Are you serious?

Warning:  This post is all about me venting.

I just found out (at 6:30 pm - I suppose it's a good thing I decided to check my school e-mail on Sunday - something I don't normally do) that since I have a whole THREE fourth grade students in my 3/4 combo I have all sorts of interesting scheduling hassles to jump through and a bunch of extra stuff I need to have ready for the start of school tomorrow at 8:28 am.

I am so upset right now.  No one thought to mention any of this earlier???  I guess I should have asked, but I've never taught fourth grade and didn't realize their instructional minutes are so different.  Grumble grumble grumble grumble GRUMBLE!

It's not that major (they start 5 minutes early and don't have an afternoon recess - which means I not only have to figure out what to teach them in those 15 minutes, but also means this pregnant lady won't be able to use the restroom at that time) and I need to calm down, but you're telling me NOW - and hoping I see it before Monday morning?  Are you serious?

Movement

So at my ultrasound three weeks ago I was told I have an anterior placenta, which simply means it's in front.  The technician said everything looked good, but she also told me it may be acting as a shock absorber and that may be why I hadn't been able to feel the baby move.  Well, I think I'm finally starting to feel Scrapper bouncing around in there.  Weird - but in a very cool way.  :-)
