time is up

My precious little boy is 6 weeks old.
This means only 1 thing...I have to go back to work tomorrow.
I can't believe it.
It seemed like such a long time away 6 weeks ago.
Now it's here, and there's nothing I can do about it.

I'm having a hard time tonight thinking about going back.
I went to school today to get ready and I just looked around my room and felt lost.
I had no idea what had really been going on in there these past 6 weeks.
How are they going to react to me?
I don't even really know where they are academically.
AND, I have 2 nights of conferences the following week.

However, I do believe that God has called me to be a teacher.
I feel that even more as I have been praying about things lately.
So many of my friends get to stay at home with their children and I often wonder if that is what I'm supposed to be doing.
After a LOT of prayer, I truly feel that God has a plan for me and for right now it's to be in the classroom.
I feel that after becoming a mommy, I have become a better teacher.
I constantly think about my kids through out the day, but find comfort in knowing they are with Grandma.
They are with a loving, caring and compassionate Christian woman.
While I am being a loving, caring and compassionate Christian woman to 22 kids.
That is what I would want for my kids....to have a teacher that is a Christian and truly cares about them.

So tomorrow I will be walking out the door with my 2 kids so I can go to work.
Pray for me!
Pray that I will get rest at night!
Pray that my student's will be understanding as I walk back into an unfamiliar situation.
Pray that the first day of All Day Kindergarten is successful for the students and me!
