Lest we Forget
I once heard that after you give birth, there is an endorphins released in your body to help you forget the pain so you will do it again. I have come to realize that the same type of endorphins is release into the body during the month of May for teachers. It helps them forget the trauma of teaching, but then the first day of school hits and every teacher wonders, why did sign up for another year?

I have to agree with you that there's something going on that makes us forget! I think our Heavenly Father helps us forget so we will go on and do these hard things because in the end it's truly worth it. I am so amazed at all you have to do as a teacher Barbs. You have to put up with an awful lot! I'm praying for you and all the teachers I know because I realize it's a VERY tough job.
I have to say that I must have been jipped on the endorphins because I haven't forgotten how terrible child birth is. The only reason I'm having another one is because I like my first child and hope to get another great child. Honestly, I'm just praying that the epidural kicks in this time so I don't have to go through torture again! But I understand what you're saying about teaching. I think we remember the good memories and think we can avoid the negative. Plus, I think teachers keep teaching because they want to make a difference in some child's life; especially those struggling troublemakers!
