And so it goes….
Well, the first day of the rest of my life may have gone slightly better had I not been home sick the day before with stomach flu. But it was okay. I was just weak and tired and nauseous all day. The kids were all there, so that was nice. And, Mike came after school at 11 to help me (well he did most of the hard work actually) get the room packed up and ready for summer. I had to take all my junk home. It is amazing how much STUFF you can fit into one little classroom. Wow! Anyway, I am officially unemployed. No more alarm going off at 4:45 a.m. No more papers to grade, parent/teacher conferences, substitute plans, meetings. I am looking forward to it. I will be a substitute instead next year, and I am going to look into tutoring, and a few other things I have up my sleeve. I will keep you all posted. Thanks for all your encouragement and good wishes. Change is good. Scary sometimes, but always good.
