Yes, yet another lesson in life for me today. My mom's time is very limited. QA that I have been waiting a very long time for showed up today. Yes.. today. I got two texts , one from Beth that said Quality ., Oh _____ ! :) And one from Randy that said Marcy is here. We have been prepared for a long time . The kids know what to do. We know what to do. I was not worried at all. I felt sad for Randy and Beth trying to take over a control freaks job... :) But, I am SURE they did a great job and got excellent scores.
I know what was on the lesson plans today, but I don't know what they got accomplished. I can assure you this. They had GREAT language interactions today ( and every day ) they washed their hands a lot today ( and every day ) . A few of the girls were reminded not to stick their hand in the toilet . ( WHAT IN THE WORLD! NEVER has this happened, but today... )
And I will never regret not leaving my mom today to go to preschool. My helpers rock. Thanks Randy, Beth and Jodie. Love you .
Oh.... the new life lesson I learned today. I can be replaced. :)
Because we know it is all about the play !

Oh, of course QA showed up! Poor Beth...I can just feel her panic! But you can never get today back...so you were exactly where you needed to be.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm not so sure you can be replaced. I think you just had everyone and everything so very well prepared.
You poor thing, what a situation to be placed in and how blessed you are to have such capable substitutes. As a new reader, I hope you find some level of inner peace at what must be a very difficult time.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, I've been so busy, I've not been checking in on you, I am so very sorry to hear about your mom, I pray God hand of comfort and care on her and the family.
ReplyDeleteI will be checking in on you, but it sounds as if you have a great group to call on, and I know that makes your days a bit easier.
Blessings, Linda
