This is my life: Levi's second tooth popped through today! I am stupidly excited about things like that now. I discuss poop consistency, frequency, and color on the regular. I find myself talking in my special higher-pitched happy Levi voice to the animals, my husband, and occasionally inanimate objects like the stove. I don't know how I'll survive going back to school in a week and a half. My students are either going to get an insane amount of attention as I attempt to distract myself from missing him or they will get earfuls of silly baby stories that most of them won't appreciate. On the last day of school 8 weeks ago I gave each of my students a note card and asked them to write one piece of advice for my incoming sophomores. Some were funny, like "Don't be slutty,"while others were school related, like admonishing students to do their homework or actually read the work I assign. One of my favorites, though, was, "Listen to the stupid stories Mrs. Kanney tells you because you never know when she'll put one of them as an extra credit question on a quiz." Success.
I'm taking the little one to the park here in a few for a long walk with a coworker. Norah will be there for her first cheerleading practice, and I have every intention of scoping out her squad whilst looking nonchalant. We'll see if her grandparents, or Norah for that matter, catch on to me. I always joke that I used to be a spy (I spent several years of my life scribbling like a maniac and sneaking around to eavesdrop thanks to my obsession with Harriet the Spy) so I can probably pull this off.
Tomorrow I'm taking my friend Angela to Purdue. I am also stupidly excited about this, particularly because I will be introducing her to the wonder that is the Neon Cactus. Expect a hilarious blog about what we encounter there (probably the realization that we are too old to go to the Cactus, but whatever.) Boiler up!
