Almost time to return to work/school

So, there are 11 days until school starts (not counting today, obviously) and I return to work. While I'm ready to go back, I'm not ready as in laundry needs to be done, I need to figure out what I can and can't wear anymore and I need to figure out outfits (making several outfits out of several different pieces of clothing) and maybe, hopefully being able to finally buy some more clothes to add to my wardrobe. My nails need to be filled and repolished and there's so much stuff that needs to be done, and there doesn't seem to be enough time to get it all done. Now, I'm not complaining by any means, but it has been a wonderful two months off and watching Carli growing and changing has been something that I have loved doing. One of the main reasons I want to be a teacher. Now, I know that being a teacher won't afford me much time off during the summer because I'll be busy doing curriculum planning and trying to get enough supplies for my classroom and finding out what students I'll get, etc. Granted, that's not going to happen for a few more years, but I am ahead of the game and getting it all figured out. Making friends with my fellow teachers (even though right now I'm an Instructional Assistant) is a good idea because I will be able to have them as professional references one day. I can also talk to them, learn from their mistakes and not being afraid to ask for guidance and direction when I'm not sure what do to or how to do it.
