Mrs. Moore Got Beat Up Today
I don't know if it was the clumsiness inherent in pregnancy or just a really bizarrely painful day, but I got beat up at work today. My feet got stepped on three separate times, which is not all that unusual for a teacher. However, when you've got a huge belly as a buffer, it takes some skill to get close enough to even reach my toes! One of the lead-footed children was a kindergartner who actually ducked under the belly to plant firmly on my poor big toe! I also got kicked in the shin (on accident), hit on the head with a four foot tall white board (on accident), almost got hit on the head with a full-size United States topographical/political map (managed to catch it mid-air), and bumped my belly multiple times on various countertops, desk corners, and the backs of children's heads. This doesn't even count the number of times my hip pops out (every time I sit down) and has to be worked back into place (every time I stand up). This morning, I was sitting on the rug for about a half an hour and ended up with a completely dead right leg. When I got up (eventually) my face was bright red and I was limping to try to get circulation back. The poor special ed teacher who was helping out in my room thought I was having contractions! Here's hoping I make it through tomorrow in one piece!
