Today is the end of my eight week long term sub assignment. In some ways, it's such a lesson in how quickly time passes. In others it's a lesson in the fact that time does pass even when it feels like it isn't. Ultimately though, I'm very grateful to be finished...almost more than I thought I would be. I'm hoping at some point to write a post that attempts to recreate our lives with two full time incomes (although I should note that as a long term sub the workload is definitely full time, but the pay doesn't even come close). I'm so very much going to miss the kids, and I knew that would be the case. I really wasn't too emotional today until there were some hugs at the end of the day. I was just doing high fives as a way to say good bye, but then a little girl Eva insisted on a hug. She is the daughter of a friend so that didn't really hit me, but when the boys started hugging me that about did me in.
The other thing that is over...the ugly campaign ads. I don't care who you might be voting for or what your preferences might be in anything...these ads have been absolutely awful. Now some of you in some "not so pivotal" states might be wondering what the heck I'm talking about, but HELLO! I live in OHIO! I'll be honest, I like living in an important state in terms of many things, but national elections is not one of them. I detest politics in just about every way possible. I'm so glad I can now turn on my tv and radio and not feel irritation at both sides!
Looking forward to having more blog time now!
