I made a huge decision in December that I have kept relatively quiet until today. My supervisor let my department know that I am retiring after 34 wonderful years in education. I considered several things before I made my decision; including the fact that my district has a post-retirement option that will allow me to come right back for 8 weeks to cover for someone on maternity leave starting September 1. I figure it is a lot like being a grand parent; I get to still do what I love, but then give it back after a short time period. I really don’t want to work full time any more. I want to work in the yard in the mornings, run while it is still cool outside, and enjoy some free time.
I will miss all of you more than you know. I am sure I will still read all of your blogs, but mine will only be around for a short time. If you have a document or a post that you really refer to, please please repost on your blog. Thanks to you all!
