August 14-20
Who knew seven days could bring such a plethora of emotions?!?! Happy, sad, grumpy.. (the rest of the seven dwarfs...)
Sunday was D-Day. It was the day before I was to head back to school. I had yet to officially step into the school for the purpose of teaching since March when I was put on bed rest. I questioned whether or not I would be able to teach, but then remembered, I have had practice for over 20 years..so I should be okay. My brother and sister will agree. Sunday was also a rough day knowing that Mason would be going to the sitter the entire week. I do not know who cried more..Mason--because he was getting wallered or me. Thankfully Monday came and went very quickly. Mason LOVES his Karie..and all his little girl (SPACE) friends that go there, too. Nothing like enabling a flirt.
The first day of school was so much fun. Each little kiddo was so happy to see me. They loved having their own desk and learning about each other. The smell of new crayons and supplies..plus their hugs and smiles reminded me that I do have the best of both worlds now:teaching and being a mommy.
Having Mason now has completely changed my priorities with teaching though. Although I am proud of my profession and will give 110%, I have realized there are more important things in life. Lesson plans will be there tomorrow..and meetings are just meetings. What is most important is making a profound impact on my students and being a good mommy...all the rest is just stuff.
Enough with school..on to the most important Mason.
Mason is now officially turning over from one side to the next. He is floppin' like a little fish. Although we had a feeling he would be active, we are now living it. No more leaving him on the couch to lay down. No more laying him on the floor on the blanket while sitting on the couch. He is a busy body. He is also laughing and "talking" a lot, too. Just like his daddy. I just cannot believe how much he has changed in 3 short months!! He is such a blessing.
We wish you a blessed week.
love and hugs--
The Youngs
