Don't Drink the Water at Sanders!

Commemorating still being able to see my feet :) Look at that big round belly!

15 Weeks

(since this pic was taken, 2 more babies have been born and 2 more girls have become pregnant)

So, the school that I work at is a baby making factory! So far this year, there has been 6 babies born (2 girls and 4 boys) and there are 7 more girls expecting right now. Just to keep track of everyones pregnancies and births, our awesome secretary created this baseball field with everyones names and due dates listed. As we move through the trimesters, we move around the baseball diamond. We are surely keeping supply teachers in demand this school year and next.


For the last couple of weeks, I was planning out the possibly of job sharing a kindergarten position next year and only working 2 or 3 days a week. I had already seached out part-time daycares, worked out a budget, and had a basic plan with the other teacher. But, because of the ecomony, the county doesn't even know if they are going to renew any part-time positions for next year. Also, if I did go part-time, I wouldn't be guaranteed a contract each following year. Unfortunetly, there is just no way I can risk my job, considering the amount of counties actually having to lay teachers off. I'm very sad about it :( It breaks my heart when I think about dropping off a baby at a daycare center 5 days a week. But, I have to keep reminding myself that tons of families do it everyday, and that it will all be okay. Plus, I am lucky to have my schedule and will get to have all holidays and summers off with my little one.

Happy 28th Birthday to my handsome husband this weekend! Love you!

Love,
Erin
