Today is my first official day of my RETIREMENT. Everyone keeps asking me how I feel, and honestly, I don't know! I know it won't hit me until the end of July when all my teacher-friends go back to work and my kids go back to school and I...don't! Until then, it feels like every other summer for the last twenty-eight years, when I get to turn off my teaching brain, sleep in, clean the house, and spend some time with my family and friends. I have so many plans for my photography business, which I will be ironing out and announcing in the near future, but until then, I am going to enjoy this feeling of ahhhhhhh!!!
