Why I Like Retirement

Here are some reasons why retirement after being a schoolteacher for 27 years is so fabulous:

1.  I can go grocery shopping on any school morning.

2.  I can go to the restroom any time I want; no more waiting for the bell to ring or lunch to start.

3.  I can sleep in; no alarm clock needed anymore.

4.  I can go on a long vacation any time; no more waiting for those summer months to roll around.

5.  I can do the wash whenever I feel like it; no more planning ahead for clean clothes on Monday morning.

6.  I can go out to lunch with a friend or grandchild (good suggestion, Kyra) any day and any time of the week.

7.  I can use my eyes to read a good book or watch a favorite TV show; no more straining my eyes to grade papers.

8.  I can go to the doctor or dentist on any school morning; no more waiting for afternoon appointments.

9.  I can get a cold glass of water any time; no more drinking room temperature water from a bottle off my desk.

10. I can stay in my pajamas all day if I am working on a project at home.

I HAVE CERTAINLY DISCOVERED THAT RETIREMENT HAS ITS BENEFITS!
