Feeling Old

Making coffee by 5:00 AM and putting together last minute lesson ideas and letters home to parents. Limping down the hallways on a sore foot asking rosy cheeked little people to "please walk." Ready for a nap at 10:00 AM. Making two trips in a row to the office because I forgot what I went down there for in the first place. Forgetting my spoon at home, and tipping my head as far back as I can to gulp down my yogurt before retrieving the little ones for inside recess. Reading my book at the gym. Having a cup of tea before my eyelids start drooping at 9:00 pm. Laying down and realizing how sore and tired my body is.

It is totally worth it for the joy it brings, but man it makes me feel old.
