I was struck with a bout of sadness the other night. Guess I felt sorry for myself. I know it is normal and probably is to be expected. Seeing pictures of my good friend who was just in front of me in her pregnancy has been hard. I had tears last night for a commercial for a credit card (I think!) where the lady finds out she is having triplets. I think I will be happier once my friend's baby is born. As much as I miss her since she now lives out of state, I am secretly glad I won't be able to make it to her shower and instead can just send my gift. It's funny because as happy as I am about our son in Korea, I am still surprised at my (sometimes) jealous feelings and sadness about what could have been. I think its getting better. It just still stinks.
I am excited about tomorrow morning in my classroom....the leprechauns paid a visit over the weekend and the traps my kids set up on Thursday (we had a work day) on Friday have been transformed by my terrific Hubby into a grand structure with their bait hidden inside. Green bootprints and gold glitter all around and a pot of gold coins to be found later on in the morning. I'll have to add pictures later since I left my phone at home while we were at school today. Our celebration will be a little less than normal because our days at school are so squished for time, but I am looking forward to seeing my kids' faces in the morning.
In other news, I do believe my body is back to normal. For months, I have not experienced my normal PMS symptoms and last month I did. Sore, busty boobs and cramping a week plus before AF's appearance. So I am happy things are back to "normal"...took long enough.
I posted a new post about our wonderful trip to Arizona to our placing agency. If you are interested, check it out here, if you aren't following along yet.
Hope you all had a great weekend! I am off to try to catch up some more on your worlds.
Jealous feelings are so understandable... we all experience them and seem to be part of the journey... but so hard to endure. Love the St Pat's school idea... must have been so much fun :)) xoxo
ReplyDeleteI've been getting those feelings too. Spring was the time I was going to start on the nursery. I just seem to see a lot of reminders of what I could be feeling and doing lately.
ReplyDeleteYour leprechaun trap sounds amazing. I know my boys would never forget something like that. They have good teachers, don't get me wrong, but your class just sounds so fun! I hope you post some pics :)
