I'm irrationally sad.

My district has a huge meeting at the end of the year to honor those teachers who are retiring.  Well, one of my teachers was honored this year.  She's cried a few times over the past few days and everyone keeps looking at her like she's crazy.  She should be so excited to be done!

I told her I kind of know how she feels.  When I was pregnant, all I wanted was to have my baby and not be pregnant anymore.  And then 2 days before my induction, I realized that I would never again feel my daughter's kicks.  I cried myself to sleep the night before going to the hospital.

 I figure that's kind of how she feels at this point, too.  Happy to be done with it, but sad that it's over.  Her life has entered this shiny new stage.

And of course when I thought of how I took my pregnancy, I started thinking of how I'd take my retirement.  I think I'll be that crying teacher that everyone looks at like she has two heads. Or maybe I just won't retire at all Stick out tongue

    I say every year I am going to change schools and I never do. I am so connected to that place it is not even funny! I will be the crying teacher too.

    I would be sad too. Think about how many people don't ever find a career that they are passionate about? She was lucky to do something she obviously loved.

    My MIL is a special ed teacher and she has retired every year for 10 years. It usually last the first 2 or 3 months of the school year.
