Here we are already, at the end of summer... and for me, the end of my hiatus from the working world in order to be with my little baby girl. It's true I taught summer school and that got me a little bit back into the swing of things, but now that I am headed back full-time, it seems a little more serious... and permanent. I am sad about all the hours in the day that I'll miss in my little girl's life. I may have some weepy mornings for a while, but we all adjust to the eventualities and necessities of life, don't we.
Friday, which was to be our first full day of Cam with Zulda and Mira ended up being a day at home with me and Joel instead. Zulda's son was hospitalized suddenly and she had to cancel in the morning. It gave me one last day of hanging leisurely with my girl, but with 140+ students arriving in my classroom on Tuesday, I am feeling already behind and a little bit stressed out. I also had to ditch working on Thursday, due to a car with shot brakes. I'll be starting this year a little behind, but perhaps this is the new norm and I should just learn to deal with it.
Yesterday, Joel, Cam and I went to Tad Milbourn's wedding in La Honda. It was a beautiful outdoor ceremony with an indoor reception. We've gotten very used to being invited to Milbourn family events and aren't sure what will happen now that the youngest Milbourn is married off.
Today, I think we're headed off to the Eat Real Festival in Oakland - something I attended pregnant last year. Maybe this year I'll get a beer!
We'll keep you posted as we get into a new groove of life around here. Cam turns 8 months old on Monday. The last 8 months of my life have been transformative, challenging and more beautiful than I could have imagined. I have nothing but optimism that the new schedule will be different, but equally wonderful.
No doubt, posts will be a little more infrequent, but we'll do our best.
