Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! Looks What’s Going on in Our Room!

My mind races daily about precious little children. I have really enjoyed being home with my 3 1/2 year old son, Garrett, and my 7 week old son, Hayden.  Garrett is so helpful and loves being a big brother. Having two children has made my life much more interesting as well as busy. My husband works a lot of hours, so I spend a lot of time just me and the boys. Garrett loves to play any kind of ball outside and I never have enough energy to keep up with his! Hayden is a good baby and is sleeping through the night most nights.  Children are the most wonderful miracles!

Now, I also think a lot about the 22 children in my classroom that I have not met yet.  I have seen pictures of most of them, but cant match names with the faces. My baby, Hayden, has not had his shots yet. Once he has had his first set, I would like to go to my class and share him with my children and try to put names with faces.  I have big plans of doing a lot of school work the week before I go back to make sure that I am prepared and organized.  My children are on their 3rd substitute. I wish that it would have just been one the entire time. This worries me because I dont want them confused.  I have my fingers crossed that the one that started Monday will stay til the end of my maternity leave.

I feel lost when it comes to my job because I hear so many “rumors” of things that have changed this year. New rules from the principal and the new superintendent seem to be the topic of conversation a lot with my friends that teach at many different schools. I am very open to change, just like to know all the details. I don’t want to bombard my team with questions all the time so I am trying to just take notes until I return.

I have gotten myself on a schedule since I have been home and need to start preparing myself to return to work. I still have four weeks, but have really gotten addicted to certain t.v. shows…Ellen and Wife Swap on Lifetime!  I plan on getting back on a better work schedule starting next week to prepare myself for the 22 children in my classroom who I am dying to meet!
