Christmas time's a'coming and I know I'm going home

Opening with a sidebar: It's surprisingly difficult to find the lyrics to Raffi's Christmas album online. Especially given that I know the original LP has the lyrics on it.

A week from right now, I should be home. *Smiles* I tell my students that I have my home where I went to college and my home where my parents are (only, I just refer to them by the different states). I haven't been to the latter since moving out here in August. This is my first Advent away from family and I can tell I'm homesick. But one week. (4 days of school.) My cell phone's working again, so that should cut down on the bahness. I hope.

Since my last post, I've continued with the downs and ups. I really need to get better at separating myself from my job. I need to be able to cut down on my prep time so that I can maintain sanity. But it's hard when you don't have a good textbook. Or when you want worksheets to look right. And when I don't have pretty teacher handwriting. By next year this should be easier, right?
