But I would by lying if I didn't say that I missed my job. I love-love-love teaching Kindergarten. I heart five and six year-olds. There is just something about that age and their sweet innocence that is so refreshing. I love seeing the world through their eyes! However, I saw this video that someone posted on Facebook about parent-teacher conferences (and it's so true!) that reminded me that being a teacher isn't always so fun....
Now that I'm not in the classroom, I miss it more than I realize. In time, I've forgotten about all those not-so-fun parts of my job and can look back on it with nostalgia. I've forgotten about the difficult parents, the stacks upon stacks of papers to grade, the disgusting amount of work I brought home each evening & weekend...but I remember the sweet, fun moments like this and this.
Although I do miss teaching Kindergarten, I have a great new job. Now I'm spending my days loving on this sweet girl. :)
That video was a classic and so much of it was true! I, too miss my job teaching but when people ask me if I miss my job, I tell them that I do but that I can always go back to teaching but I can't go back and get this time with my sons. I feel very blessed and love my job! So glad you do, too! :)
