Anybody who knows me — even just a little bit — knows that I’m having a hard time retiring.
After leaving the school district in June 2021, I decided I would sub for one, maybe two days a week. That turned into three or four some weeks, pretty much all year long. It’s gotten so people don’t ask me how I’m keeping busy, but, “So how much are you going to work THIS year?”
So it should be no surprise that just two days into the new school year, I had to stop by to visit the two schools where I spent the last five years of my teaching assistant career, Plank North and Schlegel Rd. elementary schools. I told myself that I wanted to meet the new librarian at Plank North and the new library teaching assistant at Schlegel Rd.
But we all know the REAL reason I made those visits.
I really wanted to see all those smiling, happy little faces again, walking through the halls with that first-week-of-school bounce in their steps.
It was especialy touching to see many of those happy little faces wave excitedly and call out my name as they walked past. It really reminded me how much I loved being there.
But not putting my feet on the floor until 7:30 every morning? I gotta say … I love that more.
