Last day of summer break

Today is officially the last day of our summer break and my maternity leave for that matter. I officially report back tomorrow morning at our district breakfast. I am experiencing a whole range of emotions about returning to work (and after I began typing this realized it very closely resembled my friend Tiffany's back to school post! so I am crediting her for helping me. :) ) When I think of actually having to fix my hair, do my makeup, and look like a presentable person each day, that kind of makes me excited! I am tired already just thinking of how early I have to get up to make myself presentable, but such is life. When I think about not being with my kids all day that makes my heart hurt and I want to cry! I am going to miss them so much, even though there are days that I can't wait to get back to work! :) BUT I know they will have a wonderful time at Miss Amanda's, our daycare provider, and that is a huge relief. And I know that I will enjoy having a job that is in addition to Mommy and another little person's constant food source (and I mean that in the most loving way possible :) ). I will thrive on the adult interaction and I will enjoy (and procastinate) teaching and planning. I am also really nervous about everything I need to do to my room to prepare for the little people entering it next Monday.

I also know that this school year will fly by--and why wouldn't it? (Everything else is and has!) The last year of my life feels like a blur, but that could be because of the events that took place as well. I am excited about what this school year has in store; to watch the kids change and grow so much in those nine months. May will be here before I know it!
