🌷 03/07/2023 Life Update 🌷

 

Good evening lovelies 💓I am so content to report that the rumors I encountered were true and that Nike was hosting a generous sale where many of their shoes were forty percent off! I totally took advantage of it and was able to purchase two pairs of shoes for work. I'm not a fan of sneakers, and I'm picky when it comes to buying any article of clothing, but thankfully I was able to find two styles that are cute and provide support for my feet. I'm up all day fulfilling my usual tasks, whether it's carrying little hummingbirds when they want to be carried, or ensuring the heavier equipment they interact with and play with is appropriately stored, so needless to say I'm more than delighted with my purchases. Not only that, I gifted myself a pair of baggy cargo pants and a plain white tee and wore those to work with my new kicks and received many compliments, so I feel extra happy 💅 Today's workday wasn't too busy since many of the kiddies were absent because their parents were probably granted the day off and understandably chose to spend the day together instead.

As I shared in the previous post, I really love my job and feel a great sense of fulfillment. Being around the kiddies makes me so happy, and I knew it would, but not to this degree. There was a part of me that feared that having this many toddlers would exhaust me, and yes, physically it does, but instead of deterring my desire to become a parent, it only exacerbated it. It's also inspired me to want to become a better educator, to the point where I'm considering getting an MS in behavior psychology. Last week, as I was cradling a little hummingbird who was having trouble falling asleep for nap time, their little head rested on my chest as their tiny hands fidgeted with the rings on my fingers, I thought to myself how little and new to the world they are and wondered what kind of person they'll grow up to be. As educators, we are limited in our time with our children, and therefore I hope the time we all spend together is gracious for them like it is for me. And not just for my new students but also for the elementary school students and high school students I once had too.

A parent gifted the other teachers and me some cookies 💓

Like always, thanks again for visiting my blog and taking the time to read my thoughts 🌸 I hope everyone is having a safe and cozy night. I was told the full moon will seem bigger than usual tonight so I hope everyone can enjoy it too 💘
