Maternity Leave

So I went in to school yesterday to get unpacked and to do a little work on my maternity plans.  I have been procrastinating getting started on these, because they are more than a little daunting.  How do you tell someone what you'd like them to do with your kids in 7 weeks before you've even gotten to meet those kids & find out what they can do?  I suppose I could wait until it gets closer to when I am going to leave, and I will be making updates to it as I go.  But, what if I have to leave sooner than I thought?  I want to be ready.  Also, I know I'm going to be pretty tired once school does start up again, so I don't want this to fall to the side.  The good news is I got a good start on it yesterday, and I'm feeling like it's a bit more manageable, but there is still a lot that I have to sort out before I can really be clear with it.  The other good news is that my sub will be Jane McCole, who is phenomenal!  I was so excited when I found out that she had agreed to do this.  I'll admit it does take a little of the pressure off to write these immaculate plans.  I can give her some benchmarks and let her take it from there.  Just trying to relax about this a bit, which is hard given that I am very uptight about school stuff...
