Floating or tredding water?
I've realized that each day can vary tremendously in my feelings about teaching. One day it is as if I'm floating... the kids are lighting up that little light in my head which tells me why I chose this profession and everything just feels right. Then, there are the days where I feel that I am barely tredding water, where I feel like there is a whole army of 5-year-olds in need of my immediate attention, hours of planning for ONE day, and meetings that make me feel like I am way in over my head and that teachers must be superheroes. I am thankful for those floating days and weekends. At least I'm not drowning... yet! :0)

In surfing, some days the waves are just right and you could ride everything to the beach but on others you just can't get a ride. Either there is no wind and the waves are flat or there is a big storm off shore and your too scared to go out to try the big ones. The fun comes from not knowing what to expect each day and working with what comes along.
