I made it.

Oh my gosh I cant feel my legs. NO i CAN feel them, but they are in serious pain. I did it... I finished my 1st day at school... Let me run you through my emotional state real quick...
Last Night:
oh my gosh
Can I do this? cry cry cry
What if..... what if.... what else...
pizza sounds good....
xanax sounds good...
sleepy time...

This AM:
I am still tired.
I shouldnt have had that xanax...
I need coffee...
this coffee sucks.

Lets do this...

My kids are adorable. My classroom is unbearably hot. My kids seem like they will be good. I cant believe I did all that today. My throat hurts from talking... My feet hurt from walking.. I am not sitting on my couch... pooped.
thats that... lets see if i can do this stuff all year. I hope it gets easier.

i'm sure it'll get easier after your first day. although i don't doubt that you're going to be EXHAUSTED for the next week!

you're awesome, and you'll be an awesome teacher :)

You were born to teach. This week WILL be exhausting, but you WILL survive and you WILL be great.

Just always remember to find at least 3 good things in every day, before you start dwelling on the not so good things. (Please remind me of this next week!) Hang in there! That which does not kill us makes us stronger and wiser.
Love you!

It was nice to hear from you...did you get my post from your last blog entry? I really miss seeing you.

Can we see some photos of your room? I've been really dying to see how it all came out.

Enjoy the kids...this heat can only last so long. Call me when you can...I know you're busy!

Saturday is better for me. Bel- is that ok if we do it here?

Vouray said...

Friday is better for me cause it's my birthday and I'd love to hang with the knitters!

"Meems" said...

Gina's B-day!!! Lets do it then on Friday!!

ok.. wine tasting is at 11. Which means we need to leave Cburg by 950ish to make sure we get there. If you want to come.. Miranda is meeting us at our house.

Directions to house:
Take 460 by-pass to cburg downtown exit. Turn right on Patrick's Way. (It's right after foodlion, before the hill and funneral home). Turn left, follow Oak Tree Blvd straight down the hill, our house is number 610. Call me in the AM if you are coming so we know to wait or not.
