But goodness, I still have so much to do--everywhere I turn there's more STUFF! Argh.<br /><br />I'm definitely not going back to teaching in NYC! So much unnecessary BS. But I *might* consider it if we move somewhere else.Nacho Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11370735026568009605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516000.post-67909201693864827932011-10-18T07:13:38.433-07:002011-10-18T07:13:38.433-07:00Hi,

The fun and creativity are gone and now it's just jump as high as you can to get better test results even if it means not giving these kids a real education. Deserving teachers are no longer awarded tenure while experienced teachers are treated badly. No wonder teachers are not responding to you. Until this ridiculous tide changes, don't even think about going back!<br /><br />It's good you are finally letting go of the clutter. I recently did some purging too--with the help of an organizer--and now I find I am sleeping a bit better.<br /><br />Funny, as I was washing dishes last night, I started thinking about you. Your New Year's resolution from many years ago was about washing dishes every single night. Now my body automatically washes the dishes by 8pm!! It's like a little alarm goes off inside of me even if I am tired.<br /><br />Glad to see you are still baking and going away on long weekends :)<br /><br />Enjoy!Schoolgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02327692336247705060noreply@blogger.com
