hankering to hammer

 

I've been hankering to hammer away at these keys again! Like usual, it's been too long.

First I'm gonna whine a little to get it outa my system!!

I'm exhausted and homesick.

Crazy how you can just be so lonely to putter around in your own home.

The weekend is coming though!

And I want to make the above pictured carameliciousness.

But, at even though I long for an extra Saturday every weekend, {or a 4 long days school week?!}

I. LOVE. MY. JOB.

It hit me again today as I was walking down the hall with one of my students to get some salve for his elbow that he had carpet burned in an indoor tug-of-war gone wrong.

I love to teach, to learn along with the kids, to be a part of something bigger.

WHCS holds so many amazing memories for me....

Starting out, a scared lil 6 year old with spindly braids...

Being injected with inspiration from the one who still inspires me today... {Thanks, Mrs. Peaster!!}

Working as an aide after graduating...being on the other side was exhilarating!

Substituting...

My first classroom....

Quivers of doubt...

New skills...

-Hiatus-

Back again!

New room, new kids, new co-teachers,

SAME PASSION.

I am blessed.
