How to be prepared???

So, as you may know, I am due to have our daughter, Ariya, this Saturday! Well, that is my due date but it really could happen anytime! I am very excited! Also, you may know that I am a third grade teacher so leaving my kids for 8 weeks is not an easy task. I like to be in control of things! But, one thing that I have had to do is be prepared constantly. Every day when I leave my classroom, I have my substitute binder (which I'll post a pic of later!), my lesson plans and my daily behavior chart all laid out just in case something happens! It is amazing how much my life has changed since I started to become more prepared. I can't just leave school at night and say, "oh, I'll do that tomorrow", cause I may be in the hospital tomorrow! I have to be ready. But what this has shown me is how important it is to be prepared. I have not come home with work to do at night cause I get it all done at school just in case I don't come back. It is truly amazing. Also, I have become addicted to pinterest lately and have gotten some AMAZING ideas from it. I now have an absent folder for kids who are absent, and my sub binder just to name a few. I think tomorrow, I am going to take pics of what I have used from pinterest and do an "ode to pinterest" blog soon! How cool would that be??? Anyway, being prepared is awesome and I really think that this should continue even after I go back to work in March! I hope all of you can get prepared. If you're a teacher, I would LOVE to help you out!! So, have a great evening everyone and stay prepared!
