacation? I honestly can't say. I would like to think my house would be spotless, my husband constantly treated with gourmet dinners, and my butt finally kicked into shape because I spent hours at the gym each day. In reality though, I think I would probably just end up blogging a lot and watching many episodes of the original 90210. I'm such a loser. I just get a lot of pleasure out of my work. It really is a career for me.

The pace of summer school is definitely different though. Way more laid back, no grading, etc. Plus this week I've been working on getting all moved in to my new office. I'll take lots of pictures in the coming weeks to show you the finished product. I wish I had taken a few of the original state of affairs. It was disgusting. I bet I spent 12 solid hours just cleaning the place. ::shudder::

  2. Being on maternity leave for 3 months has been more of an adjustment than I realized. Don't get me wrong, I love spending time with my son, but it's weird being home so much.
