This Week
1. The pre-school is a lot less structured than I had imagined. First, this week, I only had my two regulars for the full day, and then a third child for scattered hours on a few days. This actually put a cramp in our style, because it means I can't take them on all-day field trips on days on those days.
2. I nixed the camping trip. It was supposed to rain, and I realized I'm not quite that insane. It turned out to be lovely, but whatever. I will definitely take them when it gets a tad bit warmer.
3. My mom was out of town in Colorado this week. The kids' mom has been out of town in London. It's been very bachelor-esque around here.
4. I feel like utter shit. I've been feeling really tired and punky for about 6 weeks now, and I've had this terrible headache for at least 4 weeks straight.
5. On Wednesday, I fainted. Yep, just like a Victorian damsel. I was babysitting 4 kids at the time. Thank god Noah happened to be there. It felt really strange. I hope it was just a good old vasovagal syncope, not something having to do with the brain tumor or the heart defect potentially caused by the medicine I took for the brain tumor. I'm going to go get my head CAT scanned tomorrow.
6. I decided I will probably not be contributing genetically to any children, at least not on purpose. There's really no reason to inflict these genes on another generation. If I decide I want to have kids, I'll adopt. This also takes some of the biological clock pressure off. Good.
7. I experienced total laundry failure. I hung things up outside to dry because it was so warm, then I didn't get around to taking them down as soon as I should have. Then it rained/snowed - the clothes got so heavy that the line broke. Now they are frozen into the mud in my yard and the dog has been walking all over them. I rule.
8. I was rejected by Duke. Even though I'm pretty sure that was my first choice, I'm not that upset about it. The more I think about the future, the more I see myself in Philly at Jefferson. I say this without having done the compare and contrast chart and whatnot, it's just my gut feeling. Now, do I take advantage of their sweet on-campus housing? Or do I live off campus for the cat? Hmmm
