"It's the Final Countdown...brda...brr....rrr"

The end of the school year and the thought of being a stay at home mommy has been setting in as a reality more and more lately...and I am LOVING it! It is kind of weird and I have not fully grasped it, but I am getting there. Already there have been so many things at school that I am not required to do because I won't be here next year. Tomorrow there is a prospective parent coming in to observe the K teachers to see who she would like for her child...yes parents here put in requests, but I am being bypassed because I am pregnant and won't be here next year. NO PRESSURE for me!!!!! I love it!

This school year has flown by, as every one of them does. Part of me is sad because I love teaching and this has been my home for the past 4 years, but more than sad I am elated! Elated to start a new chapter (18 year chapter) in my life. Ready to hold that sweet baby in my arms and kiss their little baby lips (I am obsessed with baby lips...they are so perfect!). But most of all, doing what I do now for my own child. I have treasured each one of my students and loved them, taught them, encouraged them, disciplined them etc, but soon I will get to do that with my own rather than 17 that belong to someone else. Oh...the thought thrills me! Only 45 actual school days left! Let the countdown begin!!!!!!
