change

change is difficult. and perhaps more difficult for me. i am routine. my mom said i have possessed this quality ever since i was little. new schedules, new routines disrupt me. so this week has been difficult. a change of pace.

i returned to work. a room with 28 tiny first graders. a new grade level. a wing with different teachers. a team teacher {my partner in crime and saving grace}. just lots of change.

and it's all so strange. i was suffering from cabin fever those last weeks of maternity leave. and now i am suffering from cabin fever withdrawal. weird.

and these two things sum it all up...
