mixed emotions...

Well, it's that time of year...back to work. BLAH.
I always have mixed emotions about it. I always get a little cranky right before it's time to go back. I always wish summer could be a little bit longer. All of those things have happened, and let's be honest, I'm still wishing summer could be just a little longer, even though we've been back to work almost a week. I suppose I could add about 100 other feelings to my usual back to school feelings...ummmm, for instance....that I'm 7 months pregnant and in about 10 weeks we'll have a child. Wow. Now if that's not a bit overwhelming, then I don't know what is!?! I would be dishonest if I told you I wasn't nervous about teaching and coaching. (while pregnant that is, because I've taught and coached many times before!) Basketball has started too (that's a whole different story, so we'll save that for a separate post!) I mean, what if I feel totally wiped out by the time practice or a game rolls around? What if I'm miserable and treat some kids that way? Oh goodness...I know what you're thinking (because I'm thinking it too!) I am not the first teacher who is having a kid during the school year. I am not the first person who is coaching a team while pregnant. Maybe I should just get over it?! Yeah, that's probably what I'll do. And I'll be fine. Trust me, I will. Pretty much Jeff has to be the tough one, because he's the one who has to listen to me complain! (about work, basketball, socks on the floor, a smelly dog...you name it!) :) He's pretty good about listening to me though, so for that I'm grateful!

So that's enough rambling...the kids come Wednesday. It's always better when they're there. These teacher work days are rather boring at times! (Don't tell Kristi that! She needs every one of these days to get organized for a bunch of rowdy 2nd graders!) Maybe being a PE teacher isn't that bad after all...
