This is my favorite time of year! I love the weather, the change of the season, the energy in the air. Autumn has always been the best as far I am concerned. School starts, high school football, college football, NFL (all football in general!), pumpkins, sweaters, the State Fair, cool evenings...all my favorite things!
October always seems to be one of the busiest months at school. End of the first six weeks of school, assessments, parent conferences, trainings, family events all take so much time. And yet, I find this is my best time to reflect on how my life is going. The fiscal year is ending and my career year is beginning. Lots going on at the same time. Lots of things to think about. Was this a good year for me personally? Did I accomplish all the things I promised myself in January I was going to do? Only a few more weeks to get them done! How will this school year pan out? Will I be able to reach my goals and will the kids and the teachers feel successful? How do I blend my two lives together and keep them separate at the same time?
October is a month of stress and rejuvenation all rolled into one. A beginning and an end all at the same time. Hard to explain it...but I love it!!
