After taking a five year leave of absence, I returned to teaching full time this fall. My children are all in school full time now so back to the daily 9 to 5, or in my case 7:30 to 3:30. The adjustment went fairly smoothly and I really enjoy my job. The problem is - when do I buy groceries? Get my hair cut? Go to the dentist? The doctor? Have coffee with my girlfriends? When did I do all those things when I worked before? I know I did it, but just haven't gotten back into a rhythm of fitting everything in around my work schedule.
Instead of getting my haircut every six weeks, it's eleven weeks. I got my son's hair cut the day before school started in September and it hasn't been cut since. It's pretty shaggy but hasn't taken on a Wookie appearance yet. Although, knowing my son, he'd like looking like a Wookie. My girls have long hair anyway so can go longer between haircuts. I cut my husband's hair so he's always looking sharp. He's offered to return the favor but so far I've passed.
