The sub seems to have been pretty good to my kids, but the room is a mess. I have a new little boy that is a crier- but once I started to speak to him in Spanish, he immediately stopped crying and started to smile. I think he'll be fine in a few days.

I don't know if anyone remembers me talking about a little girl I have that has eye problems- called aniridia- the absence of an iris. They finally got her help! We have been working on it for so long! She is going to get glasses, and tinted contacts that will serve as an iris for her. Finally something is getting done! I have been fighting for this girl all year!

I really do love my job- but I love my girls more. I wish I could stay home, but dh just doesn't make enough money. And we had to buy a new car since we were having so much trouble with ours. So there definately isn't money to stay home.

coasterqueen replied: Awww HUGS. I'm sorry you have to go back to work. I remember having to do that after Kylie was born, I was so crushed. I can't believe I'll have to go through that again. It's one thing a mother should not have to do.

Alice replied: I'm sorry you are unhappy about going back-- it was a killer both times I had to do it. (I quit teaching at the end of the school year after Julia was born.)

Of course, the great thing is that summer is just a few months away!!!

But how great that you enjoy your job. I doubt many people have that goin' for them. Glad to hear something will be done for that little girl.

loveydad replied: 6 weeks already!? Goodness!
