I've been back to work for almost two weeks now, hence the lack of interesting posts. I'm barely able to catch my breath as I try and get myself and the rest of the family into a routine. I'm back to drinking coffee on a regular basis (not good) and eating bad frozen burritos for lunch. School hasn't even started yet and I already looked ahead on my calendar to find the first holiday (Labor Day). So far I've ruined a child's life because I couldn't fit Journalism in their schedule. I've also ruined a future professional athlete's life (or so they say) because I couldn't move classes around so they can take their "easy" classes at the end of the day. I thought counseling was supposed to be fulfilling and meaningful?
I have to admit scheduling is the least enjoyable part of my job. It's part of the job so I do it, but as I get through these next few weeks dealing with all of this I'm trying my best to remain patient, seek the good in my lovable teenagers, and remember that for them....maybe Journalism is the most important thing in their lives right now.

Your last sentence captured it all- remember who, and what the world revolved around when we were that age :) Oh and I never remember my counselor doing our schedule...I think that was something we had to do OURSELVES!! You have more important fish to fry, like directing kids to better their lives, not work on their class schedule (although I guess the two could go hand in hand)... Here's to labor day!
