I can’t believe it.

I may be speaking too soon. But I think I’m getting my life back.

No more cramming endless papers. No more stressful, draining days with nothing more to give.

I feel, dare I say it, REFRESHED.

I could quite possibly be headed down the giant mountain that has been my life since last November. I passed both my Praxis tests, on the first try, with pretty darn good scores, if I do say so. My lesson plans are becoming more sophisticated, yet age appropriate.

Wow.

 I’m just gonna take this moment and ever so gently…

PAT MYSELF ON THE BACK.

Now for losing the 30 pounds I gained, stop drinking, abusing Diet Coke, consoling myself with Papa Murphy pizza, playing The Sims 3 like a gambling addict, start cleaning my house, do my mounds of laundry and exercise.

Hmmm.

Suddenly, I don’t feel quiet as free and frisky.
