It's Official!

Well, last week I mailed in my resignation letter to Mon. County Public Schools and today Dave and I will finish cleaning out my classroom. As of this afternoon, I will be a SAHM (Stay At Home Mom) to Brooklyn and any other children that we will have after her. ~~No, I am not pregnant~~

I went in on Wednesday afternoon without Brooklyn to get the process started and to get the first car load. As I walked in, I thought that maybe I would miss it a little bit. But then I realized that there were also no kids in the room causing havoc, no parents complaining about grades and no principals volunteering me to do even more work throughout the day.

If you are a teacher, you now know that is when I realized that I wouldn't miss at all! LOL I'm not going to miss all the 'crap' that comes along with teacher. If you ask me what am I going to miss, there are a few things. I will miss meeting new students at the beginning of the year, decorating my classroom in August; day dreaming about what cool things might happen that year, and teaching interesting subjects and watching their eyes light up when they finally understand what I am saying.

So nursing Brooklyn, changing & washing diapers, and play dates will be my life for next several years. It will be a change I am sure but a fun, excited and interesting change. This is what I was born to do, I feels SO natural and that is what is most important.

You forgot to add hanging out with, and occasionally watching, your super-cool nephew as part of your new "job". Brooklyn is also quite pleased with the career change!
Love,
