BItter Sweet!

Bitter sweet certainly sums up my emotions right now!   I have decided to stay home with Greer next year and work part time 2 days a week at All Saints teaching Mother's Day Out (which I am very excited about).  It is the best of both worlds for now, because I will be getting out the house, earning a little bit of spending money, but getting a small, but much needed break from Greer.  That sounded so terrible when I wrote it, but every mother needs and deserves a sanity break from her own child.  The bitter part comes from the fact that I just finished packing up a big part of my life (teaching) into a storage unit.  I put every bit of my heart into teaching and loved every minute of it.  I absolutely loved the school I taught at and adored the people I worked with.   I feel blessed for the experience I had at Deer Valley and hope to return when the timing is right.  In the mean time, I have found myself struggling to walk pass the school supply aisle at Target without getting sad.  I feel like I need to be in my classroom (my second home, which is no longer mine) preparing for the upcoming school year.  So, to ease my urge to organize, decorate, and clean like I would normally be doing right now...I am consuming my time with preparing for Greer's FIRST birthday.  This makes me happy, because I am able to reflect on this huge blessing that God brought into our lives  almost a year ago.

Not only did I shock myself in even having the desire to stay home from work with Greer, but I also realized what a slacker I am about keeping our blog up to date.  I plan to backdate blog a few things that are important to us.  My goal is to be better about blogging and documenting our life with Greer.  A lot has changed since he was born and I certainly have tons to write about and share.  I think I simply get overwhelmed at the thought of where to begin.  Until next time.......
