Twas the Night Before the New School Year

As much as I love my job, I am not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. Once this school year starts, I have my full-time job, graduate school classes, my internship, my family and you know... my Kindle... So much to do, so little time to do it because losing sleep is not an option, nor is giving up reading time. My Kindle is an attachment. The only reason my phone would take 1st place in my technology life is because it has the Kindle App. If not, my Kindle would be my #1.
My oldest son is starting college next month. WHAT???? My youngest is starting his Junior year in high school. What a crazy year ahead of us.
I just finished Colleen Hoover's book, It Ends With Us, and I'm feeling out of sorts. Feeling out of sorts because of a FICTIONAL story is ridiculous. I know this. So let's recap...
I start back to work tomorrow
I have graduate school classes
I have a graduate school internship
My oldest is going to College
My youngest is a junior
I am ridiculously affected by fictional novels
.................................
Yah. I need to get a grip on reality. FOCUS, Shanna!!!!!
I've got this. I love my job. I am good at my job. I am excited to see my coworkers. I love the students, for the most part. My graduate program will be OVER in June. I will have a Master's Degree in Education, School Counseling. I am going to be an AMAZING school counselor. My boys will do great in school and life. I love my husband and he loves me. I have totally got this!!!!! Bring it 2016-17 School year!!!!!

3 Realizations Made Just This Morning

#1... Listening to Bossypants by Tina Fey, on my ipod, makes running on the treadmill even more difficult, as the bursts of laughter really mess up the breathing technique that I work very hard to maintain. 

#2... Employees of school districts must never leave, because they only hire from within. Therefore, the employees must just be playing musical jobs...FOREVER!!

#3... Sarah Young truly did write Jesus Calling just for me, because it speaks to me EVERY time that I read an entry. Today's definitely did reprimand me for my sulky and pathetic behavior yesterday... (see #2.)
