Thoughts

So today I (AnnMarie) was able to observe the teacher who is going to be taking my place at Alliance Kids. I'm sure my feelings were a slight overreaction just because their "my" kids and I am sad to be leaving them. But I couldn't stop thinking about how my kids are going to grow up pronouncing things like, "Touch your head" as t-oh-ch your gghh-ea-th. That gghh is the sound of a "j" in Spanish, which we don't have in English, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to spell. So... if you got it, great. If not, oh well.

It's hard seeing the person who's going to be taking over and teaching my kiddos.. just knowing she's not going to do things the same way I do. And I'm not saying I do everything the right way and the best way but it's still just difficult to imagine! I'm going to be sad leaving them and not hearing their cute little things they say like, Joaquin with his random, "AnaMarie? Te amo." And during circle time pointing at their friends saying, "Samuel no está apple sauce!" Referring, of course, to sitting criss-cross applesauce. Or their cute accents when they say thank you, more juice please, look at me, estoy finished, and so much more.

I know I'll be very happy to be home because I miss everyone so much but I will miss my Fantastic Fish.

Well, that's all for now! I'm not moping around being depressed about leaving, it's just something that I think about every now and then.

p.s. I have officially accepted the job (for August 2011) so they're working on getting paperwork ready for me. ALSO, my friend Jess has her own little business of very cute random things (adult and child hair pieces and some home decor). Check it out : ) http://love2liebe.blogspot.com/
