Long Time No Post
Well, It's been a while since I last posted. We lost the baby in March. I found out at my 11.5 week doctor's appointment on Princess' second birthday. It was hard to write about right away, and I guess that's why I've been lax. I'm doing well now though. Surgery went well and my body is finally back to normal. And I'm doing pretty good emotionally. We have all these preggo ladies at work, one of whom I threw a baby shower for last week. It was really nice. I know that some women say they can't stand to be around pregnant women after they lost a baby, but I guess it's different for me because I already have two beautiful kids. I'm really happy for all the ladies at work who are pregnant, and it is fun to watch them experience the beginnings of motherhood for the first time. I think it's really cool.

In other big news, the next two weeks may be my last as a classroom teacher. I have been hired as a Technology Integration Facilitator, so I'll be working at two campuses, training teachers and offering curriculum and software support. It's a big honor, because I know who some of my competition was and they were tough to beat! See, all three members of the technology department at my school applied for and got interviews for this job. A fourth from our building also applied but was not granted an interview. And since those were two of my best friends in the building, I know their strengths pretty well. So I am ecstatic but am looking at a really tough road getting all my junk packed up. 11 years in the classroom sees a MAJOR accumulation of random stuff. I'll miss the kids, but I won't miss dealing with teenage attitudes or angry parents.

Now I get to be an angry parent (J/K) as Bug is starting Kindergarten in the fall. His preschool graduation is coming up in a week and half- caps and gowns; the whole nine. I think Bug is valedictorian. He scored in the 98.8 percentile on his Bracken assessment (yes, I was SHOCKED that they gave my child a standardized test, not once but TWICE this year in pre-K)

I guess that's all for my update. Other stuff has happened that I'll have to write about later, like the hurricane that I experienced a week ago.

Maybe this will get me back on track!
