sometimes i have to work really hard

..... at being adult.

In a sense... I guess. In many ways im a very old soul. The last few years have been so tough on me. Made me realize I am responsible for myself. No one else is going to be. So it's up to me. That and just well, I just grew up I guess. Bash my heart around some and you lose some of your naivete... or however ya spell it.

On the flip side of that coin is my old self. Full of crazy enthusiasm. Full of love...laughter and life. The side that my students crave. I get just as excited as they do about what we are doing in class. Sometimes more so. Never was I happier than on Halloween morning....seeing their faces and knowing that....in a few hours we'd be having a party.... and well, it was special.

But dangit, it's hard to reign all that in sometimes. Cutting snack break short because we need more work on proper nouns. Bleh.

Teaching is in my soul.......... but it plays a close second ....to playing *L

i love my job!
