It’s the last day of summer before I go back to work. Technically, the day is over and I have to be there in just a bit over seven hours from now. I should be sleeping, I know. I can never sleep the night before. The first night AFTER starting work, yeah, I can sleep. Mainly because I won’t sleep tonight.

I’m stressed out because I’m not sure what to expect – this is my first year starting somewhere new in 16 years. I’m working at two schools so I’m not totally sure where I’m supposed to be each day. I’ve seen a schedule of the high school week, but I haven’t seen anything about the middle school. My plan is to go to the high school in the morning, then the middle school in the afternoon. We’ll see what actually happens.

I mostly got over my cranky mood from yesterday, but I felt touchy all day today too. I hope it’s gone tomorrow. I want to have a good day, even if I am going to be tired (which I am). It will probably be good to get back to a routine. Both kids are excited to go back; maybe I need to take a cue from them.

Either way, time moves on and tomorrow is coming.
