1. While I don't really want to go to work, I will be fine going back to work. Because the students haven't liked my long term sub, and it's been a bad experience for them, that they won't push me really hard because it's easy to follow a horrible act.
2. The faculty at South Hills is amazing! They will support me and it will be fun to see them more frequently. They also understand how hard it's going to be and are there for me.
3. I just need to make the decision to live by faith and not fear that all will be well. Yesterday and today I have made that choice and life is a whole lot better. There is power in positive thinking!
4. By going back to work, I have the power to leave it at school. I worked very hard so my sub could replace me and I think that's why I've been getting frustrated. I tried so hard to create my procedures and way things work so she could come in and not need me. However, she has called on average 3 times a week--and most of the questions she has asked I could care less about. All she needed to do was make a decision and I would have been pleased with the outcome. But with me being in charge, then I can leave it at school and not worry about it when I come home. I also won't have someone else calling me and asking me questions about grading late work.
5. I have an amazing family! You guys are awesome and have helped me realize just how blessed I am. I will have support from you guys as I try to survive these last really bad 10 weeks.
6. Last but not least--the baby hero will not remember that I left him for 10 weeks, nor will he care. He won't be adversely affected for this and will bear no permanent scarring from this. It will also be great bonding time for the Bug Hero, my Hero, with the Baby Hero.
The baby hero is happy and content. I really love this guy! He spends most of the day awake and happy to be around. He talks quite a lot, and while this movie may not be the best--he has some high squeaks and squeals that we would like to have others enjoy as much as we do, he doesn't like preforming for a camera. We just love him! He's content to sit on the couch or ground and listen to us talk to him or around him. He's wonderful!

I like how your mom puts dashes in between her words. I wonder why she does that? Could it be that her space bar is broken? :)
I just wanted to wish you luck as you go back to school! You can do it. I had to do the same when I was teaching, and it was hard, but I made it, and you are right, Baby Hero will be no worse for wear. Hang in there. It is almost the end of the school year!
