On a more positive note...

I think I felt a baby moving in my stomach yesterday. That was a pretty weird but amazing feeling. And I get an ultrasound on Tuesday. I'm already 16 weeks and I can't believe how fast it's flying by! I'm so grateful that we are being blessed with this baby. Thinking about him/her gets me through the hard weeks of teaching. Only 24 more weeks to go! P.S. We have decided not to find out the sex. Everyone seems shocked about our decision. Is that really so crazy?

Hell Week

I could not have possibly had one more thing to do this week. My final project was due for the lame class I'm being forced to take. So Tuesday I had to make sure that was finished and go straight from school to class. Wednesday and Thursday I had parent teacher conferences until 7:00. Science fair had to be done this week. (Science Fair is a whole blog entry itself...like a whole other dimension of hell. LUCKILY my whole family came and helped me one day. Bless them!) Also the District Writing Assessment had to be completed during the week. On top of this we had assemblies, short days, and various other things interrupting our already overscheduled days. During this time I am expected to still be teaching 9 hours worth of material in the less than 6 that I am given, plus teaching these kids to be good citizens, stop them from bringing knives to school, and get them to quit talking while I'm trying to teach math. Oh and did I mention that I only have 2 months left until CRT testing and probably 6 months worth of material to cover? At least it's Friday. We do have Monday and Tuesday off. Normally I would be happy about the long weekend if I wasn't so worried about the time I'm missing out on that I could be teaching line graphs and integers. I'm tired. Happy Valentine's Day!
