At the end of the school year, it's common for teachers to feel burned out and "spent". That is how I felt today. After a full week of TAKS, the 3:40 pm bell rang and I sighed a deep sigh of exhaustion. The only problem was that I still had a full schedule ahead of me. I had a meeting with senior moms regarding prom, then home to check on my dad, and then on to the powder puff football game that was being sponsored by the seniors. I laid down for about 10 minutes and thought how I could get out of going to the powder puff game. After deep contemplation (10 minutes worth), I decided that I could not get out of it.
Well, as it turned out....it was an exquisite evening full of joy, laughter, and rejuvenation. Ain't that funny? The cool spring evening was perfect and it was pure bliss watching the students play flag football. It was equally hilarious joking around with the parents & students who came to watch!! We had a great turn out and made a lot of money for the senior class. I couldn't believe I had ever dreaded going!
