I miss my Super Heros

This morning i drove to work thinking about a white chocolate mocha. I had decided to stop and pick up some sort of coffee drink on the way home. I was in Before School Program when in pops Miss Lisa with Hot Chocolate! I was so thankful for that warm hot liquid running down my throat. I miss the days that Miss Lisa and I taught our "Super Hero" class of preschoolers. The both of us would be exhausted (for various reasons) and would inevitably make our way to the pop machine for something to help us make it through the long afternoons, or eat some leftover snack. At the beginning of the year I hated that class because I was so used to being with Miss Melissa, and the kids really didn't get the whole school concept initially, but by the end of the year I think it was my favorite. We were more relaxed and our kids were so unique and funny. That was a good time-- I kind of miss the structure of being in a preschool class every day, and I miss Lisa being our daycare director or lead daycare teacher and the little encouraging notes that she would drop us for no reason. I do love the opportunity for publication that working less has given me, and I am so excited to finally be reaching for my calling, but I can't help but look back on those days with fondness.

Thanks, Carrie. I miss working with you guys, too. I won't say I necessarily miss being the Director, but I do miss the staff! And our preschool class was the best class ever, once they got a clue!

Hey, Car.
I was thinkin' about CFK last week. I have some interesting students in my second grade class, and I often catch myself looking back and thinking, "He reminds me of Mitchell," or, "Yep, that's Eugene right there!"
I miss those days, too!
