This week I have had to jump back into the "real person" world face first. I had planned on subbing for a teacher next semester while she was on maternity leave. She wasn't due until January 13th, so I wasn't expecting to start until the first of the year. After a doctor's appointment on Monday, she found out she would be needing me 2 1/2 months early--she's on bed-rest!!
It has been an adjustment to go back into every-day teaching, but it's been fantastic so far! I love being in the same classroom everyday and actually getting to know the kiddos. They have such cute little personalities! They have been so helpful in this transition; all I have to do is ask them how they normally do something and I get 15 kids telling me. Which has come in handy since I didn't get a chance to observe the teacher.
The only bad thing is that since John and I are at the same school and riding together, we have stayed at school late every night this week. We don't feel so bad staying late because we're just down the hall from each other. The pup on the other hand I don't think likes it so much...although she's been able to sleep in the bed for the last few nights because we've felt so bad!!
We're going to the "big game" tomorrow. Actually, the hubby is going to the actual game and I'm going to the mall for some shopping! Apparently, they play he game over the mall PA-who knew? Then it's a busy Sunday with church, cleaning, grocery shopping, back to school (go figure!), dinner at the in-laws. And I thought weekends were for relaxing! :)
