I've been looking on facebook of all the back to school comments from parents and teachers. When I saw the comments from teachers about Open House and meeting the the parents and students I almost missed teaching a little bit. It's such an exciting time with new faces and new beginnings and the feeling of a fresh start and not the monotonous grind it tends to turn into. Then I saw the posts from parents whose children are going to to kindergarten or middle school or high school. I quickly began realizing how glad I was that I don't have to go to work right now and my boys aren't going to school just yet. The day will come when I can't spend every day with them because they'll be in school, the evenings will be full of homework, dinner, and bedtime, and the weekends will be busy. Eventually I'll have to return to work too and then I won't have as much time. So as much as I think time is flying now I think it's only going to go faster and these lazy days when the 3 of us are home are the times I should cherish.
