Dwindling...

New Year's Day...only three days until I go back to work. I've really enjoyed my two weeks off and I am already counting down the days until I have summer break. I know, it's sad, but I really have been enjoying this "me" time I've been getting. Lots of time to think, reflect, plan, and worry about what the end of the year will bring. Moving to a new high school next year, hopefully coaching the boys soccer team, starting my Ed Tech classes. Continuing to try and keep in contact with friends from college and high school.

I did however get to go back home to North Dakota for about a week and spend time with my family and take care of my mother for a few days after her surgery. I also got to see my best friend and it's the little things in life that make me truly happy. Sharing a conversation, drinking an ice-cold beverage, hugging, sharing secrets, and enjoying how the snow sparkles are just some of the things I know I will miss until I see my friend again. Hopefully with the New Year some of my kids will have made resolutions to make education a priority.

One can only wish...
