Whew.

Last Thursday was our Spring program at the kids' school.
It was my last program there. Three years. Wow.
My kids made me a huge canvas covered in artful fingerprints. Not just my kids, but my 100 kids...
Each fingerprint was turned into a flower, ladybug, butterfly, music note, etc.
Every child at the school has a fingerprint on that masterpiece, it is beautiful!
Oh how they will be missed!
They presented the canvas to me at the end of our program then the staff at my school took me to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner (because it took them about 3 minutes to figure out how much I love hot wings...)

Friday was my last day. It was a hard day. I alternated between being sad and tearful and then making myself detatch from the emotions of leaving a job I have loved so much. It was easier than I thought. That must be because of how excited I am about what lies ahead for us.

Saturday was also a big day. My brother and sister-in-law-to-be had a wedding shower, which Shan and I helped host. That took up the better part of the day. It was a great shower. I enjoyed it!

Saturday evening entailed a bachelorette party for Sara. I was home by 10:45pm. I am so old!!
I really, really love Sara. My brother waited a long, long time to meet a girl like her and she is perfect for him. I am truly excited to add her to our family and I cannot wait to get to know her better.

Saturday night held a kid with a fever and sleeplessness for momma.

Sunday was church day and then I saw Shan and Kari off, shopped for groceries, cooked dinner, washed my car, cleaned the house, loaded my car with all the stuff I'm moving into my new office tomorrow, and lastly - email and blog checking.

Tomorrow I begin. A new job. A new start. New. New everything. My kids will be on Spring Break. I will not. They will be hanging out with my parents all week for Spring Break while I work. This is also our childcare situation for my full-time schedule when school resumes.
I plan to spend tomorrow setting up my office and jump right in tomorrow evening with a church council meeting.

I look forward to this. I do. The jitters began today though.
Tomorrow will be a good day.

Priority #1: Find the coffee pot.
Priority #2: Find the bathroom.
Priority #3: Knock their socks off.

Wish me luck.
