VERMIN!

Tuesday, August 12th 2008

For the past two mornings, I have been woken up at 5am by scratching and thrashing in the wall directly behind my bed, followed by scurrying and more scratching in the attic. My best guess is rats, but we'll see. The ratbusters came out today and plugged up all of the possible entry (and exit) points and set traps. Ewwwwwwwww! To top it all off, I haven't been able to get back to sleep because our neighbors got a new rooster that starts crowing at the crack of dawn. Because that's what roosters ...

Yuck.

Friday, August 8th 2008

I am just feeling yuck. Physically I'm ok, but I fell like an emotional wreck. It's probably pregnancy hormones, but I feel out of place no matter where I am. To top it all off, my husband has been extremely busy at work, so I haven't been wanting to rely on him for as much emotional support as usual.

It seems like my arms and my thighs are g...

It struck me as really funny, and at first I thought she was kidding. But, who would make such a thing up?

Food has been good the last two ...

Residual Anxiety

Monday, August 4th 2008

I was a high school English teacher for 4 years. I have been out of the game for 4 years (since my 1st baby was born), but this time of year still throws me off. I feel like I should be working out my calendars, updating lesson plans, making copies, going to meetings, and cleaning my classroom. But, since I don't really need to be doing any of that, I am just left with a sense of stuff to do hanging over my head. I know; I'm a freak :tongue8:. I decided that I could get rid of some of this nervous energ...
