21st Century School Teacher

Yes, that's right, I'm leaving my precious little baby behind for a trip back to my old stomping grounds.  It was super hard for me as another school year began, so a trip home to my old school is just what I need!  I'm going to take a few days to catch up on new gossip amongst my peers and visit with the little critters I've taught in previous years...(well, I guess those middle schoolers aren't so little anymore...). 

I'm already wondering how I'm going to do without my little Katie with me--I've never been away from her for 5 days.  Thank goodness Grandma and Papa (G & P) are in town to stay with Katie and daddy.  :)

How lucky am I to have such a beautiful daughter--it definitely softens the circumstances that I find myself in today.  And the latest-greatest news has me smilin' too.  (Drum roll please!)  G & P sold their house and are making arrangements to move to Arizona.  Looks like I can take a day or two a week to get myself back in the classroom.  I'm looking forward to subbing a few days here and there to keep my feet wet.  It will be hard not to have my own classroom, but that interaction with peers and kids is what I'm looking forward to...
