I don’t generally run in the early mornings, and never before work. But today my son and I were up at 6:20am at my parents’ house and I knew it would be too hot to run after my work meeting (and extra day for extra $), so I got dressed and headed out. And it was beautiful and cool and the park was empty and I was so stoked to be getting my run in before the day started. I wish I could run more before work, but I just can’t do it before commuting at 7am. I know many people can manage that, but I just can’t.
Today was a decent day. The meeting wasn’t that bad and it ended early. I got my daughter a bunch of clothes at the 30% off Women’s Apparel sale at Target (and was even able to buy some stuff I got last week on sale, and then return it with my full price receipt). I stopped by my classroom and my floors looked amazing AND they had put all my furniture back where it goes. Usually it takes me a whole day of moving stuff back, but not this year! It feels like I won a time prize.
The kids had a great time at the water park with my parents. We got In-n-Out on our way home. Tomorrow they have their well visits in the morning and then they get to lounge at home for their last day of summer. Wednesday they start school. Thursday is my first official staff day. Our summer vacation is over.
And that is fine. We had a fun, full summer. Now it’s time to get back to real life.
What an absolutely lovely start to your school year! Thank you for the picture.
Wishing everyone a good school year start and may the academic year continue with joy and health.
Happy back to school! This time is always bitter sweet for me. I love to teach and I also love summers. But I’m looking forward to finding my mojo again 😉 since teaching fuels my soul.
