Back to Work
Definitely started my first week of a period. I forgot how much this sucks. After spotting for so long, it seemed weird to just bleed. Cory really seems to want to go. He hauls himself around the floor with his arms, and if you hold him up and walk he starts walking, too. He’ll probably be crawling soon enough. Sure enough his two bottom teeth are in. We gave him Tylenol the other night cause he just wouldn’t sleep. We were all exhausted. He’s woken up a few times, but it’s better now. He just kinda whimpers and then goes back to sleep. I even was reading an article on a doctor who says babies don’t wake because their teeth hurt. We train them to keep waking. Well that’s crazy. He hurts. He has things in his mouth constantly. Even the babysitter says so. Now that we’ve budgeted for Christmas, we’re trying to figure out what to get Cory. I’m voting on nothing. He has everything thing he needs and he’ll have family to spoil him with gifts. Maybe we’ll get him a stocking with some teethers and rattles. My mom had made all the stockings for everyone in our family. Now Cory needs one. I wonder if she’ll have time to make one or if maybe he’ll have one for next year. I know she’s busy. I could even help work on it some. It’s kind of funny everyone things Cory should have that Fisher Price zebra bouncer. He of course is too little for that, but it’s funny how the commercial has enticed every mother and grandmother. I’ve been overwhelmed at work with keeping up with all the new school demands. With both the other third grade teachers out, I feel burdened to do it all. I’m barely keeping afloat as it is. I spend too much time at home doing papers and lessons as it was this week. I brought stuff home, and then said forget it! I decided I was going to be with my family instead. Brought Jay flowers and candy (he likes it too! don’t laugh at me) and Cory a balloon and brought home a chicken rotisserie. I even took a bath with Cory. I’m sure tomorrow will be awful while I play catch up, but gosh. I can’t let school rule my life anymore.
