Blah

I have nothing to write about.

Too much on my mind, too much to do, yet all I seem to do is to bid on Gymboree outfits on Ebay. With my 9 month maternity leave coming to a screeching halt, the panic is now setting in. Trying to think of things I can do to make money from home. Taking online surveys has netted me a cool $4 so far, so I guess that's not going to work out.

This year will be my 10th year teaching. Scary to think that the kids in my first class here at my school are now Juniors in high school. And the kids from my first year teaching are now 27 years old. Where does the time go? It may be time to ditch my fancy teacher's manuals & start my online business. Anyone need a custom diaper cake?? Huhh? Huh?? No? Crap! Didn't think so. It's just hard for me to imagine having the mental/emotional energy to give to my students now that I have my own at home.

Unless we move back to DeKalb & I can work in Paw Paw again. That's a great school.

Too much to think about now, will continue morbid thoughts later.

Hmmm, could I run my internet diaper cake business from DK? Possibly... would Devin ever move back to DK? Nope.

This post made me laugh: $4 profits and bidding on Gymboree clothing: heh. Heh heh -- "OUCH!"
Stupid bloody holes. They weren't even IMPACTED, and going 48 hours, the pain is still waking me at 3AM -- and here I am on the internet, waiting for the Advil to kick in.

Grrr.
Tell me, L -- I only had two out.
When does the dang pain stop???

Hmm, can't remember, I think about 3 days for me. But I had a big ole bruise on my cheek & neck that lasted darn' near 10 days.

Getting food back there is so annoying also. The whole business sucks ass.

Sorry you had to deal with this crap.

Say, what's this "diaper cake" all about? Why, I'd pay millions for whatever that is!

OK, I don't have millions, but I'd be buyin' whatever you got, if I did. Hang in there. The grass is not greener over here, it just smells more like dung on a warm, hazy morning.

You are still giving your energy to that precious child by working - by showing her that her mom and dad love her enough to work hard and find good care - you guys are going to make a household that is going to nurish her little mind and heart - you've already done so much to make my pal happy...you will give that and more to your daugher.

I'm a teacher. Apparently this means I must know EVERY answer to EVERY question in all of creation. Heaven help me if I make a spelling error. I'm also a wife & "new Mommie" (shudder). Don't get me wrong, I love my babies, but the phrase "new mommie" has got to go. It just conjures up images of scrunchies & sweat pants in my mind. Phooey.
