It's that time again!

School starts Tuesday.!.! I have periods and exclamation points because I'm not sure of the feelings behind that statement. I am exited. I love my new school and my 3rd grade team. I'm excited to meet my students and I LOVE school. But the end of summer is always bitter sweet. No more lazing, no more staying up late, no more sleeping in. Time for long days, short nights, and being busy, busy, busy. And I think this year might be the busiest of them all. My plan is to take it slow and ease in. It is my first year at a new school and a new grade. However. This school and district is sooo different from what I'm used to. In a good way! But I do think I'm going to be working harder here than I ever have before. Which I think will be a challenge but also very professionally satisfying.

In a health update I've been feeling really good the past few days. Brian and I went out to Clinton lake yesterday and kayaked. It was a lot of fun! The weather was gorgeous and the water felt wonderful. We camped out there last night too. My parents and my sister came out and we boated a little. Then Brian's folks came out and we met up at the campsite. It was the first time our families had met and I think it went really well! We made a brisket and a blueberry pie in the dutch oven. Our families brought sides and we had a nice little picnic. Then today I went out to the pool with my family. It was awesome because I got to spend time with my little Cam Bam! And through all of this I have had next to no anxiety and very few worrisome thoughts. I haven't been really experiencing the dizziness from the Lexapro like I did before. Maybe I won't get the side effects this time. That would be great. I think going back on the Lexapro was a good choice. I think it's just what I need right now. We'll see how I'm doing in a few months and try going off again.

Tomorrow is Back to School night. The kids will be coming in with all of their supplies. It's early to bed for me! I have til 4 tomorrow to get everything ready. Wish me luck!
