Anyway as you know, teaching is full of ups and downs and hopefully you will find the joys in the little things or should I say little people. I find that different times of the year are easier than others, the beginning of the year can be very draining and I come home some nights and just veg out for a bit. But the more the kiddos get into the routine, and you get through that first big assessment, parent teacher conferences and progress reports, things even out. I am heading into all of that in the next few weeks so I am looking towards Thanksgiving being the...."I think things are going smoothly" time. I am sure your commute will soon be filled with the thoughts and songs of praise and God will continue to point out to you the joys you have as being a teacher, of molding little minds, of finding love, curiosity and silliness in the many small moments of your day. Take heart and know there are many of us feeling the same way you do :)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773113646768488317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768026481583425085.post-18731338420796433132013-10-05T13:17:11.209-05:002013-10-05T13:17:11.209-05:00I enjoyed your blog, too!I enjoyed your blog, too!Chrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841483739221560253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768026481583425085.post-13351614503099275492013-10-05T13:16:43.194-05:002013-10-05T13:16:43.194-05:00Thanks for your encouraging words!Thanks for your encouraging words!Chrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841483739221560253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768026481583425085.post-47002073839898334952013-10-05T13:16:14.622-05:002013-10-05T13:16:14.622-05:00Tears--me AND them, Curse Words--NOT me!
