Stuff to Blog About
I've been teaching half day kindergarten for almost three weeks. It sucks. It sucks bad. Teachers always say," I could never teach fifth grade. How can you do that? The attitudes would drive me crazy!" I would take a classroom full of 30 fifth graders over 18 kindergartners that can't tie their own shoes; can't write their names; can't use a pair of scissors; can't raise their hands if they want to talk; and can't stand still for a measley 30 seconds of silence!!!! I taught all day today, morning and afternoon. It is just very frustrating for me- I'd rather have an abnoxious 11 year old who thinks I'm funny, than cute- almost- 5 year olds. I am thankful to have this job- only 3 more weeks- actually 2 and a half. The money is okay and we need it. In October, I'll be calling the computer searching for decent sub jobs. Two and a half more weeks-I can be thankful and complain about it sucking at the same time can't I?
Jack has become more active in the last week. I think I can just feel him more as he's getting bigger. I still don't think anybody else could feel it, which is a frustrating time because it is a joyful feeling that you just want to share. It is weird to think about having a boy. I always wanted a boy, but it feels very weird. I am the mother of girls who like to wear dresses (with pockies); play babies and Barbies; paint fingernails etc... Will Jack be an athlete? an artist? a stage hog? a wimp? a Star Wars geek? will he also like Hello Kitty? Who knows- it seems simpler with girls. It will be a fun adventure.
It makes me so sad when people don't blog. I click on people's names and....nothing, the same stuff I already read. I think I like blogs, because I can find out about people (which I love because I am very nosey) without having to have a conversation with them (which I hate, because I suck at interpersonal relationships with people I don't know well). Anyway, if you read my blog, chances are, I read yours so please blog more often- at least for me.
Doug is on the phone right now trying to set up our Survivor pool. The new season starts Thursday at 8:00. There will be a kickoff watching at our house at about 9:15. That's right, we're such big fans that we have to wait an hour to watch it after we tape it because our kids go to bed at 8:30. Such is life- at least we don't have to watch the commercials. If you don't know about the pool, give us a call, we might have spots left- you might win some money. If you want to watch the premiere- come on over, Thursday at 9:00.
