The Last Day

Wow, I can't believe how over excited I am that today is my last day of working at Sunset Elementary. Okay, I will miss my friends and co-workers but I am just ready to be done at the same time.

Although it does hit me that Little Miss Nelson could make her arrival any day, any time, any place. But, I think I am becoming more and more ready for that. Mainly because I am sick of being pregnant and the giant bowling ball that is weighing down on my bladder constantly.

There are several kids I will miss not seeing and the little Kindergartners who hug you every time they see you. They are very sweet kids but sometimes very hard to manage. I am hoping that the lady I train today to take over my job for the rest of the year doesn't mind kids because today is just younger grades.

I have been so lucky to have an awesome principal who I have been able to joke with, laugh with and talk to for the last 2 years. I hope one day he will admit that he is retiring soon but I know their will be some in the building who will miss him greatly.

For awhile I wasn't sure if I would quit working at the school or if I would try and go back in a few months. It finally hit me one afternoon that it wasn't something I had to do, needed to do or want to do. Once I convinced myself that it was okay to stay home then I was ready to leave the school that day.

I have been use to not being home in fact, Kelly and I joke about how we are never home hardly because of our crazy lives. I guess I felt like if I said I was going to stay at home that I was never going to be able to leave the house. Which probably is true for the first while but once I had told my family that I had told my administration I was quitting my family was relieved and somewhat estatic. My sister even said, "Yes now we can play and do mom things"... well then a few weeks later she reminded me its just mom things.

I will miss being away from my dance girl when the time comes that Little Miss Nelson is finally here. But I am eager to see what they have learned and worked on when I get back to seeing them.
They are all excited about having a little baby in the dance family and I am excited for them as well. Although, it will be quite awhile before she will be around all of them. Little Miss Nelson doesn't know it yet but she has 42 big sisters who are awaiting her arrival rather impatiently.

So here's to what ever happens in the next week and a half and to being a stay at home mom.

I couldn't be more nervous, anxious, excited, stressed and worried.
eek..

They even send a letter informing me that I quit! Made me giggle!
