Fall Highlights from Mrs. Hornung!

They say if you want to get something done, ask a busy person. In July, I decided to get married and start a new job in the same season. There were a few times along the way that I thought “WHAT was I thinking?!”, but to be perfectly honest I would not have done it any other way. I have a history of overworking myself at school and that’s what I was mainly worried about in August. I wondered how could I be an overworked teacher AND an overworked bride? The answer was, I couldn’t be either and what a blessing it truly was. Planning a wedding during the same time that I was opening up a new classroom turned out to be the BEST way to balance it all, because I simply did not have a choice. I couldn’t stay at school until 9pm being a perfectionist and I couldn’t stay home all day being a bridezilla. I had to just do what I could in each area of my life and be done with it.

There are, of course, some things that I couldn’t balance. I couldn’t balance exercising. I couldn’t balance blogging. I couldn’t balance regular get-togethers with my girlfriends. I couldn’t balance my one night a week of waitressing. But those were all things that would still be there when my wedding was over and my classroom was settled. So here I am married with a settled classroom, and as I expected, those things are all here waiting for me to return to them!

Before I dive in to the rest of the school year with my little love bugs, let me give you a highlight reel from our September-December. I have a truly great group of kids and I fall more in love with their little personalities and hearts every day. They are so sweet, so loving and so FUNNY!!! They bring me to tears at least once a week in laughter.
