It's Wednesday!

   It's arms and abs day for me. I love doing arms......abs not so much, lol. I have abs, they're just under 3 layers of something else, haha! Nah, I don't have any abs so this is going to be hard. Sit ups hate me and I'm not so fond of them myself, lol. But hey, if it doesn't hurt than it's not doing me any good. Pain is my friend right now, lol. Pain is the fat screaming out because it's dying, haha. Believe it or not I actually really like being sore. It a good kind of pain. Which still sucks but it's a good kind of pain that makes me feel accomplished. But I hope tonight I can set myself at a better pace so I don't over do it or become exhausted before my muscles does. That was my favorite thing the first time I did it. My muscles got tired before I did. But I was pushing it a bit too much Monday and I definitely get exhausted before my muscles did because I was so concentrated on beating the clock but tonight I need to focus more doing the workout and doing it right at a safe pace. I'll make more progress this way. It's not doing me any good to try and beat the clock. I need to focus on doing things right. Progress not perfection. 

   So today is Wednesday and I'm kind of sad. I don't want this week to be over. It's my last week doing this maternity leave in a special needs class. I'm not ready to go. It's become a part of my everyday life. Of course I miss all the other students that I'm with a lot but I'm really going to miss these guys. They are so sweet! I might have grown attached, lol. I will be back in here again at the end of April for a week while one of the ladies goes on vacation and I'm looking forward to that. And I'm sure that I'll be in there at other points the rest of the year. But to think that this is my last week in here...it just went by so fast! I'm not really sure I'm going to do with myself! These kids are so sweet and whether or not I've made a difference in their lives, they have definitely made a difference in my life! So much! And the teachers I've been working with are great! Most people I've worked with just kind of brush off the sub in the room and make us the errand runner, lol. But these ladies are great! They totally welcomed me in and really made me feel like I was in the part of the room! I couldn't be more thankful for the team I've been placed with for the last 3 months. I will miss them just as much as I will miss the kids. I'm not going to lie, when I accepted this job I was really nervous and ready for it to be over before it even started. I had never been a companion to one student like this before. I had worked with her before but it was last year and the teachers in the room pretty much did the difficult things for me but since I was going to be in here for a while I knew that I was going to have to learn to do it all myself and I was quite nervous about it but it's been so good! I'm not saying it's been all glamour but I've definitely learned a lot and have grown to love these kids! I'm really going to miss them. I'm just going to do my best to really enjoy and love on them these next two days. From our little jokes, hugs, playing basketball to my little afternoon buddy and all in between, lol. I'm going to miss them. But I definitely plan on dropping in on them from time to time. So as sad as it all is it's not the end, lol. I also plan on going to Special Olympics with them too. I'm looking forward to that!
