So very tired.

This is pretty much how I feel.

Seriously? Longest.week.ever. In between settling into our house/unpacking/trying to find random things, meeting my new students, having morning duty (I volunteered to switch with someone so I am really not seeking sympathy!) outside in the humidity, working with my new teammates to figure out what in the world we are doing**, and getting to know Sophie's routines/preferences/quirks, I have barely had time to think.

**Have I mentioned that our team now has eight ladies working together to plan our brand new curriculum? So new that we received it about three weeks before school started. It's exciting yet frightening at the same time. And by frightening, I think I mean stressful because it's hard to get ahead of the work. For example, I am the "copy queen" for the first six weeks (we rotate jobs). Once we finally agree on an activity, someone still needs to generate the appropriate content and send it out to the team for revising and approval. After it's finalized, I  am then able to make copies and pass them out to the team (hopefully more than a day before it's supposed to be used). I just felt like I needed to document that because it's been consuming a lot of my thoughts lately.

That being said, I absolutely love my job. I've had so many interactions with students already that I've tried to take mental pictures to remember (Elizabethtown, anyone??) in the future.

This three-day weekend could not have occurred at a more perfect time for me. :o)
