Jake and Claire and I all went back to school (or at least to CAMP). I went to work and they are at camp at my school. It started yesterday and and today, after 3 weeks at home with Mommy, Claire announces that she "doesn't like school and she'd like to go home now". This was about 5 mins after I took her to her room. She did get over it and ended up having a fun day.
Jake is having a great time having kids to play with all day. he is so easy going when it comes to this sort of thing. He'd MUCH rather go than stay home.
My school is very large and serves a clientele that is made up of primarily upper middle class to extreme upper class families with mostly stay at home moms. WE do not live very from the school, so the areas that we live, work and play in all mingle together. I can't go ANYWHERE without running into someone from my school. Sometimes it's nice and others, I find myself ducking and going the other way to avoid the awkward conversation. Yesterday I was at the pool when a mother came up to me and started talking about the first day of camp and how she was sure all would settle down, but that she was a bit uneasy about her 2 year old's class....and BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!! Geez!!! I am trying to relax and enjoy a nice afternoon swimming with my kids. I am happy yo talk with you and all, but does it have to be about my work?!
This stuff happens to me ALL THE TIME! Don't get me wrong... I really love my job and my school, but sometimes I don't think people realize that I have my own life and kids to pay attention t just like they do and that just because I am the director at their child's school, that doesn't mean that that is all I am.
Thanks for letting me VENT...
On a happier note, I just found out that my sister is pregnant with a baby GIRL!! And that my cousin is TOO. They are due within a week or so of each other. I am so excited to be having a niece :-)
