I didn't realize how occupied September was until it stopped.
This year at preschool, I have stepped into a lead teacher role. The beginning of school preparations (even for a class of two year olds) was very time consuming.
To add icing to the chaos of paperwork, room prep and lesson planning.... my mom fell down her stairs and broke her femur the night before I began the school year with my little ones.
The entire month of September quickly became consumed with learning kids, learning families, problem solving in the classroom, helping the
The leg break and following surgery were minor compared to the complications that followed. Mom spent a looonng twenty-four days in the hospital. There were some very scary days. It was quite the roller coaster. My Dad and sisters carried the brunt of advocating for my mom while the hospital tinkered away trying to fix her.
Thank God she is back at home and is currently scooting about with a cane. I am SO glad to see that there is some normalcy returning to my parents' routine.
Earlier this week....I had free time after work! I was almost confused by it.
I ate lunch and watched Netflix for the first time in months. (catching up on Call the Midwife. Must watch)
So....this is the life that I have been spoiled by for years. lol. I had really missed it during September.
October is brand new and I'm getting my groove back!
In the past week, I have jogged a 5K, attended a game night, gone to two movies, attended a Pound class, and had lunch with friends.
I clearly thrive on my socialization. I am thankful to get out and moving this month. :)
October is my favorite!
