My Last Day of Work

Well, the day has finally come. My desk looks funny empty. Reggie has taken my last few boxes. I still have a lamp and my chair. My dad will be picking that up. I have e-mailed a few co-workers and choked up a little. The bell just rang and the kids are in the halls. I am sorta afraid to go out into the hall. I don't want to start crying so early. I'll wait until they come to me.

In the large scheme of things I don't see why I am getting emotional. It isn't like I am going far...and my children will still go to this school. I just won't be here everyday. I guess most of all I am going to miss how important they make me feel. They all treat me with just respect. They know I am cool, but strict. My own kids know all my faults and aren't afraid to tell me about them. The kids at school put me on a pedestal and it is kinda nice to be looked up too like that. I think back to how long I have known some of these kids and in some cases it is pre-k.

Last night I said we were going to the Circus. Ever heard the saying,"Wanna make God laugh, make a plan" That was my night. Donny called mandatory batting practice at 5pm. The boys didn't come strolling in until 8:00pm. I had made Taco Salad because Rylee and Reggie were hungry. By 8:20pm the boys had devoured the rest of the Taco Salad. Mind you, the Circus started at 7:30 so we had missed it by a long shot. Rylee asked if we could go swimming. That was an option, but the pool closed at 8:30pm. By the time we got to the Y it would have been closing. So Rylee cried and said,"I never get to do anything." Poor Rylee....he is leaving tomorrow for Florida with Brian...but he never gets to do anything.

Mom and John are taking McKayle to see Aunt Toni in Tennessee. I guess they are leaving tonight and will be home on Tuesday. I was tripping when I first heard they were going because I thought they were staying longer. I had plans to leave for Chicago on Wednesday. Come to find out they are coming home on Tuesday. So all is well.

I ended the night watching The Mist can I just say, "WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!!!" That was a horrible movie with a more horrible ending. I was so mad that I sat and watched that movie.

That's all for now.
