So, today was my last day of work for the year. It was a wonderful end to a hectic week. I've been running on adrenaline all week long and after school today I felt like I'd hit a brick wall. I am done! It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. I wasn't as excited as I thought I would be. It's weird. I have mixed feelings. It will be nice to not have the stress of working the rest of the year. It will be nice not having swollen ankles everyday after standing on my feet all day. But, I am sad to leave. I LOVE my job! I love the people I work with and yes, even my kids (most days- and especially now that I don't have to deal with them). I also feel like this is a turning point in my life. Like, when I come back to work in August I will be different. I won't be just a teacher anymore. I will be a full-time working mom! It's a change- I'm not sure all that will mean yet, but I know it will be a change, forever more it's a change. That was a weird feeling today. I have poured my life (probably too much of it at times) into my job, and now I know my life will be split. I can already feel this struggle!
On the lighter side, the day was great. We had parties this afternoon and my kids brought me baby gifts. I mean lots and lots of baby gifts! They are so nice! The kids wrote the sweetest notes to me! I am overwhelmed by their sweet words and thoughtfulness!
Then after work, my friends from the gym took me to dinner and gave me baby gifts. I am just feeling so undeserving and loved right now!
As for baby, not happening today. I made it to Friday! I can start working out again now! I am hoping she gives me some time to get my "list" done! Two weeks from today is my official due date!

I'm glad you felt so loved on your last day of work by your kids and your friends! It is lots of mixed emotions right now but when she comes, you'll pretty much forget about school for a while. She'll have your undivided attention!
