So, many of you know I just went back to work on Monday morning. It was a bittersweet moment for me because as much as I love teaching I hated leaving my kids. And someday I hope to put teaching on hold for awhile and just be at home. But, until then I am glad to say that I do not dread getting up in the morning and spending my day with 22 little people. Each and every one of them is such a blessing to me and I'm so grateful that I got the class that I have this year. When I returned Monday morning there were plenty of hugs and smiles going around and as my heart ached for my own children I felt blessed that God had given me 22 more that I was now responsible for once again - and they had missed me!! It was a good feeling.
The week whizzed by and now I feel like I'm back in my old routine again. My kids were in the wonderful hands of my long-term sub and church friend Ruth Pridgen and my class absolutely adored her. She was so amazing and I was able to pick up right where she left off without any setbacks.
Even though I'm enjoying my class right now I'm excited to go back after Christmas and only work 3 days a week, especially since I've exhausted all my sick days during maternity leave. And what do you know - the first day back to school I come home with a sore throat and am still trying to fight a cold. It figures!!
All in all however it was a good first week back and I trusted that Addie and Rhett were in good hands. Thanks again to my mother-in-law, Barbie, my mom and Kristen for shuffling the kids around your busy schedules. I felt really good going to work knowing that my kids were in a loving and safe environment.
Thanks for all of you that were praying for me and my first week back. Love you all!!
