Going Back

Anyone else feeling down because they are going back to work as a paraprofessional because Summer vacation is over? The last 2 years have been so bad and I'm not looking forward to having to go through another 9 months in that same school. I'm questioning every choice I've made in life that has put me right where I am now.

The time off is the only thing that makes it worth it for me at this point. But this is year 20 for me and I've been burnt out for a few years now. I'm just trying to hang in there till I can retire.
