Day 10: Bye Bye Kids.....

June 17, 2013

I had to go to a professional development this morning. It wasn't looking forward to getting up and going to the PD because I was going to be away from Corrie and the kids. We have really enjoyed getting a chance to hang out as a family this summer.  My training was on Interactive Notebook in science.  I got a chance to hang out with some former teachers from my previous schools.

I met a teacher from one of my former trainings whom I helped out several years ago in hard spot. We were both at this training where we were having her emotions toyed with before we started learning about the theory behind their way of teaching. Well this teacher had shared with her group that she had recently  broken up with her boyfriend from high school and college. I write her an encouragement note because we were encouraged to do this during the three day training. 

She told me that she met her eventual husband that day and had kept that card over the last six years.

That evening as I was finished I texted Cherita to ask her if it was still okay to bring the kids tomorrow since both Corrie and I had  trainings on Tuesday together. CHerita told us that she had finally gotten the virus that had gone through the whole group at the daycare. Cherita couldn't keep them so we scrambled to see who could keep them for two days. 

I called my mother who I knew was doing summer school and she still said that she would take them. Granny would keep them while she was at summer school and my mom would take them in the afternoon. It was perfect. We met mom at Chilli's in Fairmont Parkway and were able to eat dinner and hand the babies off. We don't get time to ourselves much, but when we do it is very unexpected.
