When do you all return to work, or has the school year started already? How are you feeling about things?

Our school year starts tomorrow with a week of professional development and meetings. I'm already feeling the Sunday blues! Also, my daughter will start a daycare for the first time and I'm anxious about it. When I returned to work in the spring, she went to a babysitter's home and was very well loved as the only child. I know she'll get to that same spot with the small in-home daycare, but it's going to be an adjustment for us both.

I am excited about my assignment this year: I teach K-5 ESOL and will be working in three different schools for 60% of the work week. I think I can set things up to work Tuesday-Thursday, but it's a big puzzle that takes some tinkering!
