Yesterday I went and packed up the rest of my classroom. I have not for one second doubted the fact that I want to stay home with Grapeseed. It was scary to actually resign, not to have that security of a paycheck, but I didn't even think about the not teaching anymore. Yesterday after all the boxes were in the car, Grapeseed and I stood waiting for the elevator, it hit me...I'm not a teacher anymore. I'm sure at some point I may miss it, but that's not even it. It's the fact that this chapter in my life is over. I'm sure that one day there will be a new teaching chapter (maybe a subbing chapter next school year?), but for now it's, "and they lived happily ever after!" I told my Mama and Steve that it took me 3 years of college to get my degree and I taught for 8 years and 2 months, I think I got my money's worth ; )
Here is our original SLE Pregnancy Club & my last "teacher" picture:
We also said goodbye to GS's carrier car seat. She is out growing it. Here is a picture of the first day she used it and the last:
On a much funny note- After I left school yesterday and was half way home my phone rang. Regina asked if I had forgotten anything. "No." "Really, I have your stroller!" LOL!!! I had parked the stroller on the sidewalk, took everything out, got GS, changed her diaper in the car, strapped her in the car seat and drove off. I was a little embarrassed, I just left it there on the sidewalk. Luckily I have a good friend! Thanks Regina! We went over and picked up the stroller today and GS got to take her first ride in her new car seat:
