Back To School

Time’s almost up.  Back to school on Monday.  I am finished with my training to drive the big yellow bus.  I have packed everything up that needs to go back to the classroom with A1.  I have prepared my mind to go back to school.  I want to do it with a happy heart, because I don’t want the kids to sense the hint of sadness in me.  Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m ready to go back and see my co-workers and all the students.  But I’m sure you can identify with the love of staying at home on cold days, being inside with the kids while it snows outside, and enjoying lots of games and sensory play, movies and books and just lounging in pajamas and messy hair all day.

I really didn’t look forward to break until the last day, and by then, I was counting down the hours.  So I was surprised to be feeling a bit sluggish in my desire to go back.  I can’t explain it very well, but I just wanted to stay home.  Now, if I could go to work in my jammies and not have to go outside, I probably wouldn’t have hesitated.  Okay, who am I kidding?? Of course I would hesitate, because I really just want to sleep and snuggle my kids all day.  I don’t want to work.  I don’t think I should have to work.  I think I should be a stay-at-home-mom.
