Only 5 more weeks ....

I just have the hardest time believing there are only 5 more weeks left before I start back at work.  I love teaching and I love, love, love the beginning of the school year.  It's the best feeling to be back in the building with the friends you love teaching with but haven't seen all summer.  I love putting my room together and I love getting ideas and putting them to life for my kiddos.  However, I can't express how much I will miss my own three babies.  It has been a lazy summer filled with swimming and friends and cookouts and lemonade stands.  We've been to the beach and the pool and the library and camps. I am going to miss them terribly and with the start of school comes athletics and sports and we are on the go again.  Why can't I have the best of both worlds???  Maybe I do?
