First Day of School

Well, it was the first day of school today. It went pretty well. I have been praying for confidence and I had this wave of confidence come over me. It was really reassuring. My 1st class was tough because I didn't have enough for them to do, but I tweaked it and it was great the rest of the day. I am WORN out though! It was hard getting there at 7 and getting home after 5. I had to do laundry, feed baby, and I am now doing more school work! Everyone says that the 1st year of teaching is the hardest. I hope I can make it through my first year. The work never ends.. except for on all those breaks! woo! I just have to keep my eyes on the prize! Labor Day. See you in 2 weeks.

Here I am on my first day.

When I got home today, the house was empty. Neil and Bennett were out shopping for me a "CSHS" plant in green and gold. Bennett is even wearing a "see ya later gator" onesie! They are so sweet to think of me. It was a great way to end a VERY long day. I love my boys!
