So my sister Cindy came to my school today to shadow me, as she will be performing my job for the first few weeks after my baby is born--which could be any time! She wrote all about it on her blog, so I thought I'd copy her. It seems like a good idea.
She also told me that my paragraphs are too long on my blog and that's why no one reads it.
So I'm going to make them much shorter this time.
Is it working?
It was fun having my sister here all day, and her being PAID to hang out with me. I was glad she could get over exclaiming over my belly long enough to listen to my instructions, but inevitably she returned to the belly.
I think she's going to do a fantabulous job. It's nice to know I am leaving my classroom in good hands. I'm kind of a mother hen about my classes--things have to be done just so, and when I have a sub, I am always afraid it won't be done right. But then I remind myself that its not like the kids are going to be scarred for the rest of their life if things are taught a little differently. They might actually learn more from her than from me, who knows?
New paragraph. Man, this is hard. I'm going to practice some more.
Ok. I'm getting better at it. That feels better. Right now I am sitting at parent-teacher conferences, and since we follow the "student-lead" format in the spring, I pretty much sit here while the students present to their parents the portfolio they prepared, and I talke to parents as they come in. Most my students are passing (because let's face it, this class is easy) so I don't have a whole lot to do.
This is boring.
I'm going to go now.

Much better on the paragraphs! See, it's not so hard.
If you're starving after work, stop in for some Chicken Picatta. I have leftovers and I'll keep it warm for you (and the 'T' man if he's sick of no dinner).
PS- I loved getting paid to come hang out with you and go to lunch. Too bad we can't get THAT gig all the time!
uhm...good job on the paragraphs. I am glad that you have someone that you can trust to teach for you.
What are you talking about "no one reads my blog"? I read it every time you post. I just don't always comment. Sorry. I suck. But now I think about it...long paragraphs are a little itimidating when you only have a few minutes to catch up and you want to do it fast. How are you? Are you sleeping? You are a rockstar for working fulltime and doing Parent/Teacher junk and climbing under tables and growing a baby all at the same time.
Well, I guess "no one" is really a comparison to Cindy's blog, where she has like 30 comments to every entry and 61 (count them! 61!) professed followers. But thank you for reading my blog. And yes, I feel like a superstar right now, let me tell you. Will rolling over EVER be something I can do in my sleep?It's such an ORDEAL. Urg...but I'm ok. Two more weeks!
