Back to work...
...for a day!
I'm going into school tomoz for the day, not to teach but to sort out some PE stuff and I'll get paid too! We can have 10 'keeping in touch' days whilst on mat leave so I've offered myself as supply teacher if given enough notice!
Gracie's going to my mum n dads and it's like i'm packing for a holiday! Hubby's dropping off the play gym, bouncer and pram 2nt so it's easier and quicker in the morning. Luckily, i don't have to be in any earlier than 9am and will leave at 3.15. I'm actually looking forward to it as i get on with everyone really well (apart from the witch teaching my class, my poor babies!) and it'll be easy money!
Just got to iron some clothes other than my jeans...!

I'm really not looking forward to getting back to work - mainly because of leaving the children and I'll have to find a job and start at a new school - 3 years out of the classroom - eek - a bit daunting to face a group of teenagers again!!

let us know how it goes

I'm the same as hunibuni and taking Amy in to see everyone next week, as I haven't been near the place since I went on maternity leave at the begining of Dec!
I'm dreading the thought of going back to work, mainly as I was so miserable in my job before. I've actually told them that I'm not going back till December but oh and I have been talking about the possibility of me getting another job (part-time - yay!) and not having to go back to my old job - watch this space!
Was quite funny as went in to sort out some PE stuff and train some Y5 kids in Play leading but ended up for the 1st hour in a Y5/6 class doing D&T with junior hacksaws and hot glue guns! Told the kids I didn't want any blood or burns!!!
Gracie was a very good girl at g&g's. My dad took her on the park and said he really wanted to see someone he knew to show her off. He's smitten!
El - part time sounds great, i really hope my hubby gets this promotion. He works in a PRU but a friend who's a head of a special school wants him, providing this chap retires...we'll know mid April.
I did 2day week/ 3 day week which was brill, meant only had staff mtg when on the 3 day week! My jobshare partner wants me back too...can't let her down!
Em - the woman in my class is weird...she poles dances (and demonstrates in the staff room!) and has been horrid to staff and kids alike. If you've been to the moon, she's been there twice (other people's words, not mine!).
It is daunting going back but you'd soon get back into it - did you enjoy it?
Rachel - sounds like you need a new change, as I'd hate to have to go back to a job I hated.
Having some vino know....ahhhh! x
I'm about to have a glass of the red stuff too! x
Rach - definately look for another job. It's too big a part of your life to spend your time hating it.
Em - I know exactly what you mean about the marking and paperwork. I'd like to add the awful Inset and training courses to the list. It always make me laugh when people think we work 9 til 3 and get loads of holiday. I say your welcome to have a go yourself!
Ali - your replacement sounds awful I meet plenty of people like that, I bet everyone can't wait for you to come back! (obviously they would feel that way anyway but considering the moon walking pole dancer aswell, doubily so!)
As for going into work with baby I must be really sad because it was our lo first trip out! I took him into work to see everyone when he was 3 days old.
Well it's 6:30 I think it's time for a bubble bath, glass of vino and a book for an hour.
