Really. I mean really?
Where to start? I have so many things…where to start and will I ever finish?
Well–most recently–the sub (you know,the one that actually came by my classroom and introduced himself to me…the one that WANTED or NEEDED my position) just backed out of the sub job via email after being incommunicado for weeks. I had a sneaking suspicion he was going to do this when he quit responding to my emails but I just chalked it up to paranoia. I hope Mary can find an excellent replacement because I’ve been promising my kids that they’ll have someone fabulous. Now I feel like a big fat liar. So, yeah, REALLY??!!
And what’s up with students emailing in a panic the NIGHT before an assignment is due because they’ve lost the assignment sheet. Um, hello. You’ve had it since DECEMBER…ya think you could’ve asked before NOW??? Even better…is the accusatory tone from said students about why I did not respond more quickly to panicked email. SERIOUSLY??? OMG.
Less important but still…I have a huge watermelon appendage growing on me. Is it possible to be this huge? Notes to self the next time an inkling of baby fever strikes:
- consistent sleep is pretty much gone forever
- feet, what feet? oh you mean those things you have to somehow ‘dress’ every school day with out tipping over…now that’s a blast.
- heartburn. need i say more?
- the flab…why???
- who doesn’t love being shaped like the letter D, really? Is there a better letter??
- pregnancy brain–kind of like being a blonde, only better.
The list could be endless. But my eyelids are heavy and I have miles to go before I sleep.
Before I sign off, though. I do have to say that as miraculous as having a child grow inside of you is…it’s also a bit strange. If you think about having another human being inside of you and what that feels like…it’s mind-blowing. Sometimes it’s intrusive. Sometimes amazing. Many times uncomfortable. But, really? having another HUMAN BEING GROWING INSIDE OF YOU???? nuts.
