Parting is such sweet sorrow!

Feeling: bittersweet
Hey. Well it's Monday. Last night after I wrote I ended up going to our apt. pool & hottub with Sara, Ashlee, Andrea, and Whitney. I wore my new bathing suit, I love it! I love night time swimming, it's awesome. Me & Whit chatted about Old Navy b/c she just started working there. Then I rode with Ashlee (how weird lol) to get us some milkshakes at Sonic. YUM YUM. Anyways - I worked both jobs today. DId the 7:45-2 with Olivia and then went straight to Kids Place and worked my last 3 hours there. I am like so excited but sad at the same time. This is the 2nd time I have left those same kids. I love them all tons! When I got there at 3 Robin gave me a card that he r& Jennifer had made, it was sooo sweet. It was made out of construction paper. The outside was purple and had spring stickers on it and said "Ms. Kerri" and then the inside page said "We will miss you! Love, The Toddler Class" and then all of the next pages had all of the kids handprints in different paint colors and had their names by their hands. It touched my heart so much. I needed that. The rest of the day was pretty much "normal" until the kids started leaving one by one and then it hit me that I would never be their teacher again once they walked out that door...so I made sure I walked them all to their parents and got hugs from them. Especially Bailey & Benjamin. MY BABIES! I will miss them so much. Bailey's mom remembered and was like "Arent you gonna give Ms. Kerri a kiss" and so she did and said she'd miss me lol. Her mom wished me well and reminded me that Bailey was moving up next month anyways to the preschool building. Her mom is a sweetheart! That is where Bailey gets it. Benjamin is moving up next week ironically..so hey its all good anyways! He was the last one left since Sheryl works at the daycare so I volunteered to walk him over there. I told Sheryl I was taking him home with me and keeping him forever lol. She just said "OK"~ lol, she's so funny. Ben gave me lost of hugs, kisses, and cheek squeezers with his hands and then I finally left him! I didnt want to lol but it was after 6:00. Leaving the daycare is so bittersweet. But just like Crystal Lewis' song says "The thrill of soaring has to begin with the fear of fallign" which is so true, and in my case..the fear of falling is my fear of change...although sometimes I LOVE change, I fear it too. But I think this change will be very rewarding and I believe it will be a thrill. Anyways- got a lil deep there. I also hugged Darla, Lib, and Cindy bye. Casey (the new chic takin my place) is real sweet and she was like "I wish you weren't quitting"...yea I think me & her would have worked well together. But oh well! What a loong day! Now I am sittin ghere in between cleaning. Need to go finish!! buh bye!
