Wow...Summer's Over

Well, not for most of you, but for me, it is back to work.  This aligning with the Sweetwater calendar really sucks!  Timing isn't perfect, but I am enjoying setting up my classroom and even though I don't have the ideal 4th grade team, I am enjoying the adult interaction.  It is rough, teaching/working all day then coming home to deal with "home life".  Kipp doesn't intend to, but is demanding.  He really just wants the interaction and to talk with me.  I actually totally understand where he's coming from and don't mind at all.  Even though I'm usually super tired, I find the energy to be with him and just interact.  So I'm thankful for the "small stuff", as in "don't sweat the small stuff".  It makes me realize still what is really important in life, and has given me a really unique perspective into my school life.  In the scheme of things, I realize what is really important.  The small stuff will just go away and something will take its place.  So I really don't mind the "small stuff" so much right now:)
