"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

Um. Okay? I have never truly understood that line, although it is one of my favorite poems from Lewis Carroll. What I DO understand is the inevitable washing in of the changing tide.
BACK.TO.HOMESCHOOL.
Officially, I have been prayerfully planning the school year throughout the summer. Unofficially, I have only made true headway in the last couple of weeks. This pressing of my time and efforts can result in making me a less-than-enjoyable mommy.
Prayer is the best way to avoid a fear-based, panicked mommy. Reading God's Word. Check.
Sometimes I just need to have a cup of tea and check-out. I hope that you will allow yourself a simple moment of luxury, like this before hitting the books again. Note: I said hitting the books, not hitting with books.

These are some great inspirational movies for the educator preparing for going back into the trenches that I recommend:
- The Miracle Worker (1962)
- To Sir, With Love (1967)
- Lean on Me
- Dead Poet's Society
- The Great Debaters
- Amazing Grace (Not actually a teacher movie, but I love the mentor and student relationship between Newton and Wilberforce.)
- Invictus (Again, not technically a teacher movie, but more evidence that you can learn from anyone.)
- October Sky
- Remember The Titans
- Stand and Deliver (an absolute Joyfuls Socks favorite)
- Facing The Giants
