So this is the final Friday of summer vacation. A week from today I will be sitting in meetings. That's so surreal, I don't even want to think about it! I have been so blessed to have these last two months at home with my sweet little girl...and we still have a whole week left!! I realized looking at the calendar for the upcoming year that I should have at least one day at home with her/month. That's pretty awesome! Plus weekends, etc. If I could win the lottery so money weren't a factor, I would kiss my job goodbye and be a stay-at-home Mommy FOR SURE!! But thanks to God's provision, we have an amazing child care situation worked out for this year. I work in a job I enjoy - in spite of things like extra paperwork and Saturday trainings - and I believe God has a reason for wanting me to work instead of staying at home, otherwise He would have worked out a way for me to do so. Therefore, I am going to go to school everyday expecting Him to use me for some kind of good. :)
Random thought...I put an extra s in my blog name. Nataliessmommy. LOL So much for MY degree in English!
Back to my rambling - the upcoming school year. I am looking forward to the newness of it all. And I don't just mean new school supplies...though that is one of my favorite parts!! There will be a new crop of kids. I have a new assistant. I am grade level chair, which means I no longer have to stay after school for Leadership meetings (AND I DON'T HAVE TO TYPE UP MINUTES!!). I have a plan for being organized...even ahead a week? (Hey, optimism is a good thing!!). I have a goal of leaving and being home by 4:00 most days, barring something unexpected. I have an ALMOST clean house (one bedroom and a bathroom remain; I was feeling too icky yesterday to venture far from my bed) which I plan to keep sparkly and beautiful so company can come over ANYTIME without my dying of embarrassment. I have hopes of God leading us to a new church home. And I believe God is going to bring us more and more Christian friends!! We are having Stacy and Dave over for dinner tomorrow night and I am SUPER excited! Plus fall will be here soon...cooler weather, changing leaves, football, holidays...I am a summer girl, but even I am ready for a change!
The doorbell just rang - UPS delivered my new bedspread!! Guess that's a sign that I need to get off my butt and get productive. Have a great day y'all :)
