Back to work...

Ah! I went back to work last week for a class. I am now (partially) qualified to teach GATE students. While the class was interesting and informative, I was so tired of sitting all day! Which I think is funny because I have been on my butt all summer! Maybe because I had to think while sitting!
Today and tomorrow I have even more training... I really am going to be a highly effective teacher! Oops, I mean, I already am! Then Monday, I meet the kids! I don't know if I am ready for them! I am reading their cards and the ones saying "disrespectful to authority" or "does nothing" really thrill me! Was there nothing positive to say? I am trying to avoid forming an opinion until I meet them. Honestly though, I can handle the kids... I am worried about the parents! Will they be supportive, or will I be the teacher who can do no right?

Pregnancy...
Isn't it too early to have cankles at the end of the day? I used to have ankle bones... but by 3:30, they are gone! I had Scott check my blood pressure and it is perfect, so it must just be the standing and the heat!

Heartburn... gotta love it! TUMS is my new best friend! I take him everywhere I go!

It's only going to get better! Amy send me a blog of birth stories! HELLO! Are you trying to scare the crap out of a first time mom? I don't want to know these until I have my own to share! 36 hours of labor, stitches, crazy mean nurses, 12 lb babies... I don't want to know! Let me live in my delusion that I will be in labor for 5 hours, push for 15 min and have a perfect baby whose head is round, not cone shaped! Reality will hit soon enough! I am still adjusting to my boobs growing and the thought my clothes might not fit tomorrow! I don't watch Baby Story for these reasons!

She also says I should shake things up a bit...
But I'm scared! I can't reveal too much about my life because 1) people can do a google search and find this page, so I wouldn't want any parents to read how crazy I really am... 2) family reads it too, so I can't gripe about Scott :) or go into too many details. I wouldn't want to come off as blunt or too offensive, although I know I can be at times! and 3) I can't remember half the stuff that happens throughout the day because my brain cells are slowly dying off!

Oh, but I did think of something funny...
