Tomorrow I return to the wonderful chaos of my classroom filled with students. Yes. I was called back last week. I love my job and am filled with excitement for what's to come. It is a bit like that last week of pregnancy when you haven't met your baby yet and wonder what he or she will be like. I can't wait to meet my new kids, all 130 of them.
But getting back to today. I sit and write across the table from my littlest while he pages through a school calender admiring the selection of student artwork chosen for this upcoming school year. My oldest still lies in bed at 10:24, enjoying this last chance to catch extra hours of sleep. Tomorrow she will be eating lunch already at this time.
Today is a day to celebrate my kiddos and bring a close to the vacation called summer while empowering them to anticipate all the amazing opportunities on their way at school this year. It's a day to be a family, for me to be their mom.
By the end of this school year I will have a teenager going into her last year of middle school and a 10 year old heading into fifth grade. Each day matters as a parent. And I am Laney and Josh's mom everyday. Today is a celebration of that. Tomorrow our family multiplies once again.
Well said Sis! Keep writing, your very good at it!
