It was my first day back at work after a very nice Christmas break. I'm going to miss working at a school next year. Maybe I'll go back after that. I could always be a guidance counselor.

It was a good day. I missed the kids and my fellow teachers. I also missed Peter. My heart has been softened to the not so glamorous aspects of my jobs. Now I look forward to them. I made myself have an attitude check and I think this semester will be much better than last. I am tired though. I'm still not used to waking up early again. It's not even 10 yet and I'm already in bed. Pathetic.

One of the moms asked me before break if I wanted to babysit on Saturdays. Initially I fully intended on saying no. But I'm such a sucker, I can't say no to anything. So it looks like I'll be babysitting at least two Saturdays a month. I know a girl who was hoping to find a sitting job this semester, so maybe that will work out and it will all be moot. Oh well. It won't be so bad. And any extra money as a newlywed always helps. We want to save as much as possible in the next couple years for a house when we move back to Michigan (hopefully), for Matt's grad school, and for the little Ivesons!

I'm tired. Time for bed. If the weather is as bad as it's supposed to be, we may just have our first snow day tomorrow! I hope so. It'd be nice to have another bum day.

Goodnight.
