Back to School/Work

Well today is the 1st day of school and work for me after being off for 74 days. I'm glad to have something to do again. I trying to start a fresh start this year. I have been very selfish lately and I need to change.

This morning was hard for me, my oldest Elisabeth is now a middle school-er and I will not see her during the day and I will not be here when she gets home. I know she will do great, she is so grown up and I wish her all the luck and happiness in middle school. She is nervous because she was one of the top dogs last year and now she is at the bottom again. The one good thing is that she has some great friends and she will also be in a school that has some church members there. for the past year she and her sister have been the only members at her school.

Evelyn, was so excited for school to start, she has her 1st grade teacher again this year (Miss Nussbaum last year moved up from 1st to 3rd grade) her dad makes fun of her teacher because nussbuam in German means "nut tree", but we like nutty teachers they are so fun and they teach you so much with out you even knowing that you are learning.

I start my 2nd year as a full-time school bus driver. I have the same kids that I ended the year with last year. I was so glad to see them this year it was great to hear about their summer. I am also still working i the lunchroom at Evelyn's school again, and as the girls keep telling me I am the one in charge, as Miss Patsy has moved on to doing custodial work full-time. that leaves me as the senior Lunchroom monitor. Not that I really have to boss anyone around but I know everyone will come to me when something goes wrong.

I can't say my usual here of "Been There, Done That..." because this is the 1st time I have sent a child off to middle school. So I guess I will say Good Luck to both of my girls, I believe in you and love you.
