Well folks, the day I have dreaded all summer long is arriving tomorrow: my last day of summer. I went on "maternity leave" *cough, stopped taking sub jobs, cough* a week and a half before Malachi was born and now, 5.5 weeks after she was born our lazy days of cuddling and doing nothing but sit at home, enjoying each other are coming to an end. I'll map out the rest of my "summer" for you.
-Friday 7/1- Casey's family is coming to town.
-Monday 7/4- Casey's family leaves after fireworks
-Wednesday 7/6- I head to my mom's with Malachi to see family from Arizona.
-Saturday 7/9- I return home along with a bunch of my family.
-Sunday 7/10- Casey's family comes back to town. We all celebrate Malachi's dedication.
-Monday 7/11- All family leaves.
-Monday 7/11-Friday 7/15- Pack up apartment like a crazy mad woman.
-Friday 7/15- Monday 7/18- Move all our stuff to the new house and deep clean old apartment. And pick up Gibbs for good.
-Tuesday 7/19- Sunday 7/31- Unpack and get settled in new house. Prep lessons and classroom materials for the upcoming school year. (my first year of teaching!!)
-Monday 8/1- Thursday 8/4- I'm out of town for training for school.
-Monday 8/8- Monday 8/15- Inservice for school
-Tuesday 8/16- School starts.
*sigh* I get sad and feel overwhelmed when I think about all that must happen in the next 7ish weeks. However, I keep reminding myself that this transition of being a first time mom to a full time career woman will only happen once in my life. Unfortunately, it also coincides with our first move since Casey and I have been married. I know all the craziness will all soon be a memory in the past, but that also reminds me that the days of Malachi and I having no other care in the world but each other is also about to become a memory of the past- that breaks my heart.
I wish time could just stand still for a short while.... But, alas, it doesn't- So I'm going to go cuddle my sweet sleeping baby while I still can.
