Dearest Blog,
I am negligent. This shall change.
Now that we have passed July 4th, it feels as though summer is on its downward slide. That's fine by me.
I have checked many things off of the to-do list left by my wife. I have enjoyed many evenings with friends and family refreshing and rejuvenating my soul. I have even taken time to do some curriculum work...not as much as I planned to, but there are still some weeks left until we return to our offices and classrooms.
When the end of July comes, I am always ready to get back and see the kids. Whether or not they are ready to see me is a different story. It is my hope that by the end of the semester, they have gained so much, been challenged so greatly, and found in me a teacher who they know cares about each of them that they don't want to leave. Unrealistic? Perhaps. I guess I will just have to make it reality.
Another reality that I will create is blogging more frequently. Three months of digital silence is too much for me.
