I used to love my job, little one. I used to think it was the greatest job in the world.
And though I guess I still love teaching, I haven’t felt quite the same since you were born. As much as I adore my students, my colleagues, the parents with whom I work, and everything else that goes into being a school teacher, I simply love you more. While I once looked forward to work each day with great enthusiasm and excitement, those feelings have tempered a bit knowing what I am missing at home.
So while I think of teaching as a wonderful job, and it’s still the best job for me, I can’t help but think that Mommy’s current position, staying home with you, would be an even better occupation.
Of course, when the last thing I see each morning before I leave is this, you can see why my heart breaks a little each time I head off to work.
I LOVE IT!
