There was a song called "Arms of Orion". Escapes me who sings it (though I'm sure I could Google it and figure it out). As I started thinking of Blog titles, a line from the song came to my head...something about searching in the Sea of Tranquility. I think it's because my life, at this point, is nothing near tranquil.

I bet it's hard to get back into the groove after having the summer off. I have a friend who is a kindergarten teacher and she goes through this every fall too. I'm sure having a new job adds to the stress as well. Hang in there, you'll hit your stride soon!
Arms of Orion is sung by Prince on the Batman movie soundtrack.
P.S. I know how you feel. ;)
Suck it up! You probably have a week off for fall break, Thanksgiving and two weeks for Christmas which is right around the corner! Imagine having to deal with that craziness ALL YEAR LONG except weekends of course. But hey, I will have a drink with ya!!!
