Hello, Goodbye...

Tomorrow I go back to work as a second grade teacher. My summer is officially over. I love teaching, but the end of summer is always so bittersweet.

Hello early mornings.

Hello lesson plans.

Hello Diet Coke addiction.

Hello trying to wake up Ruby each morning.

Hello having to dress up every day.

Hello dramatic colleagues.

Hello painful shoes.

Hello twenty-five smiling (hopefully) second graders.

Hello late night school events.

Hello funny things kids say.

Hello staff meetings.

Hello missing Ruby during the day.

Hello feeling stressed and tired all the time.

Hello school year.

Goodbye wearing yoga pants all day.

Goodbye late nights.

Goodbye swimming all day with Ruby.

Goodbye weekly trips to the zoo.

Goodbye working out every day.

Goodbye afternoon naps.

Goodbye morning story time at the library.

Goodbye homemade breakfast.

Goodbye random morning shopping trips.

Goodbye relaxation.

Goodbye spending the days outdoors.

Goodbye flip flops.

Goodbye sanity.

This makes me laugh...
