Today was the first day of school for most people in Seattle. People keep asking me how I feel about not teaching this year and if I think I will miss it.
My answer: I don't miss it at all and feel no yearning to go back. But ask me again in a few months when I have a newborn and a toddler to deal with and am sleep deprived, when the weather is getting bad and the days dark. I may feel differently.
But for now I get to take Leana on a fun new adventure every day, and with some of the best weather of the summer happening this week, I'm even more grateful for not having to think about teaching, grading, planning, etc. (Sorry teacher friends, not trying to rub it in or anything. It is still hard work dealing with my very active and stubbornly determined little lady every day!)
Today's Adventure: "Spray Park" in Ballard
brilliant day!
