Easy Money Ranch

Sophie says it all the time.  We'll see some jr high or high school students and she'll say, "hey mom - its one of your kids!"  She knows them and she is right, they are "my kids".  I love them all and I am so excited to welcome them back to school next Tuesday.  Tomorrow I go back to work.  Buy bye summer - hello Fillmore Central.  But what a fun year.  A year of changes.  A new room, a new title, and new courses to teach.  I love change.  Change keeps you fresh, keeps you young and keeps you on your toes.  I would hate to get stagnant and lazy.  It is too easy to fall into that rut.  I am a little ahead of my cycle though.  I taught 6th grade for 4 years, 4th grade for 4 years and at the middle school for only 3 before I moved again.    But that is okay.  See, it is a change and I am okay with that!  the girls and I have my room all unpacked, some decorations up and my desk ready to go.  I am so ready for that first workshop day tomorrow.  We'll get the basics over and done with and then the excitement builds! I can't wait to see all of "my kids" again!  I get to see some of my kids that I sent to the high school several years ago.  I cannot wait.  I am sure I am way more excited to see them, than they are to see me.  But that will not deter my excitement!  Like Sophie says, "Mom - it is one of your kids!"  Yup, Sophie - I have LOTS of kids and they all are equally important to me.
