My little baby is 3 1/2 years old, and now the one half becomes very important.

it's official
Today I received this letter in the mail:
Dear Ms. Olson:
At its regular board meeting held on Wednesday, January 4, 2012 the Palisades School Board accepted your letter of resignation from the Palisades School District as an English Teacher at the Palisades High School, effective December 21, 2011.
On behalf of the Palisades School Board, I wish to express our appreciation for your work at the Palisades School District.
Best Regards
And with that I have traded in my clean, organized classroom, lesson plans, and grading for my chaotic house, appointments and play dates, and time outs. Though I resigned before Christmas, the finality of it all makes my stomach ache.
And if one more person tells me to "enjoy every moment" I might just punch them in the gut. Really? Enjoy every moment? Is that possible? I have come to the conclusion that people forget how hard it is to have little children in your care all the live long day. And they forget how lonely it is. And they forget the mind-numbing monotony of it all.
Well, now I have oodles of time to remind them all: It's hard. It's lonely. It sometimes makes me feel crazy.
