What's new . . . work

Well, I feel like I have been neglecting my blog because I simply don't have anything to write about. My life has been work, work, and more work. It used to be on a bad day at was a work until 5:00. Now on a good day I get to leave by 5:30. I left today at 6:00. The amount of paperwork, testing, and day-to-day expectations for Plano is very overwhelming. I have had so many people ask my how I am enjoying my new job, and I feel like I have only been negative. I work really long hours, bring work home with me, and am feel like I am constantly stressed. So, with that being said, maybe I should list the things I am enjoying about my new job (in no particular order) :

1) my commute!
2) I love my teammates. I am getting the chance to work with people closer to my age and we really enjoy each other's company.
3) I have a great team leader who is very patient with my million questions a day.
4) My students are very sweet. They have been wonderful to me.
5) For the most part, I have had good interactions with supportive parents of my students.
6) I like working in the same district as my husband.
7) I am learning many new things.
8) I work at a really great school with great staff.
9) So far I have had students bring my cookies, brownies, and cheesecake!

So, now I will try to spend the rest of my evening looking on the "brighter side" of life! :)
