No I have nothing to share yet...I'm heading out shortly for an "Intake" session for new employees. I have such mixed emotions. I miss FV so much. After talking to my sister and getting texts from friends about how weird it is that I'm not in the building, it just makes me so sad :( And there are some kiddos that I feel like I abandoned because I didn't get to at least tell them I was leaving. I have yet to have closer I suppose...
So the big question is who in the world is keeping the boys while I'm at this ridiculous thing? I was freaking out trying to think about what we were going to do...I even asked Trent if he was already allowed to take a day off of work. So after talking with a really nice family at the pool, they said they use care.com to find sitters. A total stranger watching my kids? NO! ... Well we had no choice. After reviewing some, we found this great gal, Amanda. She came yesterday and met the boys. Gus is so pumped for her to come today!!!! She happens to be a 3rd grade teacher with DPS. So we talked about that for a bit too. Overall, I feel good about this. My only concern is whether or not the boys will be good for her. I'll let you know how this goes...
Are you beginning to feel better? getting on a normal sleep schedule?
I miss you so much!
This has got to be really hard for you. I miss FV a lot and I've worked at quite a few other schools. We really didn't get to say good bye to the kids and that feels cruddy. I thought everyone's facebook info might get me down, but I ended up loving reading about people's first days. FV's just a cool place, that's all there is to it.
ReplyDeleteI am getting super good at deleting the FV email though. I zap it the second I see it. I don't want to know the day to day workings! Just moving on.
It's going to be weird starting in a whole new school next year, but we'll cross that bridge later.
Be patient with yourself with this new job gig. It's v. hard to change schools. Still, I'm super curious about everything and can't wait til you see the kids and start telling some stories about them.
So glad you went with AMANDA. These people are paid professionals and they know how to entertain kids. The boys will do great. I always thought it was funny how much my kids liked sitters. I think they got sick of me and wanted some one new around.
I'm beginning to feel better, but I'm super tired and sponge-brained. This has to improve. Last night I slept the best I have this entire week, so I know I"m getting there. Still, ALL of me wants to lay down and take a nap right now and I'm not going to let myself do it. Because I'm tough.
How far is your school from your house? How does Trent like the new gig? Did you meet anyone friendly at the orientation thing? Those are always so stupid, but I guess they have to have them. For some reason.
Love 2 u Ritchey!
Hi Ritchey. I wonder how you're doing. I'll just keep writing to you until you blog again. Or email. Or Facebook. Basically you won't get away from me.
ReplyDeleteNot doing much today. Avoiding writing with the internets, and then maybe a swim in the pool. This weekend we may go to a place called Caesaria, that has roman ruins. Stay tuned for some pix.
Hi Ritchey, Hope all is okay with you. I woke up a wee bit cranky today. Not sure why. Peter and I are going to try to find a place called Ein Hod. It's a village that's an artist colony.
ReplyDeleteMiss you.
