Recently some friends of ours got engaged and they are so cute! They are always touching and smiling and feeding each other. We don't do that anymore. After all, it's been three years. I was feeling pretty sad about this and would tell my husband this every time we spent time with these friends. But I just shared a moment with my husband that lets me know that even though we aren't all mushy gushy anymore he loves me even more than he used to. Let me explain.
I am eight months pregnant and quite roundish. My doctor keeps telling me my uterus is too big and all the old ladies at church love to exclaim how big I am. So reaching my toes is getting hard to do to say the least. And they were dirty cuz I am the cliche' bare-foot and pregnant type I guess. So my husband, being the wonderful many that he is, cleaned them off for me. Between the toes and all.
Now that, my friends, is true love.

Hi-Ho Hi-Ho It's Off to Work I Go!
Well I officially started working in my classroom this week and I am so glad I had a week and a half in advance to work on it before my contract "work days" start. Work days usually consist of lots of meetings and proffessional development stuff. No time to work in the class. So I have rounded up any available family member to come and help me put this class into order.
You know how when you move into an old house there are all sorts of "fixes" that have been done over the years? Well the same is true for a school that is 100 years old. But this school has charm and I love it! It smells like I remember school smelling. A mixture of paper and pencils and something else...anyway, it's a good smell. I have also had a lot of fun ordering supplies for my room and since it's kindergarten, I get to order all the really cute stuff! For all you teachers out there, I really like the DJ Inkers stuff. Very cute!
The only downside is that I am in a frenzy to have everything absolutely organized and ready to go so that when I go on maternity leave I am not so stressed out about it. Especially since I just found out I don't get paid maternity leave...ouch! I am hoping my principal will let my wonderful aide, Lucy, be my sub. I would feel so much better knowing that my class is keeping its continuity and that they are still getting appropriate education in my absence. I plan to stop in every once in a while so that my kids don't forget me. I also am going to do parent teacher conferences. So it isn't really a complete leave.
I would appreciate your prayers in all of this. I am worried about the money part mostly. I am now the primary provider since my husband is going back to school full time. I am frustrated that although we are very responsible with our money and we have planned everything out, or thought we had, we still are going to be behind and really really tight for the next few months. I know God will provide, just like he provided me the perfect job. Sometimes though I need reminding:).
God Bless You All!!!
