My school year is quickly coming to an end and the stress of taking down my classroom, getting report cards done, and wrapping it up with my students makes for a stressful time of year. Knowing that I had so much to do, Rob brought the kids down to my class so he could help out. Rob worked on taking butcher paper down, while Ry and Jake watched TV, Luke just ran a muck and destroyed my class :)! Sitting there I was overcome by how truly blessed I am. Our life is not easy and at times can be beyond overwhelming, but knowing Rob has my back gives overwhelming comfort. It was after 6 when he got there and worked until after 7 to get it all done. I loved having my kids there with me, getting to share my home away from home with them and having them be a part of the job I love most after being their mom.
I would give anything to be a stay at home mom and get to be there for my own kids. Many days I feel like I let them down, because I get pulled in so many different directions and they need so much more than I can give. But just having them in my classroom, feels so right. Knowing that they are part of me and make me who I am. They make me a better teacher and are in my thoughts every second I am dealing with my students. I love them all so much and often wonder how I got to be so lucky! Being their mom is an amazing blessing, getting to teach and be their mom is beyond words!
