I've been reading quite a few Facebook posts from friends who have college-aged children. Most of them are bemoaning the quietness of their homes now that those children have gone back to school. I understand that loss, but it rather amuses me that I, on the other hand, am somewhat bemoaning the fact that tomorrow, I will be getting up early to face a not-so-quiet classroom full of children who have left their homes today to come back to school (I work at a boarding school).
While the quietness of my classroom beckons at the moment, I will be ready to exchange it somewhere around 10 tomorrow. While I've enjoyed the break--longer than I usually have at this time by a few days thanks to the calendar--I am ready to get back to the regular routine (although it's anything
but routine!). What is an empty nest for some will become a full nest for me. I look forward to it!
