Not Pausing

So my word of the year was pause, to stop and take some time to pause. Well with back surgery Jakes brand new bionic foot, softball, Porter playing ball and going back to school. I don't think that I have had a second to pause. But I still have 1/2 the year to work on it. But this last week I made a decision that will make some major changes in out lives here in P-town. I have decided to return to work full time. Starting next year I will be back to work everyday. I am really excited about this and think it is what is best for the family right now. Keller still has one more year before kindergarten but the opportunity is there and I took it. 
I am really excited for it to come and what it will bring. But with it I will be teaching three new classes I have never taught before. With the new common core coming on it is going to be a lot preparation time. But I am game. I have been ready for summer to get here to slow things down a bit, but if seems like each day I add something new to calendar. I took this picture of my book stack.


These are all the books that I am planning on reading this summer so I am ready to go for school next year. I think that I better get in and get an appointment to help with the reading headaches. Left stack are books to be  better teacher and write are literature books in the classes that I am teaching that we will be using.  Well I am hoping to get through half of them since I am going to take a week long class in June along with the one night a week class that I all ready am taking. I hope that I survive. I am just hoping that I find the magically necklace that Hermone had in Harry Potter so she could duplicate herself and be in two places at one time.
