Today was the last day of school for me.
A parent (one who is generally rude and has raised an incredibly rude child): “So, this is your last day before maternity leave?”
Me: “Yes.”
Parent: “Well you look great! You’re hardly showing!”
Me: “We’re adopting….remember?”
Parent: “Oh.”
SERIOUSLY???????????????????????????????????????????????
Anyway…I cannot accurately describe the overwhelming joy felt in my soul when I walked into the kitchen when I got home. I am home. Hopefully for good!
It’s official, though…I’m a housewife 🙂
I wish I could say I’m a stay at home mom – but I’m not.
Yet 🙂
My students yesterday prayed for me. They encircled me and laid hands on my and prayed for me…and our birth mother…and our baby. By the time they were finished I looked like I had a waterfall pouring out of my eyes. They are amazing kids.
I love teaching. Well, I love the kids. I love MY kids. I hate a lot of what goes hand-in-hand with teaching (that only fellow teachers could ever understand) but I love teaching. And I’m good at it.
I will miss my kiddos.
But for now…I’m home.
Big sigh 🙂

Yayy for being home. My last day at work before I go on 'tentative' FMLA will be Dec 31st. I think that will be a good way to ring New Year's in!
Your love for the kids and teaching comes through. 🙂

Welcome home! I know it's good to be home and to not have anything else on your plate other than the adoption. 🙂 Now, you can just take a nice, deep breath and get on with fluffing your nest.
