Has it really been that long since I last posted. May 24th. Wow. I really do suck. It wasn't even something special either. It was just a quote I happened upon and loved. Jeez.
In other news...
My darling husband, Sean, and I just celebrated our 10th anniversary. Ten years married to the same guy and I still find him totally irresistable. Well, most days anyway. He gave me a gorgeous new diamond for my wedding band set. It's much larger than the chip (literally) I had before. I'll get a picture of it up as soon as my other computer warms up. That's where all my pictures are. This having two computers thing can be rather irritating. Anyway, I have a wonderful treat for him (I haven't been able to give it to him yet, waiting for, well, me. I just have to go get it.) I would put what it is, but then he might stumble on here (though I doubt he ever looks anymore) and find out then the surprise...and what a surprise it is...would be lost.
I return to work in a few days. Six to be exact. I really don't want to go back. I love being at home with my kids. It makes everything so worthwhile. My Little Man has been having behavioral issues ever since he started school and with my working last year, they just became worse. He has been mostly great all summer and now it's about to be screwed up. I just hate it. We had him in therapy last school year, and we will be starting that again very soon. I'm worried about him.
Miss E is a precious gem, as always. Definitely a girl. She loves dress up and everything that goes with it. She 'can turn the world on with her smile.' I know it sounds stupid, but I swear it's true. She just gives off this joy that you can't help but want to hug and snuggle. I really don't want to go back to work because she loves having me home just like her brother. It breaks my heart.
So, I return to teaching for my second year. It will be better this year. I'm certain of it. I have a better support system in place (better sense of humor anyway) and I feel more prepared. I don't feel as though I will be completely lost, like did a lot last year. I just wish it were June already. Teachers have crappy hours and crappy pay and deal with crappy attitude from both kids and parents. We deserve so much better. Hey parents, do me a favor (or at least your kids' teachers) teach them respect for adults. That's your job, not mine. I teach English, not respect. I expect that to be already in place by the 5th grade. sheesh.
