Three days, two hours, and sixteen minutes until the bell rings and break begins

Not that I'm counting down or anything.

Early last week, I decided I was going to wind down my work schedule.  Today is day 120 work days for the year, and of course I still have several scheduled in the last 22 (counting today) school days.  I was looking forward to a calmer pace to life.

Wednesday I was called into the office and asked if I could be in for a teacher until spring break.  It's American History, which would be my dream job if I ever had my own teaching career (which isn't going to happen).  It would require some rearranging of things, but I agreed to take on the assignment.  It turns out there is a chance it will turn into an assignment for the remaining of the year.  I offered to take it if that becomes necessary.  It would again take some rearranging, but it also made a lot of sense.  I know the kids and the school, and I have tons of support not only at home but throughout the department.  And I love American History!  Right now it is just this week though, and that is also fine.  I'm enjoying it, but it is definitely a lot of work even at this point of the year.

We are so looking forward to being off Friday and all of next week.  After we return there will only be 18 days to go!
