Three weeks ago most schools in AZ started. Two weeks ago the school I was formally employed at started. And people are starting to ask me if I miss it. The first week or two it didn't set in that school had started again. But it's starting to. And I am not going to lie,a part of me really misses it. Especially when Laney throws herself on the floor because I won't give her another treat or because she thinks I am giving Allie too much attention. Or when it is 11am and I haven't showered yet. (When I worked I was always ready by 7am.) Or when i think of my friends who are still at that school and hanging out together. Or when I see kids that look like some of my favorite former students. Or when I am dreaming. (I have had 2 dreams in the past few weeks about the school and my former colleagues. Both of them ended with me crying.) And occasionally, I mind myself looking for jobs here.
But then I remind myself of all the times I cried about leaving my girls at home as I left for work. And I try to be grateful for this chance. The chance to deal with my 2 girls having meltdowns instead of 13 year olds having meltdowns. The chance to do what I always dreamed of doing- being a full time mom.
