Recap of Friday and Saturday morning.

Yesterday was the Mother's Day Breakfast at Scarlett's Daycare.  It was just so nice to give her breakfast there and not rush right off to work.  Scarlett "made" me a card and a flower pot with a flower with her smiling face in the middle.  It really was such a nice gift and I will keep her little flowery face as my table centrepiece.

My anxiety and vertigo seems to be coming down.  Yesterday at recess, I was talking to another teacher who was confiding in me about her own anxiety issues.  She was very apparently shaking the way I have noticed in myself the past little while.  Not to play on her own problems, but I felt very relieved knowing that my body shakes were nothing more than anxiety and not some debilitating illness that was starting to quickly take over my body.  It reassured me that I'm going to be okay while I could also sympathize with her at the same time.

Today the vertigo has been much more mild, although it's been settling in for a little while now this afternoon.  I will definitely have to get out for a brisk walk or do some skipping or jumping around for a while.  I'm sure that with my period leaving the vertigo will go away too.

Scarlett and I had a lovely Saturday morning together.  She fed herself her breakfast, dipping her spoon into her berries (with me holding the bowl) and then to her mouth.  Then she did the same with her "o's".  I am so proud of her.  We went to the grocery store - I have yet to put her into the cart.  I just use the stroller and hang bags off the back.  She's so comfortable in there and can look out at everything happening and I just didn't need so many things.  Then we met up with a friend and her son at the park by my place for an impromptu outdoor playdate.  Scarlett was insisting on "walk, walk" but she can't walk and needs her walker.  She was very happy to hold my hands and "walk, walk".

Scarlett also enjoyed eating sand for the first time.  You would think after the first time she wouldn't have tried it again....no, she tried it again!  LOL....she's teething and that shovel was going into the mouth with or without sand on it.

One final thing....
I was reading our weekly agenda for this coming week and I noticed that I was booked in for a meeting on Wednesday morning from 8:30 - 10:00 am.  Well, that's a shock.  There are a lot of issues going down at my work these days involving administration and some upset staff members.  I am trying to keep my nose clean.  But at the same time, to find out that I am scheduled for a meeting by reading the weekly and not being told personally was frustrating.  Not to mention that Wednesday is my CD9 and I have an u/s and b/w and the review with my doctor to find out why he wanted to see me.  I won't be at work for 8:30am.  I emailed to question my administration about what the meeting was for (it's for my new position next year) and to say that I wouldn't be there before 8:45.  I just think there is some sort of disconnect when we aren't asked if we are available to meet when meetings are scheduled.  How about letting me know that I'll have to prepare for someone to be covering my class.  Oh boy!

I'm looking forward to our Mother's Day together tomorrow.
