So Monday is the first day of work for Chuck and I. Our students come back Wednesday. This year is full of lots of changes. We lost our family babysitter due to job changes, and the fact that the only kid left to watch is our Julia. Julia is going into preschool, which should be a hoot. Jonas is a big 1st grader. The calm of dropping the kids off safely down the street with their aunt and uncle now will change to a trip to a before-school program at the elementary school and a full day preschool/daycare down the street from Chuck's school. A lot more driving, and a lot more strangers.
I've never had a babysitter that wasn't family. I think I'm terribly spoiled. I'm not 100% keen on the idea of leaving my babies in the hands of people I don't know, but I know the programs are fine . . . we did our research.
As much as my kiddos seem to drive me nuts during the summer sometimes, I always get weepy when my many hour day with them turns into a couple hour evening. Balance, balance.
I'm pumped to play a role in the lives of, currently, 23 4th graders this year! I'm blessed every year with kiddos with wonderful hearts! What a joy to see them every day! My biggest goal this year is balance and blessings. Count my blessings, keep my life balanced.
Love to all.
