It's Friday!!!

I have come to love Fridays. The last day of the work week, casual attire (jeans), text messages from two of my closest teacher friends before we even leave our houses asking who wants Starbucks, knowing that the weekend is just ahead of us & family time is right around the corner. I think of Toby Keith's song (I think he sang it?) "Working for the Weekend". This has become so true in my life. I do like my job, I enjoy my students & have developed amazing friendships with coworkers, but I LOVE my family. Being away from Flynne everyday is extremely hard. I'd be lying if I said I walked out the door at 7:20am and never thought about her. The minute I leave I wonder if she knows I've left, if she's crying for me, if she'll remember that I wasn't with her everyday. Some mornings are better than others and I try to be as strong as I can. I've only cried a couple times and it helps that two of my best friends at school also have babies, we are able to help get each other through the day. As well as random comments from our students that make us laugh when we probably shouldn't! But that's another post for a different day. I know on Friday mornings that I won't have to leave her until Monday and that I can forget about work for the weekend, sorta! Tonight I was doing some finishing touches for my big girl's first birthday party tomorrow. I'm overwhelmed with emotions & can't wait to celebrate her with our family tomorrow...
