Hello. It is now October. The pumpkins are out in front at Vons, and they cost $6 or $7 each. Oddly enough, the organic ones at Whole Foods yesterday cost .69 cents each. Was that a trick of my eye?
We don't really do Halloween at my school because classes are out the last two days of the month so we can have parent/teacher conferences. One teacher has a light-up pumpkin in his room, but other than that we are not at all big on seasonal decorations.
I loved that kind of thing when I was a kid. I wonder if our middle school students miss the visual treats...?
There are times when I feel like I am too old to be teaching. Mostly because of the lack of energy I feel. I love being with the students and being in class, but at night I am so wiped out... I want to crawl into bed by 9 p.m. every night and crash. And that's usually the time I have set aside for correcting papers and writing comments.
Big sigh. How are the rest of you teachers doing out there?

That light fixture is now gone, sadly.
