on birthday, work, focusing, and my little flower child
9:10 p.m. on June 02, 2006
abel's birthday was the 28th. he asked for nothing but to be with me and Naima. i wish i could have gotten him something else, like a toy or something but he really didn't want a thing.
i have to report back to work on the 5th for that one day. stupid, i know, but if i don't report back at least one day before the school year ends then i'll have to fill out all the paperwork at the beginning of the new school year like a new hire and that's just too much of a hassle. the good thing is that my boss is letting me take Naima with me to work on the 5th. i know i probably won't get much done but hey there really isn't much to do because my substitute closed out the year for me. so i'll probably try to get some things started for the new year but mostly i'll probably just hold Naima all day and read books to her. not a bad way to spend the day and get paid for it!
i have a state exam to take next saturday and i haven't even studied for it. am i worried? a little. it's for my librarian certification and i guess i figure if i don't know how to be a librarian after two years of being one then i should fail the test. BUT if i do fail the test then i have one more chance to pass the test or else it's back to the classroom for me...YIKES! i just don't have the desire to study for it. i just want to be with Naima, holding her all day. i'm already thinking i'm not going to be able to focus during the test because i'll want to rush back home to be with Naima. i know, i know, that's a bad thing because i really need to be focused on this exam for the good of my career but right now, with Naima here, who the hell cares about that right now!
anyway, i have two more months to enjoy my baby girl all to myself and then i'm off to work again. august 1st is my official first day of work for the new school year. it sucks. i know i shouldn't complain because most people don't get two months vacation (teachers get that talk all the time) but i've seriously been considering being a stay-at-home mom. but with abel being a full time student and me being the only one bringing home the bacon right now, i know i could NEVER really do it but, hey, i can dream, can't i?
p.s. april showers really do bring up may flowers...
