UWM...
My mother would literally die if she knew what I am about to share. ha The thought of her reaction makes me laugh out loud. I am sure she has had the same issues but her generation of women have trouble sharing important events like this, even though my argument has been it sure would have been nice for you to share. There are MANY things I have had to experience "blindly" because we just did not talk about "those kind of things".
I have recently had a few episodes with UWM. One day "it" happened at school and I literally had to bend my body to the right as I walked to keep my balance. On that particular day, I slid into my desk chair to answer the phone and I heard the snap.
What happens to us that we don't usually discuss is the knife slice after the snap. I felt a sharp puncture to my skin and was forced to keep it in. ( probably because there were 22 4th graders under my supervision...) The rest of the day I was overcompensating for my UWM. See, it is certainly not an easy fix for me.
Today, the surprise UWM happened. No snap...just a hole through the middle...then the knife. TEARS come to your eyes... you scream out...but think maybe I can hot glue to patch up this problem. JUST SAY NO. That is what we should share...just discard and make sure to have a spare at all times.
Lucky for me I can get some replacements two for the price of one to stock up again for all these episodes of UWM. Good thing since they are pricey. One of the things I learned was to invest wisely. Still, parts wear out. haha
I think just for entertainment purposes I 'll let you do some level 5 thinking/inquiry on what UWM stands for...if you teach you get that.
GRADING PAPERS...
After grading hundreds of papers and huffing and puffing after each set...a knock came at the door. It was quite a nice surprise. My neighbors were delivering my case of Diet Coke I ordered. In the wise words of Javion ( a previous student)...JACKPOT! I immediately sent a random text to my friend Jenna...who loves Diet Coke as much as I do. When I received my drinks it made me think of her.
POTTY TRAINING...
Just a little update. Big girl panties all weekend. Let's just all pray for my daughter....and her mother. This has been my most difficult feat of motherhood to conquer, yet. Many tears have been shed by both of us. Hopefully, I will laugh about this sooner than later. I didn't say anything about it being an accident free weekend...that is why my surprise delivery was OH, SO SWEET!
Supper is cooking...gotta go finish my feast. PlayDoh and Lite Brite on the agenda before bath and bed.
I love my simple and very predictable life! The Vaughns have a busy week ahead. Plus, I have some online shopping to take care of. heehee
Have a great week, friends.
