I was thinking today, good GOD, what is your problem with your blog writing the last week or so? You've been at this "Write Every Day" gig for over 6 months, why is it suddenly so hard? Well, I came to the conclusion that perhaps it is because I picked up the habit in March, when life is as busy as usual, but school/work is predictable, has its patterns, and is a managable beast. In contrast, this week was the first week of school. The beginning of the school year is SO intense and SO exhausting, I don't even have an ounce of energy left when I get home, let alone the wherewithall to be insightful or witty. It is such a great time too, as I feel like I am doing really good teaching, and getting the kids to "eat out of my hand," all of which pay off greatly in the long run, but boy oh boy does the whole thing wipe me out!

Onwards to Friday, and then, the first blessed WEEKEND!
