After six months of not teaching, tomorrow brings my first day back at the high school I work at. But this time, as a relief teacher. I feel somewhat sanguine about this prospect. I can leave at 3pm, I do not have to follow up on behaviour issues, no parent meetings, no late night PL. I will reiki all my shi* classes, and reiki all the good ones too.
I am going to make the best of this shift in my work, a combination of my beloved childcare and relief teaching. I am going to make it work for me and my family in the best way I can. The knowing that I can walk away, no strings attached, is a bonus.
Let's see what I feel like tomorrow night.
Today, a family day. A trip to town, a chicken dinner, a walk in the Gorge, a play in the park, over the swing bridge, a hot drink before we go home...a new kettle and tea set....life is great.
