Another year almost over...6 weeks of school to go!

Isn't it wonderful when things fall into place? I'm finished with report cards and will be doing conferences. In the begnning of the school year, when I am stressed from trying to establish a routine and rules, I ask myself WHY I do this each year. In May when I am pounded by things I have to get finished, I ask myself WHY I don't retire. Then the waves settle and I feel a sense of accomplishment and worth. I breathe more deeply; I dance and move and groove in the playroom instead of standing there and supervising little children. Maybe it's my flip flops and the warm weather that releases my inner child. I feel unencumbered; I feel a sense of relief. I feel free.
