School Blues
Well, other than being phenomenally stressed out over school, life has been going quite well. Between SLTs, GLEs, CCS, Discovery Education Tests, AR tests, and just figuring out what the heck I'm suppose to be teaching every week, I feel very overwhelmed most of the time. But, my class is doing phenomenal! We won Whole Class Compliment last week, which is what the kids get from other teachers. It means we got the most compliments on our class all week. We actually split it with two other teachers, but I was quite proud! :) I have my kids aiming to win it again, and they are working very hard to gain their AR points. Sometimes I feel like I'm not teaching them what they need to know, or question whether how I am teaching them is going to be of any use on the iLEAP test. The iLEAP wouldn't concern me at all, if it wasn't now affecting my possible job situation and pay I have to be concerned. I could create an entire blog dedicated to the ridiculousness of the fact that teachers are judged so harshly by the world, when very few people truly know just how much teachers sacrifice of their own lives to make their child's life better. I have decided though, that I am simply going to do the very best I can this year, and if I fail,what will be will be. I have to focus on my baby, because that is what is MOST important! I am slightly concerned, because I haven't been putting on the weight the way I feel I am suppose to. Sure my boobies have gotten huge and my belly is poking out, but my weight hasn't changed. :( Anywho, Onto to my weekly survey! :)
Baby Survey! :)
How far along? 14 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 0
Sleep:wonderfully, not enough time for sleep and life though!

Interesting Dreams- umm I had some weird ones last night, but I don't remember them now. Just that they were weird.
Best moment this week: hmm Winning Whole Class Compliment with my kids! and spending quality time with my hubby. He's the best! :)
Worst moment this week: All the stress from work- not really a moment, but that has had me at my wits end more than once this week.
Movement: Baby's moving, mommy just can't feel it yet!
Symptoms: Cravings, Big ol' boobies, poochy little belly, and ooooh have I had mood swings!
