Finally, at 36 weeks, I am on maternity leave. It is quite strange to think that for the next 4 months or so I won’t be returning to work.
To be honest, I have never – in my time working at my school – worked so hard as the past four months. I wanted to have everything ready and in order for my replacement and up until last Monday school hadn’t found anyone to replace me yet. Fortunately, they hired a replacement on Monday and I was able to hand all my work over to him on Tuesday, which was my last day.
It will require some serious effort on my part to “let go” and not worry about work. Just another life lesson, I suppose.
