I was sitting out on the playground today with my friend/boss Michele. We were talking about all sorts of stuff. She was telling me about her husbands new job and all the crazy people he is going to meet. Her husband is crazy outgoing and meets famous people ALL.THE.TIME. Michele and I wipe butts, change stinky diapers, yell at kids, hug kids, fix boo boos, pick up cars, pick up toys, shake sand out of little girls hair and clean the dirt off of little boys faces. Michele and I pick up little plastic wrappers that are attached to drink boxes. We absolutely despise those. We also opened yogurt containers that shoot all over are shirts, apple sauce that spills all over tables, and the food that children rebelliously throw on the ground. That is what I do most of the day. I however do get 15 minutes or so to read to the kids and sing songs. This is my absolute favorite part of the day. I love singing with the kids, using funny voices to read stories, and share with them new exciting books.
I gave my notice today. My last day is June 17th. It wasn't really bothering me until I realized that Michele and I will not go to the corn maze this year. We go every year in the hot hot sun. The girls ride the cows barrels being pulled by a tractor , the corn maze, and our favorite part is eating the tri tip sandwiches. Seriously, I was ready to cry when I realized that I was leaving one of the only traditions that I have living here. I was trying to think of other traditions. I suppose Shal's Cookie Exchange and Diwali party is also traditional. It's not really my thing though, it's Shal's thing. So, now I move to Georgia. People many people say "it's a fresh start". Do I need a fresh start ? Will I start new traditions there ? Will I be able to have my fantastic winter wonderland that I have always wanted ? Will I like the south ? Lets hope so because I am going to be living there next month. Let the Countdown begin.
