Brief Update

Since Joy complained that my blog was boring her, I decided to post a quick update: nothing exciting is going on right now.

I have to go to an all-day class tomorrow that I am not looking forward to. It will be class number five out of six, so at least there will only be one more after this one. The frustrating part is that I was taking this class so that I could get a projector for my classroom next year, but it is fruitless now because some new teacher will be handed the equipment that I busted my butt for, and I'll be in Texas with nothing to say about the issue. (See the picture below for another frustrating fact)

The only thing that will get me through Thursday will be that I have an OB appointment on Friday. I am anxious to find out about Baby Watson's progress. Mommy Watson's progress includes the following: perpetual sleepiness and depression. I feel like I have no energy and not one positive feeling in my whole body. I am hoping and praying that this feeling will go away with the onset of the second trimester in a few weeks because I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. All this moving business is wrecking havoc on my emotions, too. Enough about that...

I did pinpoint my first food aversion tonight: garlic. Danny has cooked dinner several times in the past couple of months, and I have complained about the smell every time. The last time he cooked a meal, the smell made me so nauseated that I locked myself in the bedroom and still had a headache and upset stomach from there. Tonight, we figured out that it is the smell of garlic that is making me so sick. I had to leave the house tonight and go have dinner with my friend Valerie just to avoid the ill feelings. So, the good news is that I know now to avoid garlic at any and all costs!

So, as you can see, all that is happening is that I am sleeping a lot and spending a lot of time with negative thoughts and emotions. My life is less than blogworthy, for sure.

Nonetheless, Joy, I hope you enjoyed the update!

This picture was taken at the Optimist Club meeting last week when they awarded me with $1, 550 to purchase a laptop for my classroom. The laptop would have accompanied the projector I've been earning through my class to help make me an uber-techie teacher. I immediately handed over the check to Mrs. Bouck so that she can buy that laptop for some lucky teacher who didn't actually work for it. You can't imagine my disappointment and my anger with the military powers that be...
