Ever heard of the seven year itch?? It's when teachers get really tired of what they do after seven years. I'm in that boat professionally and personally. Professionally....teaching fucking sucks this year. Personally....i'm in the seven month itch!!
Haven't blogged in FOREVER!!! I have seriously been overwhelmed w/ work this year and I can't figure out what the hell i'm doing wrong to be in this situation. Here it is 4:22pm on a friday and I'm still at work! I just finished grading this week's work....yikes!!!
Anywho, I just got caught up w/ your lives...i've missed a lot in my own little world!!
Kara -- Justin, say whaaa???
Rita -- loving the empowring motivational wagon symbolism and happy anniversary!
Me -- actually been eating okay. I've been on a salad fix and have eaten a salad for dinner every night this week. Unfortunately, i did ruin the salads by having french fries too :( Nonetheless, i've been focused on snacking less and eating only when i'm hungry (which is always).
Weight - 236. This is going to continue to go up; especially these last two months. Supposedly i'm going to gain about a pound a week. How awful does that sound??? Half of that lb goes to the baby, so that's a plus and the ONLY reason why i'm handling this weight gain madness!! Also, it would be really beneficial if my child would remove himself from my sciatic nerve. HOLY SHIT THIS MESS IS PAINFUL! Kara can witness that my waddle has enhanced quite a bit due to my pain in the ass (literally).
Postive side to my negativeness -- I only have two more months of pregnancy and i get to feel the baby move so much! He responses to my voice when i'm teaching so he's constantly rolling around -- i know it sounds weird, but it truly is the coolest thing to feel your child and know how close he is to you.
With it getting so close to labor, my emotions are every bit of CRAY CRAY! I'm nervous, excited, and just so sad that Alli isn't here for this.
Okay, i've officially caught you ladies up! I'm going to try and get through this weekend of LOTS OF GRAD WORK and then start fresh next week!!
Ri Ri - have a safe trip to hatteras :)
Kara - i'll holler at you for some Saturday fun! :)
and LYLAS is officially brought back in style!!
Hang in there Kristina - you're doing great! Work is work...I feel like sometimes I am excited about work, most time I'm not...I think that's a mutual feeling...amongst the whole entire working force.
ReplyDeleteAs for the baby - nothing you can do about that but sit back and enjoy the ride...I love how you are trying to see the positive in all this - beside the pain and discomfort...it probably is a truly rewarding experience and you'll probably miss it when it's gone - so it's good that you are finding the positives and savoring the moment.
