Melancholy

Well, it's that time of year! Time for school to start. I have so many mixed feelings right now. I am super sad that my summer is coming to an end. This summer, in particular, has gone by soooooo fast. I am leaving in the morning for my 'last hurrah' - a trip to Gatlinburg for the weekend with a good friend. When I get back next week, I will have to start going to school and get the room ready.

I can't help but wonder about the (up to) 48 little ones who are eagerly anticipating their upcoming year in kindergarten. I know they are wondering who their teacher will be and what she will be like. I pray that I am a good teacher for them. There are so many firsts that will happen for them this year. I hope that I can provide a warm, loving and nurturing place for them while they are in my care.

2008-2009, here we come!
