it's not every day a girl gets to move to virginia and discover all kinds of secret places she never would have happened upon in another life, a life without moves and uncomfortable transitions. so this is to those transitions. the kind that aren't always easy, but which make us grow into versions of ourselves we never could have imagined.
on monday, joey started his new job. he comes home every night anxious to report back how much faster his commute was, how many 4-star generals he saw on the metro, and interesting facts about u.s. owned property overseas. i can't tell you how excited i am to see his eyes sparkle with purpose now that he's settling into his first real job. if only we could get those h.r. folks to expedite our much anticipated first paychecks we'd be in business.
for the past three weeks i've been in meetings for hours and hours. my classroom is coming together but there is a ton o' work to be done before tuesday, when the students start back. whoever stole my inclination to stressing out though, thank you very much and do keep that away until forever. old me would have been a crumpled mess of anxiety over this time crunch, but for some reason i find myself feeling mostly nonchalant as the week draws to a close. we'll see how hard i'm kicking myself next week when the anxiety hasn't catapulted me into over-prepared, because lord knows over-prepared is the only way teachers survive. wish me luck ;)
