So kind of a lot has happened.


Whew!  It's been a whole since I posted. I was going to sit down and post some pictures last week when I got an unexpected call.  I had interviewed at a school in May and didn't get the job.  On Tuesday of last week, I got a call to interview for a fourth grade teaching position at the school where I had already interviewed.  I really didn't think I would get the job.  But, knowing that I might, made me cherish the time I had with my kids.

Thursday evening we went and visited a daycare just to make sure we were covered.  This whole time I was still really panicky about going back to work on such short notice! 

I didn't hear anything on Friday which is when I thought I would hear so I assumed I didn't get the job.  I felt relief knowing I didn't have to make big changes this year and was going to really focus on my gratitude for the extra time with my kids.  

I was absolutely shocked this morning when I got a call and a job offer!!!  I cried a lot, talked to a lot of people, cried and prayed some more, and then decided.  

I'M GOING BACK TO WORK!

I'm trying not to let my current feelings scare me.  Right now, I'm terrified and I don't want to leave my kids!  I have to keep reminding myself that I still get to be their mom! 

So the next few days (and weeks and months) are going to be insane.  I start new teacher meetings on Thursday!  I have two days to get my classroom ready.  I usually spend 2 weeks! 

It might be a bit quiet around here for a bit as we all adjust but I'll do my best!  Please be praying for everyone.  Especially for Jackson and Charley as they get comfortable with a new school.
I'm gonna miss her sweet face every hour of every day!
