And so the countdown begins – I’m heading back to work in a few weeks.

Each year brings changes of some sort or another; this one isn’t an exception.

New kids, a couple new teachers, and two of my bestest friends will be my bosses.

Whoa! Hold the fort on that one – that’s going to be the strangest feeling of all.

My current principal is a good friend and has been since I began working there. Even though we hang out in the same group when we are all out and all that jazz – he’s been my “boss” and not really a best pal.

This year he’s swithing to part time and they are filling the gap with two assistant principals. Both of them are already on staff and hold the licensure needed to do this. Both of them are good friends – one of them is someone I talked to almost every day. We share secrets and our lives – we’ve done so for years.

I don’t see these friendships becoming strained, but it will be a mite different I think.

I’m looking forward to seeing how it all works out.

Peace
