Cruisin...

I've finally realized that each week ends by beginning a new week. Gee, what a revelation. This has been the best weekend in a very long time. I attended a fellow HSTE instructors wedding and the weather was absolutely gorgeous! It was really nice to experience a weekend without the pressure of work. My children really enjoyed the opportunity to spend family time together, considering last weekend I received a 15 minute lecture from a 9 year old and a 6 year old on the value of quality time. We had the opportunity to do sing-a longs in the car. As the evening progressed, the music began to play and my 6 year old son actually ask for my hand on the dance floor. Granted, my 9 year old daughter told me that I was embarrassing her as we danced along. Well, I have made it past the half-way point in the first semester and I am beginning to feel like I am cruising. I am still not on cruise control but I am beginning to feel more comfortable in my job/family balance. I probably should include a disclosure here--November 24th still has a special glimmer on my calendar and December 18th IS running a close second.
