I've been reading the blogs of several dear friend's I taught with in Utah and I MISS IT SO MUCH! I kind of feel bad saying that - I mean, I'm due with our precious baby in 2 weeks, so I should be glad that I don't have a classroom to put together, or millions of copies to make, or curriculum to write and adjust, or 20 name tags & games to make and laminate, or bulletin boards to put up and revamp...right? But in all reality, I'm so sad.I miss being in my empty classroom and singing loudly with the stereo turned up just because the students aren't there yet, laughing and catching-up with wonderful coworkers while trying to track down the ever-moving butcher paper cart, making a million trips back and forth to the copy room because I forgot something - again, meeting sweet and shy little 6 year olds who come with their parents to meet their new teacher, and using my staple gun to attach anything and everything to, well, anything and everything.
As a wonderful friend has reminded me, though, I should be grateful I ever had the privilege to be a teacher.
All I have to say is Buddy needs to hurry and get here before I catch a flight to Orem to help ANYONE at Geneva who will let me take part in their back-to-school prep.

School's not that great ;) lol
Don't worry you're gonna love being a mom. The wait is just too hard.
Oh and PS...if you're gonna catch a flight to Orem you might as well come visit us in Davis...
ME TOO! I was so excited to have a break from teaching and now that I hhave it I'm so sad. I had to go pick stuff up at school twice in the last week and I was so sad. I peeked in my old room and it was all set up with someone else's stuff. :( And all the school supply sales at the stores are making me sad too! But I guess we should be happy we ever got the chance to teach, right??
Sorry I didn't call you back yet. We got home really late yesterday!
You can come help me set up my classroom, I just went by today for the first time since the last day of school! It would be great fun and a flight to the bay area is cheaper and shorter than SLC!
I love your creative crayon pic!:)
I miss it too! and 30 students for the day is way easier than 1 all day and all night! But I love it, I do. I just miss the classroom fun.
