parents

Man, parents can really be a pain in the butt!  I've never had to defend the behavior grades like I've had to do this year.  This is really nuts!  I wish that I artificially inflated their behavior grades so that I could avoid this.  It's 1st grade for crap's sake.  These parents can't deal with the fact that their kids aren't perfect!  It drives me crazy!  Please don' do that.  Don't be that crazy parent.  I guess the good news is that I am 1/3 done with conferences, in one day.  The rest are spread over the week, with most Tomorrow and Thursday.  I have a before school one tomorrow, and I hate that!  I have been so bad about getting there early, and I have to make sure I do tomorrow. 

Ok, enough work vent.  I want to talk to B about the donor sperm, and I know he wants to talk to me, but it never works.  We need to figure this out.  Frustrating!

    My mother the teacher always says that she loves the children, it's the parents she wishes she could get rid of!

    I hope you figure out a way to talk to B about using a donor. I think I just blurted it out to my husband as fast as I could. Good luck!

    Oh man I know all about crazy parents! I hope the rest of your conferences aren't as crazy. And good luck w/ the donor sperm talk. I really hope you all can come to a decision and feel comfortable about it.

    I agree with you about telling others: Don't be that crazy parent! My crazy parent is trying to ruin my life right now. Conferences are so stressful, and you will be done before you know it. Then you get a nice break. Ahhhhh.....

    I nominated you for a blog award, so come over to my blog to see it!

It's you!

"It's you!  I just know it!  You've lost some weight, it must be because of the morning sickness!" No, it's not me.  I'm not pregnant. "But is HAS to be you.  Who else could it be?  You just don't want to tell because it is too early" No, really.  It's not me.  I promise.  I haven't cheated on my husband.   "Well, who else could it be?" Um, one of the other 20 teachers of child bearing age at this school.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've guessed the other two pregnant teachers, before I even knew there were pregnant teachers at my school.  I have 'pregodar' (like gaydar, but for preggos) and really can sense the preggos around me.  I hadn't pegged a 3rd teacher, but I heard a rumor that there is a third when I started being hounded, and I think I have it figured out.  Its the one on her 3rd engagement and 3rd marriage in 5 years.  She's reaching the top of her realistic baby time, so it makes sense.

plugging along

There really isn't much to say at this point.  I'm plugging along, doing fine. Yesterday, I bowed out of a BBQ with B's family.  In May I mentioned BIL's ex and her "surprise" (planned) pregnancy.  One of the reasons for this BBQ was for BIL's birthday, and she decided to drive down to attend (she's still living 5-6 hours away).  She's like 26 weeks pregnant, and the thought of having to spend the day with her made me feel ill.  BIL isn't planning on living with her and the baby or marrying her, but will go visit often.  She is such an attention whore, I couldn't deal with her talking about the baby and flaunting the fact that she is still around because of it.  I've felt a little bit of a cold coming on, so I exaggerated it and stayed home.  I did end up throwing up my dinner, so I'm glad I didn't go. I felt a little guilty about skipping out on this, but I got over it quickly.  MIL was hoping that B and I would announce our

off with the crazies

Well, as expected, I had a pretty crappy Christmas.  Christmas eve was actually the best part.  We always celebrate on Christmas eve with my mom's side of the family.  That was actually fine.  Christmas day, not so much.  First, at my dad's side of the family lunch, I've never felt like such an outsider.  Christmas at the IL's started out fine.  BIL's dumb girlfriend decided to group each person's gifts in a pile, and we opened gifts one person at a time.  This took forever, and was kind of annoying.  For this group, we set up a gift exchange with B's brothers, so that we didn't have to buy for everyone.  I did the arranging for this, and think I did a good job.  I gave everyone opportunity to give input and include anyone else who was not included (didn't know if BIL's girlfriend was coming), compiled the responses, and sent out the information.  After all of that, B's brother went and got something for everyone, which really set me off.  Be
