My old era...the last day of school, May 25, 2008; Jacob, my new era...
My cleaned out office, June 5, 2008Today my fellow principals are attending the beginning of year administration meetings...and I'm not there. For the first time in 39 years, since I was 5, (minus the time on my mission) I am not starting a new school year. Seems strange in some ways.
All summer it has seem pretty normal that I was not working, but thinking about everyone starting back into it and I'm not there is a bit strange. I'm smart enough to know that there are some things I will not miss, but I will miss the association with the people. I'm just glad to have email to help keep in touch.
After 7 years, I'm not making decisions for Spring Creek. That is weird that another person is running "my" school! :)
The closing of one era and the beginning of another...

It was great to see you and Jacob today. It seemed a little strange to me to be visiting you at home instead of your office at school. Especially with the beginning of school just around the corner. I will miss seeing you every day.
I bet it is really weird! But you will survive and next year at this time it will seem normal to be at home!!
I still feel like I should start school and I haven't been in any school capacity for years!
Darling Jacob will be an edcuation, no doubt!
Never mind that I can't spell "education". Perhaps I do need to return or at least proof read.
I remember that first year of staying home after years of starting the school year in the classroom. It is a weird feeling at first, but one that you get used to quickly! ;) Now I've started the school year cycle all over again since my two oldest are in school. It's really fun being on the parent side!
Aw! It is wonderful to be home, but it is strange not to go back. I haven't taught in 7 years, and each year I miss it less. Like you, I mainly miss my association with the people I worked with. So glad to still be in touch with you! But I love being home with my kids and involved in their schooling. This year is my first year as a 'class mom', and I can't wait! :)
This touche my heart. I have been having similar feelings. They were such good years with all my other family at Spring Creek and Maeser. I do miss everyone. But we must look forward and love what we are doing now. I loved looking at Jacob and hearing about him and you.
