A real dry spell

I can't believe its been so long since I've posted. Things have been crazy busy with summer school ending, my visit to Alaska, Herman coming home, and me starting to teach high school.

Have I mentioned that yet? I'm a high school English teacher now. It's crazy, it's chaotic, and it's a HUGE change. I'm loving seeing my kiddos from last year roaming the hallways and visiting me, and I'm liking teaching most of my classes. I'm just lonely - its been hard to connect with people, and I'm hoping that things get better. Tomorrow, grades are due, and the first 6 weeks will be officially over.

I'm back in school, taking a grad class at PSU, and that, in addition to the new job, is killing me. I'm constantly stressed out, overwhelmed, tired, and irritable. Poor Herman doesn't quite know what to make of me.

Speaking of Herman, he returned 6 weeks ago, and was able to return to the job he had before he left. That just recently ended though, as the contract expired, but it was nice to have some form of income coming in right as he came back. He has enrolled in school himself, and starts this weekend.

More to come, when I'm not so tired....
