I wished too hard!

Daycare opened yesterday, so excited! Went to work, couldn't wait to get back again today. Well guess who woke up with pink eye(stink eye as we call it in our house)? Yep, Ben! No daycare today! But I WILL go to work this afternoon while he naps. So mad I have an all day training tomorrow and can't work in my room. Ok--boring blog post! All my wishing for daycare to open bit my me it the butt!

Coming to an End!

Daycare opens tomorrow! This is great for Ben, ok and me too. Back to routines and schedules. I function best on knowing what my day will be like. Ben is ready to go play with his friends and be back to things on a schedule. Ella is ready for 1st grade and so excited to see her friends. Mom is very ready to go back to work. I am not looking forward to the next two weeks of trying to get ready. I need more time in my room and hope I can get it the next 14 days (I doubt it!). Summer I look forward to by about March during the year and never thought I'd count down until school starts. I am hoping as the kids get older this won't be the case.

Why I have to work:

1. Money--I like to get paid.
2. I like adult interaction.
3. No patience for my own kids, sad to say, but summer can be long.
4. Would spend too much money beingat home,with all the field trips we would take to stay sane.
5. I am not creative to do projects at home my kids.
6. My house would be a disaster 24 hours per day.
7. I would nap everyday.
8. I like working 9 months and having 3 off.
9. I like the challenge my students give me.
10. I am not aloud to be a stay at home mom with my kids in daycare or at school!
