The end of break

Today is the last day of break.  While I always know it will come, I never like it.  And this year, I'll be honest, I am feeling especially sad about it.  With me working during the summers now, it could be another year before I get two full weeks off at a time.  And it may literally NEVER happen again that my two kiddos are both under our roof for three weeks.  I've treasured the moments and memories with my kids, and I've not taken them for granted.

While I am grateful for my job, I can't deny how much I truly, truly miss being a substitute teacher.  I know that sounds ridiculous, but I loved that job.  I recognized how wonderful that opportunity was, and didn't take that for granted either.  I appreciate the increased income from my new job, but money isn't everything.  

Overall, life is amazingly blessed, and I know that!
