See you around!

Hi SN friends,

I don't post or comment much but I am on almost everyday reading your thoughtful, informative, and hilarious discussions. Today's our last day of school and I am "temporarily retiring" to pursue my dream job---staying at home with my babies. I had #2 this past spring and I'm excited (but nervous---will I enjoy it as much as I think I will? Because the whole toddler trying to adjust to new baby thing is kicking. my. butt!) I just wanted to thank you all for your wisdom and humor these last 5 years of school nursing.

And OldDude, a special thank you for always reminding us how our children are only on loan to us for a short time. I can't tell you how many times your words have crossed my mind. I am sad to leave my school but excited to make the very most of the time I get with my little ones.

I plan to return to school nursing when I'm done having babies and the youngest is in school and hoping all of you will still be around here to help me ease back in! Have a fantastic, well-deserved summer!

    Good luck. The one thing that I always remembered those years that I was home with my kids was that I would never look back one day and think "Gosh, I sure wish I had never stayed home with them". Enjoy your babies and school nursing will always be here when you are ready to come back.

    I stayed home with mine and wouldn't change a second of it!

    I am in a similar position- except with baby #1 and anticipating I will likely also stay home through baby #2 starting school- with mixed feelings but somehow also certain this is the right choice for me. I too hope to return to school nursing and also hope this great board and group will still be here when I return. I will probably still peek in once in a while in the meantime. Best of luck to you, your little ones, and everyone here and their little ones (both at home and at school)!
