Less than 10 days until Labor Day weekend, and I am basically living for it right now.
DH started his new job two weeks ago and is exhausted transitioning into the schedule. He went from the sweet life of dissertating (okay, maybe not that "sweet" -- he worked his ass off on that paper, but at least he did so at his own pacing) to teaching high school with 5 preps/ day. Teaching high school was never his heart's deepest desire to begin with, but it was the practical job after his dissertation since it offered decent pay and benefits and he had experience teaching at the college level. He has been feeling the first year teacher blues big time right now. Having gone through that before myself, I sympathize but also am encouraging him to just hang in there.
I started classes last week and am already slammed with work. You know those joke Venn diagrams where the two pie charts never overlap? If one was labeled "Be a supportive wife" and the other was "Be a good student", that's basically how I feel right now. Trying to be both these things at once is driving me nuts right now.
We're getting out of Dodge for Sunday/Monday to go see DH's favorite baseball team and just enjoy the hotel's Happy Hour and indoor pool. I cannot wait.
Anybody else?
