Back to real life

My break has come and gone, taking me from Tulsa to Arkansas and all the way up to Chicago. I slept on three different couches and drove numerous miles across the country. I even had a flat along the way, making it an official road trip. The trip was just what I needed. I got to be someone other than the teacher of 22 eight-year-olds for a week. I got to visit friends and see new places. I got to sleep in, read, and sit around in the sun drinking milkshakes. Can't get much better than that.

My TAKS scores also came in during the break. Although they were not as good as I would have liked, they were much better than I expected them to be. I flew into Dallas at 10 last night. My kids and I have been yawning an awful lot today.
