School started. I seriously have no love for my current class of students. Why is it that no one warned me that besides simply not wanting to come back to teaching, I would not enjoy it that much anymore, because all I want is to spend time with MY children, not other people's children who were woefully not taught appropriate direction following and listening skills? (Don't even get me started on the academic side of things!) I feel like I'm already at that crabby mid-year teacher stage when you daydream about spring break. Tomorrow is Friday, and I can't wait for it to be over.
Except, for the first time in my life, I'm dreading the Saturday after it. Right now, I just want time to stand still. I want to stay in this moment where I am at home in pjs with my hair in a ponytail, spending time with my family- all the members- my husband, my two children and my two dogs. Because, you see, after Saturday morning, my family will be missing one important part.
Benelli's appointment is at noon.
Right now, I just want time to stand still.

Gosh, I'm hurting for you right now. With school and your dog...you are one strong person! Thinking of you and praying for you.
I'm so sad for you! Sending lots of prayers and comfort your way. Poor puppy and poor mommy!
I'm so sorry to hear about Benelli. It's never easy.
Oh, Katie. I am so sorry. There are mo words that will make this any easier. I know I am a sap, but I am crying for you and Jake right now. I wish I could give you one IRL, but ((HUGS))...
Love you.
Awww, a big hug to you. So so sad about Benelli. I remember when my parents had to put down my childhood dog...not easy. I will be thinking about you and praying peace for you tomorrow at noon.
hugs. :(
This just breaks my heart for you. :-( I'll be thinking about you.
Oh Katie, I am so so sorry. I don't know what else to say. I know you must be hurting so much right now. I want to give you a big hug and yet I know that isn't even enough. Much love to your entire family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
So sorry Katie! Sending you all lots of love!
Oh, Katie, I am so very sorry. I teared up immediately when I read your post. At first I was saddened to how you have felt about starting up work again. But then my stomach dropped and my heart sank as I quickly got to the end, not even anticipating the news. I am so very sorry that you will have to say good-bye to Benelli. I will be thinking about you and wish I could give you a hug IRL.
I so hope that with time you'll feel differently about returning to school.
I know the fatigue has been rough on me this week. It always takes me several weeks to adjust, and I think getting up to do feedings at night isn't helping.
I slept 12 hours last night! Not straight through, of course, but still. And then I took a nap this afternoon.
I'm so sorry about Benelli. As if this wasn't a hard enough time?
