Have you missed me? I would like to think you have, but even if you haven't, that's okay ~ ~ ~ I'm back!
I started my job at Harris Elementary, Greenfield on August 28th ~ 25 days ago. Wow! It doesn't seem like it has been that long. How time flies when we are having fun. That comment could need some thinking about. The how much fun it has been. Fun - yeah the kids are great, but as with any job, there are some adults that you have to keep telling yourself - it really is fun Bette, there are the kids and they are great.
But back to what I do. I'm back in 3rd grade and as one of my own children calls me "his 3rd grade mother". Not only having to think as an 8 or 9 year old in writing, math, spelling, science and other subjects, I'm trying to learn the names and personalities of 56 (new to me) 3rd graders.
Life is different at the Towle House. Lee is still working and through trial and error, we have arrived at a workable schedule. I take him to work on my way to Harris at 6:40AM and he is picked up at 10:30 and returned home by different ones ~ Lana, Derek, Liggy ( his Asst. Manager ) and occasionally me, the Lee pick-up brigade. Hope that makes sense. Being tired makes a person's mind think and say things backwards.
It all ends for me at 3PM when I am once again home. Many days I collapse on the bed for a nap before I can convince myself it is time to do some housework and fix dinner. Everyone says it will get better. I'm waiting!
More about school later. Just wanted to let you know all is well and I have returned.
