| i survived the first day of school! hooray!
only 170 more to go.
I forgot how dependent these guys are when we start, can't hold a pencil, can't stop talking, or moving. sheesh!
But in a few weeks they will be used to the rules and procedures, I would like to fast forward to that day...
then I came home and slept 2 and a half hours. | | |
| So my boss took the news really well. She was so excited, she gave me a free rocking chair that had been donated to the school. One of the board members who I know pretty well found out and immediatly grilled me about when I was due and how that would effect my school. But now i am in pre-first-day-of-school nervous mode. It is exciting and a little scary. They come in so little and I teach them to read, tell time, add and subtract with carrying. They start out so dependent on everything and by the end of the year, they are ready to tackle seat work all by themselves.
I am hoping that after I give birth I will have maternity leave until the end of the school year, as it is only 6 weeks after my due date. I would hate to go back to work with a 3 week old at home.
Well things will work out. Now I am resting before the infamous first day of school. | | |
| so some of you might know by now, but to others whose phone numbers i forgot, i thought i would let you know this way. After feeling tired and nauseos for about a week, I went for a check up and found out I am pregnant...
Yes, thats right, I am going to be a mommy! Tomorrow I will be 5 weeks along. Its scary, exciting, and so many other feelings that as of right now, I dont really know what to feel. My due date is April 17th, so it will be a few weeks before school lets out, so pray my boss will understand when i tell her tomorrow.
ciao! | | |

so recently, my mom called and told me someone has passed away. The person who passed on was a colleague of my fathers, and more importantly, his best friend for the past 12 years. It was the first person whose death made me cry. I know this sounds odd, but I dont cry at all that much. My step grandfather died, nothing. A student of my parents, same thing, but i think it was really the fact that my sisters and I have pretty much grown up with the man's 3 kids. This man taught nathan some cebuano when he wanted to propose to me in my 2cd language. He was a passionate Christian who wasnt afraid to joke around, show love to the outcasts and call them his friends. And then doctors misdiagnosed his ailments and it turned into cancer of the bones. He rapidly deteriated and died at the age of 52.
I feel bad for the family. I mostly feel for my dad though, He has lost his best friend. I know I would be a wreck if any one of my best friends, I had to watch as they died. But at least he is in a better place. no pain, no cancer, and with the Savior. | | |
| now that it is august, i have soo many things to do.
but right now i am enjoying watching buffy the vampire slayer, getting in the last of my rest time before I go back to being Teacher Lizzy: kindergarten slave. Ive been kind of tired recently, probably an effect of having 9 adults in my two bedroom apartment this past weekend. Large crowds really kill my personality and turn me into a defensive b__ch but in the midst of my introverted personality raging, i missed all my good friends and wanted to see them again so i wanted to be sociable.
well i am liking this episode and gonna go | | |
