Guac....Guac.....Guac.....Guacamole!!

Ok, I don't eat guacamole.  Besides the fact that it does not look appetizing to me to begin with (I can hear the outcry of horror that is both displayed on your face and coming out of your mouth), I happen to be allergic to avocados.  I guess, then, it doesn't really matter if I would like it or not, or whether it looks good, or smells good, etc....  I still couldn't touch it or eat it.

But, not all hope is lost.  You know how some people like to live out their life-long dreams through their kids?  You know the ones who make their kids stay at the baseball fields for 8 hours a day while they pitch the ball to them and then yell when they don't do what they want them to do?  The ones who don't care if they like soccer or dance, but make them participate because it's what they wanted to do?  (Really, the parents sucked at it themselves, so they hope their child can fulfill what they weren't able to)  I digress......... 

I will live out everyone who likes guacamole, besides me, dreams and have my kid eat it!  Just kidding, I really would never put my shortcomings onto my own child, at least not intentionally.  But, guess what?  Pierce LIKES it!  I can't say whether or not he loves it as he is unable to verbally communicate just how much he likes/loves it.  My husband was eating chips and guacamole the other night and I told him to let him try it.  He ate it and then held his hands out for more.  Yep, proud of my little boy.  Proud that he is not taking after his mama--who doesn't like to try new foods and pretty much eats the most plain items that exist in this world. 

The proof is in the pudding, or should I say, guacamole!

And, School is Back in Session

Yes, it's been almost a month since I've posted.  It's been so crazy busy in trying to get the new school year started.  I am now teaching 6 different classes this year, plus running ASB.  I was beginning to feel overwhelmed by it all the first week of August, mostly because I'm in my 3rd trimester of pregnancy, trying to get my lessons prepared, and plan for my sub.  I was used to getting up early, due to the farmer baby who resides in the room next door to mine.  However, I was not prepared to not have my daily 2 hour naps, and being able to relax when I felt tired.

So, school officially started on Thursday, August 12th.  I have everything up and running--I never said smoothly--but nonetheless, it's running.  I have one week left of work before I head out on maternity leave.  I have decided that I can only control so much and my sanity and the baby's health is way more important then lesson plans, kids who can't keep their mouths shut, and all the changes that are being implemented at my school.  I chose my sub specifically for her ability to take charge and be "me" in my absence.  Therefore, I need to "trust" in my choice and in her and let things fall as they may.  I have 4 more days of work, and I can get the relaxation that I crave, and quite honestly, feel I deserve.  Awe......the end is near.  I'll be happy when the pregnancy hormones calm down, because let's face it, all us mamas know, they never go away. =)

Cheers!
