My alarm fired off this morning at 5:00.
I opened my eyes and began mentally preparing for work.
Lesson plans.
Homework assignments.
Leveled texts.
Motivational strategies.
Then I suddenly realized that it was Sunday.
A day off.
And my alarm was going off because I was scheduled to play an early morning round of golf.
Even better!
And then I realized that it was June 26th.
Summer vacation.
No lesson plans, no homework assignments, no leveled texts and no motivational strategies for TWO MONTHS!
In those ten fleeting seconds,I experienced the greatest emotional swing of my life.
