So today is Tuesday... I should be rushing around trying to make sure that I am ready and out the door by 7:15. I should be eating breakfast right now and putting on my shoes. I should be a jumbled mess. Instead I think I'll relax for the next 10 minutes and finish getting ready in a minute. Yes... it's 7:05 and 10 minutes would put me at 7:15, the time I would usually be leaving on Tuesday mornings for our lovely faculty meetings... but guess who just checked her e-mail to find that there is no faculty meeting this morning. That's right. This girl! I mean... we did have TWO faculty meetings yesterday. 1 in the AM and one immediately following buses. Neither one particularly good news. :( We found out that we have a brand new principal next year. We have been expecting to hear that our Asst Principal would step up... but we found out yesterday that she will be staying in her role as Asst. Principal. I think she was the best candidate for the job... but what do I know? Anyways, it does sound like a good person will be taking over as principal next year... they tell us we will be lucky to have her... that we will love her... and I'm sure
we they will. I guess it doesn't affect me much since I plan to be moving and will be getting a new principal, asst. principal, building, co-workers, and kids next year. Whew... all of that new scares me. But I'm
I think I am ready for the change. I'll be closer to family... I'll get to help take care of my mom and watch my nephew grow up... and he'll get to know me unlike my cousins kids who have no clue who I am. :(
Anyways.... so let me tell you about yesterday. I found out that I have the BEST KIDS EVER. This week is field day... yippee!!! Well our schedules have been changed so that we can still get a break. Well it came time for my break... then it was 5 minutes past my break.... and at this time I REALLY had to use the restroom. The specials teacher calls me and tells me to bring my kids to her. No problem. I can do that. Well we line up, I take them in the hall. And I get what looks like a signal to tell me that they have them. I even ask to find out if she was sure... and again I get the same signal. So I
run walk to the rest room. About 2 minutes later I come back out into the hallway... and my kids are still in a little
neat messy line.... RIGHT WHERE I LEFT THEM. I felt horrible. I was confused. I thought they were going to specials. I thought I had been relieved. Guess we had cross signals. I'm just glad they continued to stand there... in line... and be good. No one was screaming. No one was running down the halls. And when I did a number count... they were all there.
What I think is funny is that there were three adults standing in the hall, and no one realized that there was a class of 19 kids just standing there.
Craziness.
I have to say that with just 9 1/2 days left I am really sad to see them go. I'm gonna miss them. One of my girls told me the other day that it wasn't fair. My kindergarten class from last year still gets to see me... so they don't understand why they won't be able to see me next year.
My heart broke. I love them. I really do. They have been my kinders kids for almost 180 days... and there will always be a special place in my heart for each and everyone of them.
ANYWAYS.... enough mushiness... it's be almost 20 minutes (where does the time go???) so now I'm gonna have to go back to being a jumbled mess so that I can finish getting ready for work! Today is field day - yippee!
