Don't worry, I have back up. . .

Let me just preface these comments by saying that I really love where I am this year. I really like the Middle School setting and I feel like I am working enough time to get everything I need done, but still see my daughter and get enough rest. I really like it!

Like today; I have a boy that is in the 'life skills' unit, meaning they are working more on functional skills than staying near grade level. I don't know if it is the shirt or what, but he and about 3 others finally noticed I am pregnant after I've been seeing them for the past month or so. He preceded to tell me that I should name my daughter (1 whole minute pause) Nelly. I told him I would have to talk to my husband about that and he said that he knows my husband will like it.

Then, he tells me that just in case I can't make it to my husband and hospital, he can help me out. He then tells me 'I'm a scout'. I said that was great. Then, he said that means he helps other people out. So, he tells me, I can be a scout doctor and deliver your baby. I smile, try not to laugh, and think about the good hands I'm in here at school just in case my baby decides to come before I can get to the hospital.

Hey listen, I don't know if you emailed me back yet. I'm having some majorly major issues with my email. I haven't been able to check it in three days. So, I'll have to get back to you after I figure out what to do with my stupid stupid email. Stupid!
