My first week back...
I have successfully completed my first week back to work. I can not believe this is my THIRD year at Sandalwood. In our Science Dept meeting yesterday we went around and introduced ourselves because about half the science people left after last year. I said it was my third year and I was like dang. Where did 2 years go already??
But, I'm excited. This is the first year I actually feel completely ready for the first day of school. My classroom is semi-ready. Its all clean and everything I have is on the walls, but I have a few more ideas I'll just have to do on my planning period. Especially my inflatable solar system that's coming!! The Sun is 38" in diameter. So, they'll look SO awesome hanging from my ceiling!
Aaron and I had a rough night Thursday. We went to Walmart for juice around 10 and somehow got on the subject of kids. And once again, since his back is really been hurting this week (he did something Wednesday and thinks he hurt something new), he says he doesnt want kids. And I told him I won't be happy unless I do. So, then there was a long 30 minutes of silence when we got back to his house where I cried a lot and he said he cried a little, because we were both terrified the other was going to end things. When he realized it was 11:30, he tried to get me to go home, and I started crying hysterically. He asked what was wrong and I said "I don't want to leave because I'm terrified I'll never come back". He laughed at me, gave me the tightest hug ever and promised me "You'll see me tomorrow. You'll kiss me tomorrow. And we'll exchange I love you's tomorrow". It was a rough night. Still no resolution. But, I really am convinced that its only his back talking. He only says he doesn't want kids when he's been hurting a lot. Because he thinks he can't take care of himself, he can't take care of a kid. Which I understand. So, for those of you that pray, please pray for him. He had an epidural Monday into his herniated disc and he felt completely fine on Tuesday. Then Wednesday hurt himself again at work. I get so frustrated because I don't know what to do to fix him. So, please pray.
Other than that, life is as usual. I'm ready for the first day on Monday. Ready to meet my new students. I'm excited.
