You know, it's so wonderful to be loved! I pulled up in the driveway of my students' house this morning after having been gone for over a month, as Christmas break and my "personal vacation" time had run into each other. I wasn't exactly excited about diving back into the daily routine of teaching, and honestly, I was somewhat dreading this moment.
As soon as I was out of the car, the front door was flung open, and a wave of excited children and dogs came running out to welcome me back to work. A barrage of questions immediately flooded my ears, and the next few minutes were spent frantically trying to catch up on all the news of late. "The house was on the market, look at the new bow and arrows, see the new wood floors, lets play the new Xbox game as soon as school is done, etc etc". But soon, the books were pulled out, and we switched back into school mode.
I then asked them, "So, kids, did you miss me?" They stopped their work, looked at me with "are you kidding?" looks, and said "Ha! YES!!!!"
Ah shucks....
