Thers's a rumbly in my tumbly

The past couple of weeks have been filled with so much movement in my tummy and I love it. I know what you are thinking: "Soon the kicks will become so violent that I won't be smiling anymore," As I have heard from experienced moms. But for now, I love it!

It is days like today...

...that make me think that my maternity leave can not get here soon enough. Can I just leave now please. I had a wonderful long weekend filled with yummy food, walks on the beach, sister's birthday and a lot of snuggled up in bed time. It could not have been better. And then today roles around. Teenagers are so egocentric! They can not believe that for one minute my priority might not be them. "What do you mean you have to use the restroom and eat on your lunch break Mrs. Pompey? But I need your help right now! Not in 15 minutes." Part of this is my fault. Earlier in my preganancy and in years past, I definitly did put off my needs to help students right when they needed it, but those days are over. I could not believe it today when I told a kid to come to my room 15 minutes into lunch because he needed some help. Well of course he did not listen and showed up right away, and then he was appauled when I told him to come back "I have other things to do Mrs. Pompey," he stated with an attitude. Oh I'm sorry that my peeing schedule interferes with your plans but sorry! I ran out of my rrom to do what I needed, came back 10 minutes later and there were 20 kids outside of my room. No lie...20!!!!!! And they all needed something. Is it too much to ask to have 30 minutes in the middle of the day to sit and eat. I don;t know how much longer I can last. :)

On a brighter note...the nursery is coming along (thanks to my wonderful friend Kate). I will post some pictures soon :)
