I wish I had more time to share events in our lives. Not that our lives are terribly interesting. It's pretty mellow here actually. Work, make dinner, walk, play cards, snooze. That's pretty much our routine, but I have enjoyed the creation of these routines, the sharing of simple times and simple goals. "What are we going to eat for dinner?" That's a tough one sometimes. All and all I can't complain.
Today seemed long though. My belly, though big really hasn't affected my lifestyle too much, though this week it has started to get kind of crampy and sometimes my students think I'm in labor because I'll grimace as the baby deals a big kick or blow to some part of my body that isn't used to kicks and blows. Yesterday there was a huge fight outside of my classroom. I liked that I didn't have to get involved due to the baby. It was a mess. Six girls rolled out of the stairwell all throwing blows and hurling obsenities at eachother.
We're all in the countdown here. 15 days till the end of school (only 7 with my rotten juniors who I only see every other day). 5 weeks till the baby. 4 weeks till the moms come. a few projects to get down before our lives change forever. We have to come up with some final name ideas, which is still a hard thing for us. I'm not telling our ideas anymore (now that we've started brainstorming again) cause I really can't have somebody ruin a name for me by saying, "Oh that name sucks," or "I know someone with that name..." I'm just not going to say; please don't take offense. The truth is we're not decided at all.
I'm ready for a weekend or something. The kids are crazy and though pregnancy supposedly makes you mellow, I can only stand so much. Luckily for me, many students are being suspended at this point for fights or whatever, leaving the rest of us some peace occassionally. I can't wait to go home and sew. And sleep in on Saturday. And go for a long walk.
