I ran into several of my former students today at the mall - all recent graduates. And, oh, the indescribable relief that comes with knowing that all of the students I spoke with are going to college. Not loafing, not freeloading, not picking their noses. Going to college. I could have shed tears of joy - especially considering these students of mine were from my first year of teaching (which I won't bother trying to synopsize).
Meanwhile, Gabriel's still in my belly, though occasional and gradually more painful contractions seem to indicate to me that he won't be in there much longer. And the sooner he's here, the better. Goodbye, achy hips, Braxton Hicks, backaches,hot flashes, rib pains, and inability to trim or paint one's toenails. Mmm.
