I am thankful I have a few more years to worry about that transition (I hope!). <br /><br />Take heart knowing lots of moms are rooting for you and sending more positive vibes than you'd know what to do with anyway. It will be different and sometimes not easy, but I suspect it will be all good when you come out the other side.CynthiaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04960741754070312487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2449730019295901209.post-47963347326729591122009-08-24T20:29:07.091-07:002009-08-24T20:29:07.091-07:00That sounds like a tricky stage to get through. Yo...That sounds like a tricky stage to get through. You're bound to find a good balance between "working mum" and "mothering mum"!<br /><br />Depressingly, when I go to get a job when my kids are both school age, I have NO career to return to. So it'd be working at a checkout or something like that for me.<br /><br />Sigh. You'll find your groove!Allegro ma non troppohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429615833285806779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2449730019295901209.post-51292700829580869592009-08-24T12:52:13.780-07:002009-08-24T12:52:13.780-07:00I don't have any wise words, other than that I...I don't have any wise words, other than that I don't tend to cry on first days either... though i will cry at the patriotic portion of a laser show projected onto a mountain.

Both of them denied it, but later one admitted, "Well, I did put my head down on my desk now and then, but it's not like I was SNORING or anything." <br /><br />Crazy.Toiling Anthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17705900437481334242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2449730019295901209.post-86993637249355555222009-08-24T11:39:55.603-07:002009-08-24T11:39:55.603-07:00It is always a struggle to find yourself at the br...It is always a struggle to find yourself at the brink of a major change in your life. I remember when I went back to work, I was terrified! But, in the end I knew it was the right thing to do, as you do as well. <br /><br />Whatever class you are in each day, they are lucky to have you. Showing your heart here can only help you direct that at a classroom.The Fritz Factshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162992338469733361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2449730019295901209.post-51000310771726448842009-08-24T10:40:02.872-07:002009-08-24T10:40:02.872-07:00You are going through all of the thoughts & fe...You are going through all of the thoughts & fears I had a few years ago when I was finally offered a classroom again. <br /><br />And it was (sometimes still is) difficult, but being honest about your feelings (tired, grouchy, stressed) helps as does just walking away from the brain-draining stuff and giving yourself permission to <i>enjoy</i> and <i>breathe</i>.<br /><br />You can do it, and I get the impression you'll be happier than you imagine. :Dstephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04257126641387033673noreply@blogger.com
