...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 :)

Crazy kids!!! "I have other things to do"?!!!!! My, my!! I bet they don't think for a second that you do not get paid for those 30 minutes! Don't they realize that you are pregnant and need to pee and eat?! And that even when you are not pregnant a teacher needs to pee and eat. Sigh. It will go by fast. Not fast enough, I know, but it will be here before you know it. Love you!!
