Go To My Happy Place

Starting a new school year is like going from 0 to 60 in five seconds flat. One minute you're home doing your thing, and the next, you're ripping kids from the ceiling. During this time of the year, I always feel overwhelmed, dazed, confused, and frustrated. Every teacher has a way to cope. Mine is to think of other things--happy things--things that aren't terrorizing my mind. Here's a few:
1. That beach in Acadia State Park that rattles when the waves come in.
2. Retirement
3. Snow days
4. Disney World
5. Pomegranate Jelly Belly jelly beans
6. Being a Walmart Greeter
7. tea
I need to get a longer list.
