belly bumpin.......

down the halls.

yep. it's as if i'm a sumo wrestler, meandering my way through masses of children, each morning as the bell rings.

.

you see......i greet all 438 children at the front door from 8:00 - 8:20, directing them where to go.

today, kindergarten-2nd-5th grades went into the gym for 'walk n talk' until our 8:20 bell

and 1st-3rd-4th grades went to their assigned hallways for enrichment time.

these students, some arriving as early at 7:00, just sit outside........crazy weather n all......waiting for the bell to ring.

.

so from 8-8:20, we try to provide some structure before the day begins.

wow. totally didn't intend to go so indepth with our morning routine. whoops.

however.

.

when that 8:20 bell rings.......structured morning or not.......chaos hits.

and within the last week, my belly has really been in the way.

.

boingggggggg....... its like the children see it and then think it would be cool to catapult off of it.

i try not to be too crazy/overprotective/psycho mom with a baby in her belly.......

.

but. i've come to the point where i'm about ready to scream,

"back off the belly bozo's!!!!!!!!........there's a wittle baby in there!!!!!!!!!!"

.

here's my bump:

and. i forgot to document my 35 week mark last friday.

.

and. because pregnant girls will always be very precise about which week/which day they are on.

(because every day you get through is a celebration)

.

and. because i got to school early early today.

.

and. because our bathroom at school has a full length mirror.

(and also a door that won't shut.......see door in background)

.

here i am.

at 35 weeks. AND 4 days.

:)

and what the heck am i doin? blogging at work???

oh that's right.......it's monday.........

and i'm having a hard time gettin into the groove.....

.

but i gotta run. its time for morning announcements!
