I woke up this morning and the temperature was 52 degrees! I LOVE this kind of weather. The humidity is low, the temperatures are low, the sun is out…it’s wonderful. I love the fall and with this weather it’s beginning to feel more like it. Of course I know it will get warm again for a short time but it’s nice to get a sneak peak of fall before it actually arrives. Love it!

It’s been very dry here so I doubt we’ll see vibrant colors in the trees like we did last year but it would be nice to see the colors of fall. Fall really is my favorite time of the year. I hope we do see some beautiful colors this year.

I am dead tired. The first week of the school year is over. The kids aren't so bad but the parents are a pain in the ass. Teacher would be so easy if there weren't any parents. Ha Ha. I'm ready to just relax and enjoy the weekend with the boyfriend. Of course Sunday will be here before I know it and I'll have to get some work done before returning to work on Monday. At least one week is done. I'm not sure how many are left but There are roughly 176 school days left until next summer. I hope it comes fast or I win the lottery between now and then so I can stop working. I feel like I'm really getting old. I have a hard time getting to sleep because I have so many things from the day running through my mind. And I'm so tired when I get home. It must be because of age. Yea, that's it. Have a great weekend!

The boyfriend headed back to work today. I don't officially start back until next week but decided to go back to work today. I knew I'd have a lot to do before the meetings start next week.

Over the summer everything in my classroom was moved out so they could remove the carpet and replace it with tile. The tile looks great but I basically had to start from scratch and put everything back in the right place. Today I was able to move all the furniture back in place and begin to unpack the boxes of books I had. Those few things took me several hours today. I plan to go back each day this week to get most of my classroom set up before next week. There is so much to do.

I'm really tired from doing all the moving today. I fear my back will be in pain tomorrow morning.
