Being on break feels a lot like this:
Thanks to Archie for portraying it so well.
It's Good Knowing You. Is it Friday, Yet? See Ya In The Future. Living the dream. Whatev. Live. Laugh. Love. Plant Smiles. Grow Laughs. Harvest Love. You Can Take The Girl Out Of Wisconsin But You Can't Take The Wisconsin Out Of The Girl. Glimpses. Love Generously. Praise Loudly. Live Fully.
Teaching is the only profession that you have to make a detailed plan for somebody else to do your job. I also think it is the only job where you can be dictated which days you cannot miss. The two days before or after any break are such days. I felt horrible but didn’t stay home. I could have stayed home sick, you just can’t take off for fun. I also didn’t want to make a sub plan. It is often more work than worth it.
I was exhausted at the end of the day. I was also glad for an hour to nap with my new fancy blanket. I have really nice friends.
