bacon.

bringin' it home, that is!
i started working at my old job this week,
and i have loved it.
i forgot how much i love the people i work with,
and those amazing little kids.

sometimes i feel like i have no idea what i am doing with my life.
(like right now).
but the second i pick up that first baby
or help a kid with a math problem
i remember that i am just supposed to be a mommy.
some women are meant to be astronauts or the president...
not me.
i am realizing that i am meant to:
-be constantly spit up on.
-change a million diapers a day.
-sing silly songs while dancing like a loon.
-rock little babies to sleep.
-ultimately, be a mommy.

some of my favorite things this week:
-"miss anne... come here." (i come there.) "i just wanted to tell you that you are beautiful."
-a 5 year old pointing out that you have the same jacket as her because you got yours in a child size.
-"miss anne i really like your earrings, they are just gorgeous! even if you didn't have them on, i would still know that you have gorgeous earrings at home."
-celebrating the first birthday of a little girl that you held a few weeks after she was born.
-people yelling your name down the hallway and running to hug you when they see that you are back.
-helping an 11 month old take some of his first steps.
-being thanked for knowing how to stack bowls correctly. (obviously one of my many skills.)
-watching a brother and sister hug each other through the fence during recess.

i just love being back in these kids' lives.
