august summer blues

We have had a wonderful summer! The weather could not have been more perfect!! We have spent the summer with family and friends doing all sorts of things, mostly involving swimming and being in the sun. I always tend to get the summer blues that hit around the second week in August. I love my job, but get sad when I think about summer coming to a close. Today will be the first day that I enter my classroom to get things ready for a new batch of 3rd graders starting two weeks from tomorrow. I have been teaching for 15 years now, and I know what I have to do to get my classroom organized (and it won't take me too long), but it just means that my summer is about to end (sniff sniff).
