Wounded and Tired Before Battle

It’s the week before school starts for the kids but the teachers are back in the classroom preparing. Meetings, planning, eating and discussing like old times. 2months didn’t seem like enough time. Yet the paycheck didn’t seem enough for the 2 months of hard, effortless unemployment.

At first I dreaded going back to work. After two days back on campus I am pretty excited! Unfortunately the body is not yet coping with this labor intensive thinking. I am already tired by 8pm and I haven’t even taught a lesson yet, let alone talk in front of crazy-Summer-amped kids?!?!

I even feel my throat getting itchy…

Seriously, a casualty right before it actually starts. How lame-O.
