Tattoo

Yay! I got my tatto. I chose to have Margaret put on my right wrist in white ink. I love it.

seriously?

This morning I spoke with the custodian and asked him if he could install a drip pan on the fridge in our room. He said we would have to defrost it and turn it on its side. Fine whatever I know nothing about refrigerators. So I tell our health and safety coordinator what he said. She comes and looks at it and the drip pan is on the back of the fridge. We are all wondering where the water is coming from? Maybe the kids are overflowing the sink and keeping the carpet wet under the sink? Who knows. It is such a load of crap. Maggie slept much better last night, yay! Which also means that I slept better. I am going to get my "Margaret" tattoo on Friday, can't wait.

Friends

I have enough friends.  Sure it is always nice to add a few more.  But sometimes having friends is a pain in the butt, I love you guys but sometimes something just goes weird.

I have a friend who posts on almost everything I post on Facebook.  Fine, whatever.  Been going on for a few months, known the guys a long time.  Love him!! He is awesome.  Such a great friend.  But everyone is getting their nuts in a roar over his posts.  So they are all like, he likes you more than a friend.  I am like whatever, not that I would mind that.  I don't think he would ever like me like that.  He says he thinks of me as a sister - cool, I don't have the greatest relationships with my own brothers so it is nice having a guy around.  How our conversations go on Facebook - I can't imagine ever talking to my brother in such a way but whatever.  I guess that is why we aren't really related.  But anyway -  I have all of these friends feeding me these thoughts about this friend I start to wonder, what would that be like.  But I don't want to loose him as a friend - when no one else is there he is there,  he goes and does dorky kid stuff with Maggie and me that no one else will do.  He makes me laugh and smile.

I don't ever want to loose his friendship. 

At the same time, I would really love to be in a relationship, I would like to have someone who wants to hang out and do all the fun stuff that Maggie and I do.  Who will get up early on a Sunday just to go hang out at the Zoo. Someone that I can go do grown-up stuff with, instead of dragging Maggie with me. But, I suck at male/female relationships.  Hence the fact that I used a sperm donor to get pregnant.


Sometimes it is incredibly lonely to be Maggie and Me, we obviously have each other but that is it - no one else. Okay, not no one else because my parents are here.  But on the weekends they don't usually want to do the things we want to do, they have their own plans and things they want to do.

I am heading to Sun River March 9-11 I have a 1 bedroom plus loft condo rented.  It will be nice - but not sure who is going with me.  The girlfriends I took with me last spring are no longer friends.  :(

Fun, fun, fun

Life is good.  We just purchased our Zoo membership which means every Sunday at 9am Maggie and I will be back at the Zoo.  I love it!!  Can't wait to go tomorrow!!  We have 2 guest passes each trip so if someone wants to go with us all they have to do is let me know.  It is a fun year because we also have memberships to OMSI and The Children's Museum.  My most favorite by far is the zoo - fresh air, animals, and exercise.

I ordered sperm to be delivered next week.  Exciting and nerve wracking at the same time.  Exciting because I want to have 2 children and give Maggie the chance to have a sibling.  Nerve wracking because of the infinite unknowns.

I tm so tired...

I can't wait for this school year to be over. I am exhausted by the constant allergies, sinus infections and exhaustion brought on by working in my classroom.

I can't switch rooms because the other morning teacher is pregnant and I don't want to jeopardize her health or her babies health.  I guess if I end up pregnant at the end of this month then I will have to move to another site. Blah!
