I survived!!!!

Yeah!!! I survived my first week at work!!!! It started off with me having to leave my son for the first time in almost 8 months at a daycare... well not me but my parents... then taking a 45 min drive from Bulverde, to New Braunfels where my school is. When i get to the school they aren't sure the exact classroom i was going to be in. so i get to bounce back and forth between the two different rooms. which i end up liking a lot more than i thought i would. i would get bored to easily in just one room (not really, there is enough to always keep me busy). it is very tiring being with all of the children (whom i have grown to love). monday was a get to know you day for me, i was getting to know all the other teachers in the school, in the two classrooms, and getting to know all the different students that i was going to be working with, and getting to know the crazy schedule that i was going to work my way into. lunch time comes around and it is a nice break from the crazyness that is my day!!! I find out that my friend Emily has the same lunch break that i do so we eat in her classroom, which is a nice break from having to sit in the workroom with teachers that i dont know yet who already have their lunch time buddies down (i started on the first day of the second nine weeks). It is also a nice break from having to introduce myself all day to all the other people in the school, to know someone, it is just a nice feeling to have a friend in a new environment. Lunch is over and its back to the grind (hahaha) i get to go outside for recess for a few minutes with two of my fifth graders. then i get to go work with my first grader, who is going to be my new best friend, because of all the time that we are going to be spending together just the two of us. the afternoon seems to zoom by and its time to leave. so here i go on my 45 minute drive back to Bulverde, and i get to go pick up Jackson from daycare!!!!! i get there and he is playing on the floor and is just as happy as can be!!! it is such a great relief to see that your baby is doing well not being with you!! its a bitter sweet feeling, knowing that he is growing up and doesnt always need his mommy right there next to him and also knowing that he is going to be ok without you, and that he is in great hands at his daycare!!! tuesday rolls around at 5:30 am and its back to the same routine that is going to be my life for the next 7 months. Tuesday goes by without any problems... i go to pick up jackson and he has a runny nose!!! second day in daycare and he is already sick!!! wedneday comes around and coffee is my best friend and if i could have a coffee drip hooked up i would be golden!!! on wednesday i have my orientation which lasts FOREVER!!!!! i finally get back to school and finish out my day and picked up jackson!!! which i think is the best part of my day; getting to see my son!!!! friday finally makes its way around and it is a crazy day, but we make it thru... so after school i go to talk to my pricipal and vice about finishing out my 4-8 certification, and that is one laugh after another with those two, but we think we have it figured out and decide on the two other tests that i should take after i finish my other certs. so after i take this other test i would be certified to teach pre-k - 8th grade. so i talk to my parents about all this information and today i look online at my account with TEA and all i have to do is pay $77 and my certification will be complete!!! so that was a great way to start out my weekend, not having to take another test and only having to pay a little bit!!!! so now i get to start focusing on taking my ESL test in January!!! Yeah for a great first week!! and tonight i get to go see a Cirque play at the Majestic!!! and tomorrow is Jackson's 1st HALLOWEEN!!! he is going to be a dragon!!! how cute is that!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Until next time!!!
