We survived

Last Sunday at church, Mat was telling people he was terrified about me going back to work. He knows me well and knows what an emotional mess I can be sometimes! He was so worried about how I was going to handle all of this! Well, we all survived. I only had a few emotional breakdowns, but I think I am handling it all pretty well. Blair enjoyed her time with Levi (I think!) and things seemed to go pretty smoothly for her. He did have a few fussy days, but she did a great job with him!

Things at school are falling into place, and I don't feel too stressed out- at least not yet. Stepping back into things wasn't nearly as difficult as I expected it to be. That was in large part due to the great team that I work with! They have been so supportive and helpful while I get adjusted to things.

I told Mat on Friday that I have never looked forward to a weekend more than I did this one. We both agreed that it was nice to be home and just enjoy a lazy weekend with Levi.

Only a few emotional breakdowns? THAT part of your personality you got from me! Sorry!! But, you will be fine. Levi will thrive with all those around him who love and care for him! You will bless those kids you teach. GOD has you exactly where he wants you... believe that! I love you!

I too was thinking about you. I am sure your students and their parents are so happy to have you back. Glad it went smoothly.

Lora, I am impressed how AMAZINGLY well you are handling everything. I was most worried about your class and you got them shaped back up! You are a fantastic mother, I am taking it all in!
