I've got a disease.


It's called New Teachers Syndrome. The symptoms are gas (yes, gas), fever, fatigue, crying, grader's cramp, short temper, crying,lack of sleep, crying, vomiting, and crying. So if you see a new teacher and are wondering why his /her eyes red, don't say anything; just give him/her a kleenex and give him/her a hug. The only known cure for NTS is waiting out the year, looking back at it, and laughing at what wasn't so funny nine months ago.

Other than that, though, life is swell. Really.

Are you sure you're not pregnant?

How long does NTS typically last?

Good luck with the first year, congrats on choosing a great profession. Your other half hasn't updated his blog in a while, just an FYI. Figured I'd stop by and comment as I drove through your neck of the woods on the way to New Orleans this past weekend. Y'all take care,
