Slice of Life August 3, 2010
The air is cool, matching the feeling I have of summer winding to a close. Of course I know it's not over yet, it just feels like it. Next week is our annual vacation to Cape Cod. Once we return I only have about a week and a half before starting back to school. I find myself torn between wanting the warm weather and freedom of summer to continue and missing my students and the routine and challenges of the school year.

Hi Natalee,
ReplyDeleteOne of the nice things about retirement is not having those sad feelings when August begins, but then I don't have the excitement about the coming of a new school year anymore. Oh well, you can't have it all.

I am far from finished with summer! I haven't yet started to miss the classroom. Good thing I still have 4 weeks to go.
ReplyDeleteI too have 4 more weeks, but I know the feeling you mention. The laid back, sweetness of summer that we try to hang on to while the anticipation of a new school year starts to creep in. Lucky for me I love both times of the year! A week at the beach sounds like the perfect way to end the summer. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWe go back Friday. Hoping you have a great vacation and a great back to school time!
ReplyDeleteoooo I'm not missing the routines yet. My mind is busy with dreaming about the upcoming year but I'm not ready to meet the little faces that go with those dreams - yet. One more month, maybe...
ReplyDeleteNauset Beach on Cape Cod... now that's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip!
I so agree! I just started having that feeling this week, that it's okay to get ready to get back to school, after our Cape vacation of course! Enjoy your vacation; may our weeks both be blessed with sunshine and relaxing times...
