Work in Progress
I think I may have used this title previously, but whatever, it's still true.
The return to work after my vacation a few weeks ago was a really tough one. Like...near constant panic attacks and several consecutive nights of insomnia rough. My breaking point came last Friday, when I was working from home and thankfully, my mom was home to keep me from a complete break down. She finally agreed that my job probably makes me more miserable than it's really worth. It's just always reassuring to get that kind of affirmation from your mom, you know?
So, this Saturday, I'm going to take the first part of the MTEL. It's just the first part, so I'll have more tests to take, and I'll have a certification to get at some point. But what it comes down to is that teaching is the job I've been missing for the better part of 10 years now, and I am ready to head back to it.
I know this isn't the most thrilling entry I've ever written, but that's what's up around these parts.

Oh, hello...
It's been a while, huh? I haven't had much to say lately. I've been in kind of a weird head space. It's not really worth getting into now, because I'm coming out of it. But the fact that I'm on vacation this week is definitely a blessing.
I never thought I could love vacations more than I already did, but I do. No, I don't sleep in like I used to (B gets up at 5:30-ish every day), and no I don't spend as much time partying it up on vacations as I used to, but I cherish my vacations in a way I never thought to before. Having consecutive days to hang with B is about the greatest thing ever. E had to work a couple days this week, but tomorrow, he joins the vacation train, and I'm so excited!
Today, B and I went to visit some friends who live near the beach where my family spent summers when I was growing up. It's about my favorite place in the world, and it was the coolest thing to be there with B. One of my friends said she'd love to have a group of people rent a house down there, and just the thought of that delighted me. To be in that place with my family AND my friends?! Whoa. Bliss overload.
Anyway. That's more or less what's on my mind tonight. It's not sexy, but it's my mind.
