Round Two

Sorry it has been a ridiculous amount of time since I last updated.  I’m not dead and no I didn’t abandon this sight.  Sadly my days look something like this:

6:00 - Get up and drag myself to work - sometimes bothered to shower, sometimes not so much

9:00 - Stare intently at computer and hope students think I’m working on something important while actually just napping with my eyes open

9:30 - Notice the aroma of school lunch being prepared even though I am no where near the kitchen. 

9:45 - Dig through purse to find $3.00 in change, because absolutely must have school sloppy joes even though I hate sloppy joes

9:50 - Wonder why I don’t teach 1st grade so I can have the 1st lunch time. Eat my snack in front of students while aimlessly trying to teach something.

12:00 - Inhale crappy sloppy joes and stare out window while wondering what would happen if I just didn’t pick my kids up from recess

1:00 - Realize that my kids have been silently reading for way longer than scheduled and quickly try to  catch up to where my lesson plans intended us to be

2:30 - Line up students so we can be the absolute first ones out of the school

2:35 - Feel horrible for being such a crappy teacher. Wonder how long I have to sit at my desk doing nothing before I can go home. Watch clock until 3:00. Leave building 30 minutes before I’m supposed to by sneaking out back door.

3:30 - Get home. Eat big bowl of Malt-O-Meal, because it’s all of a sudden food sent from heaven.

4:00 - Lay on couch, planning to watch Oprah.

7:00 - Wake up when Husband comes in. Realize never even found out Oprah’s topic of the day

7:15 - Eat dinner

7:30 - Go to Bed

I’m just so tired. When I’m not sleeping, I’m counting the time until I can sleep again. Sorry. The other downside of sleeping at least 12-14 hours a day is that nothing exciting happens to write about. Unless you count last night’s dream in which I was at Buckingham Palace wearing a wedding dress and stopped to ask Prince William where the bathroom was. Or a couple of weeks ago when I dreamt I ripped the shower curtain rod of the wall and was chasing Husband because I thought he had eaten my left-over mac and cheese.

Everything else here is going well. We had our nuchal translucency. Everything was normal. The best part was seeing the babies moving. I don’t know why, but I was totally unprepared for that. I promise I’ll update more soon. Today we’re at 13w2d. I’ve heard the energy returns in the 2nd trimester and I can’t wait!
