i love autumn. i adore october, hot cider, cool nights, thick books, thunderstorms, back to school, oranges, reds, yellows, sweaters, leaves, & all the other things that go with autumn.
today i decided that one of the reasons i like autumn is because by the time october rolls around i finally have time to catch my breath! august always kicks my butt- i don’t know why i ever think it will be different. my mum has been teaching on & off since the 70′s & still get stressed! last year i wasn’t worried at all- it was going to be my 3rd year at the charter school. i knew my kids and my classes- things were set, life was good. little did i know! 
this year i have a new school, a completely new job with more & different responsibilities, and… well, i’m a little overwhelmed.
i’m so incredibly excited to finally be in the library and out of the regular classroom. i’m terrified to work in an elementary school (so many munchkins!) but thrilled about picture books & early readers. i’m terrified of my administrative tasks & budgets but passionate about book selection, programming, & flex scheduling. i’m really excited to see what He has in store for me this year. and where this all leads… if i can only make it through august!
