The End of Summer Blues
Monday, August 6th, 2007 | Sara the Teacher
I am definitely singing the “End of Summer Blues!” Why is it that when August hits, I am no longer enjoying the days I have left, but rather getting nervous for the months to come? I *love* teaching, I really do. But, I also enjoy staying home, watching “junk” daytime TV, staying up late, sleeping in, baking bread, taking lunch to friends, sending notes in the mail, reading a book while sipping tea at Starbucks, and taking care of my husband and home. I’ve had an extremely relaxing summer! I am so blessed to truly enjoy a “sabbath” and re-energize for the long months to come.
However, the official “back-to-school” nightmares have started; the ones where I can’t control my classes and my lesson isn’t planned (or fails miserably!). I just need to keep reminding myself that I actually do know what I’m doing each September, and just as He was the last 3 years, God is with me. While it doesn’t necessarily make me countdown the days to school like the tired parents of my soon-to-be students do, it does make me grateful that I don’t have to start the school year alone.

I am so glad that you had a re-energizing summer! You will probably more refreshed than ever your first week back. As one of those friends that you took lunch to, thank you very much. It was very yummy!
