sorry!

So I had a few complaints that I don't write on here enough to keep those distant people updated. sheesh. sorry! It's hard keeping a blog up to date when all you do is sleep and puke! Anyways, we went to Florida last weekend for a friends wedding. We took the red eye down Thursday night and arrived first thing Friday morning. Not good. Nugget was NOT happy with the extreme lack of sleep so I quickly found my way to the nearest airport restroom--at least I wasn't on the plane. We were sharing a car with Katie and Maureen whose plane was delayed so Mike and I picked up the rental car and parked on the side of the road in downtown Jacksonville and slept for a few hours after popping a few quarters in the meter. Doesn't get much more ghetto than that. But the good news is, after my airport episode my appetite came back! Hooray! for eating! We successfully went to Chili's twice over the weekend! I did eat some french fries at the wedding and quickly got an upset stomach--but did not throw up or feel nauseated. Since then, I say bring on the fried food!!! It has been so long, I have missed fried foods terribly! We do find out the sex of the baby next week! Eeeeek! So exciting but I hate waiting. Mike wants to rig it so somehow he finds out the sex and I don't. Not cool. He is also claiming if it is a girl, it is going up for adoption. Oddly, I have numerous students either requesting I call them immediately after, or that they be on speaker phone during the ultra sound. Kind of bizarre if ya ask me. I talked to my principal today to ask if on the following Monday I either come in wearing all pink or all blue depending on the sex of the baby and he agreed, even though I brought up the point that I most likely will be wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt to make that happen. He said yes on the condition that I somehow incorporate the gender of the baby in math class--he suggested maybe finding the probability of it being a particular gender. I quickly brought up the point though that depending on what you read and who you talk to...what you eat....what time of day...and other not school appropriate things can play a factor in the sex of a baby. He quickly agreed that my students do not need to be running to the health teacher for definitions. I think I am going to poll each class and who ever has the highest percent guess correctly, I will buy doughnuts for the class--and obviously for me! :)

  1. I took a poll with my students the day of my ultrasound. 50% said girl. 50% said boy. Same among the staff. So I was convinced that they wouldn't be able to tell the sex during the ultrasound or that we'd found out there was one of each. But it all worked out. And Jack was not shy about sharing.

    Can't wait to hear the news!!
