It doesn't look like I will be moving grades next year to teach my students for a second year. I am more disappointed than I thought I'd be.
When I used to teach, looping was my favorite. I was so sad when my district did away with it.
I'm especially sad because this year, my co-teacher and I have the sweetest kids. The co-teaching team that the kids are going to won't care about them. Those two shouldn't even be teachers, let alone special ed teachers. It breaks my heart that I have to send them to their class.

I feel a tremendous amount of pride.
We have a book called "I love my daddy because." It features a lot of animals and why they love their daddies. K likes to name them and make the animal noises that go with each.
When we get to the fox, he goes "Fox!" And when I ask "what does the fox say?", he replies a la Ylvis, "de de de de de de de de de."
We had a celebration of life gathering for my grandma yesterday, and it was emotionally draining She and I were very close, and it's just hard to believe she's gone. It was good to see my family (they are 2 hours away), but not for that reason.
I'm taking DD to see the doctor today. She's been fevered all weekend. I'm hoping while I'm there I can have my ear checked out. It's still plugged and sore from last weeks ear infection. I just want to be able to hear again! On the bright side, H helped me clean last night, and I'm glad my house is no longer a disaster.
I was supposed to watch my neighbour's 10 month old all day today but she cancelled. I'm a little relieved since I feel like I forget everything about little babies.
Funny how something that consumed your day can be forgotten so quickly.

We had a full weekend of visiting family. The first one like this since James was born. It was nice but exhausting. I'm looking forward to just me and the baby today for a few hours.
I was Supermom yesterday. Dropped H off at work and then took E to the Y. Signed her into childcare and worked out, then went and got her and took her in the pool for family swim. After that we went to Old Navy for a dress for her school pictures and found one. We had lunch at Panera and then hit up Trader Joe's. Then it was off to H's meat market for some meat/produce shopping. Then we went home and I vacuumed the whole apartment while making a pork roast for dinner.
I had such an awesome weekend. I cleaned and purged a whole bunch of things. Even the junk drawer that has been haunting me for a long time.
I played with the kids and they played together nicely when I did many many loads of laundry. I haven't been feeling well so it was nice to have some energy and get stuff done!
I had a fun weekend! I sing in a choir, and we had a concert this weekend. We did Dvořák's Mass in D Major and a bunch of other smaller pieces. It went really well! I love practicing for months and then seeing it all come together into something really beautiful. Now I have to learn Carmina Burana in a month!
After the Saturday night performance I went to hang out with friends, and we ended up at a bar until 2 a.m. and then went to Ihop afterwards. I haven't done that kind of thing since college! Of course, I'm paying for it now; last night I couldn't sleep for shit. I'm sure it's because I threw off my sleep pattern.

I don't feel well this am, its snowing here BAHHH, and I have to have a new hire sit with me this afternoon and I just don't wanna be "on" ya know what I mean.
But good news is that DDs bday is this coming weekend and I am excited to go bday shopping and easter basket shopping this week
It's on Saturday and it's getting overlooked by Easter. We're trying to do a small gtg with friends Thursday night, but it looks like most people won't be a bout the make it.
This happened to my DH last year. It sucks.
My daughters bday is the 4th. I am planning on making sure it doesn't get overlooked.
Half of my team didn't show up today. I was half tempted to send my boss a text when I saw the emails last night to tell her I wasn't coming in either since no one else was. But I didn't.
She (my boss) is advocating for me to take on another project. Which will be another awesome step towards another review of my duties and could lead to another promotion. I'm super stoked....even though it's state government and the actual process of the review and promotion could take a year, it's still exciting.
Dd is on Spring Break this week so she is making the rounds with the grandparents this week. Now I need to start working on figuring out what to do with her this summer.

When Easter is late this happens to me. I have dyed Easter eggs on my birthday so. many. times.
I HATE when my ex resides in my dreams. Mine shows up to basically be "the moral of the story." He is there, and whatever thing I am trying to wrap my head around in my life that gave rise to the dream he magically fixes. Ugh, its annoying. And its been ten years, so why is he still around in my dreams!
Sorry you are going through that in your dreams. Rest assured in real life you are fabulous and awesome, and that guy sleeping next to you is super lucky :-)
I'm a little at a friend who posted on FB about his new baby "After 6 days and 144 hours of labor, blah blah blah, welcome our daughter, blah blah blah." I mean...I know you can be in labor for awhile, but it's not like it's ACTIVE labor, right? It's not like she was pushing for 6 days. Maybe I'm just cranky.
I concur.
I was in labor with real contractions for a week before they admitted me and broke my water to make it go faster. I was already over 6cm at that point.
I wouldn't have posted about being in labor for a week because that's dumb, but it was one hella frustrating week with daily doc appointments and being told every time "You won't make it back tomorrow. You're going to have that baby any minute now"

I've been working on a superhero alphabet sampler for E's new room, and he decided he wanted to sew too. I made him a pattern based on mine, and he was so serious about it. The little chubby hands just get me in the feels.

Today is my first full day back at work, and the first time I had to take Sparkybaby to daycare :-(
Interestingly enough, my boss just came in to my office.
Long story, my boss is Canadian. My company is Swedish, acquired a Canadian company, moved its HQ to the US.
She basically said she thinks it is utter bullshit that US moms have to come back to work so quickly, that it effing sucked that I had to come back at six weeks in order to continue getting paid, and that my little one was so little and I am still healing and etc...
So she reached out to our Global General Counsel, (male) who was apparently gobsmacked that I was back at work at all (never mind I have worked on projcets for him last week when I was here half time.)
They basically told me to figure out if I would like to change my schedule or work from home a few days a week for the next three months and they will let HR know to suck it up and deal.
So, I think I am going to be able to work from home for a few days a week! I'll get to see my little one more, and daycare bills will be cheaper :-). I need to talk to the husband tonight and figure out the best approach!
I've been so tired since we got home from Florida. I'm averaging 5-6 hours a night.
I exercised like a mofo this weekend. My new HR monitor showed up on Saturday so I went out for a run. It was effing cold. DD and I did yoga Sunday morning, and I decided to try out the step I got from Target with a step video on YouTube. I thought I was in pretty decent shape. Then I did this step video and thought I was going to die. I was dripping with sweat by the time I finished. I still got up this morning and went to the gym before work. My body is kind of screaming at me.
I rented a bike while I was on vacation. I'm really excited to get my old bike down and tune it up to ride. I had so much fun. DD should probably be able to handle her bike pretty well this year, so I'm hoping she and I can do some short rides together. She got to take the scooter I got her for her birthday outside yesterday. She loved it.
