i have realized that i am not the best blogger in the world. i used to be. actually, i seemed to be a better blogger when my husband and i were apart. now that he is here, i haven't found a way to make time for myself creatively. i guess it is also a matter of space. i am not accustomed to someone always being in my space. it's not a bad thing. i love him. it's just that, it's hard to get into a creative zone (at least for me) around someone i love. i work much better in pure solitude, or public locations.
my good friend, a fellow writer, has inspired me to revisit my blog. she has one too, and i love it. she is also pregnant, and i am soooooo excited for her and her husband. i vicariously live through her pregnancy. at least when i'm ready, i will have some backhand knowledge from one of my peers and not only from my momma. lol! so yeah, i am going to make an attempt to post more often, especially now that the bootleg computer in my classroom is working again. whew, it was a struggle not having it here. i used to do a lot of my posts for my old blog at work. i guess being at work inspires me to write. ahhhh, if only i could write for a living.
tonite is one of the last classes i will ever attend for my masters in teaching! thank the heavens for that one! i have a ten minute presentation. it's pretty simple. i'm presenting a chart that i posted regarding my students' sentiments towards race and identity in the classroom. it's very interesting to read some of their comments. i have learned so much from my students this year, and i must admit that i do love them dearly. yet still, i am ready for summer vacation already. i am EXHAUSTED, mentally and emotionally. i'm thinking of applying for a television internship for the summer, (yes, i still love the tv news world...sigh) but who knows. there are a few opportunities available. we shall see. i miss my husband. i wish i didn't have to wait until 10:00pm to see him. at least this will be the last wednesday night that i come home from my "Teacher as Researcher" class!
GIVE ME MY MASTERS DEGREE!!!!!! YAY :-)
love, peace, & nappiness. until next time!

yep ... this is what my school secretary, and every other pregnant woman / mom at my school has told me, which is why most of them return after 6 weeks 'cause that's when the pay ends. but i'll verify just to be sure! it's never bad to double check!
p.s. i wouldn't doubt it if they considered postpartum healing a disability of sorts since you are ordered by your doctor to assure six weeks of healing time, but who knows. in any event, my secretary mentioned this in front of my principal, so the shit better be true! lol. regardless, my ass is taking time off! at least a little. hehehe. xoxo!
