Tomorrow is the day. Tomorrow I go back to work for another school year. Part of me is happy, and part of me not so much.

I like the “freedom” of not working, but the pay sucks, and I have no kids at home, so no “legitimate” reason to stay home. I turn into a real procrastinator when I don’t work, because I feel like I have “so much time!” (although this summer I stayed productive for the majority of it). I turn into a real hermit when I’m off for a long time, and tend to not leave my house for much. I hope Nick and Tony haven’t regressed too much! I’m sad cause Doreen and Amy won’t be coming back with me. I don’t like that I’ll have to wear shoes and a bra again all day!
I like the routine of working. I like getting up at 5:15 am, working out, eating breakfast, showering, reading blogs and email over coffee, getting dressed, and leaving the house at 8:00 am for work. See how much I have done by 8:00 am when I work??? I get up by 7:00 even when I don’t work, and it takes me until 11:00 to accomplish that little bit, because I know it CAN! I like getting out and about and around other people. Laughing and having some fun at work. It will be great to see Nick and Tony and the kids again! I’ll be glad to get more dressed up than I have been this summer wearing my horrid painting clothes for the most part. I need the pay cheque after 2 months of no wage, and 2 kids to put through college! *eeks*

So as you see there are both good and bad things about going back to work. Bottom line is….Duty calls!
