I just got home last night from 4 amazingly exhausting and intellectually stimulating days at Harvard talking about charter schools.  I learned more than I thought possible and made some amazing connections in this really small community that is charter schools.  My brain is still buzzing with so much information that I can’t wait to begin to be able to process some of it.  I know that will take a few days.

It was so great to see my kids and husband when I arrived.   I missed them so much.  I am glad that I don’t travel a lot for work.  When I write that statement, I’m conflicted.  Not about how I feel, but about the statement itself.  Because in reality, I do travel quite a bit for work.  I will continue to travel more for work.  I leave again in 3 weeks for a 3 day trip for work.  I will travel at least 6 days a month with my new job–two night away every other week (more than likely).  I love it, because it keeps my job interesting.  I hate it, because I miss my family and we are such a unit that it is hard when one of us is gone.

But I am home now and my to do list is quickly filling up.  Quickly.
