These eyes have seen a little sleep and their never gonna open unless I get some real sleep soon......BA, BA, BA!!!!!!
Apparently exhaustion gives you writer's block. Proof: no posts on the blog / no progress on the lesson plans for next week. So - why oh why do I appear to be a walking zombie?
1) I go back to work on Sunday. I've been "savouring" (ha!) my final days by stressing about my student's progress, going to school to meet with my colleagues, and figuring out ways to get everything back on track. Lame, I realize.
2) Nory had her vaccinations yesterday morning. Of course, there was the initial stress leading up to the event and then there was the three-injection experience itself. Let's just say that an Arabic-only government hospital, a line of screaming children, a not-so-sweet nurse, and Nory's ill-feeling aftermath have contributed to an overtired Nory and an overtired Mommy! The poor girl. She was not a happy camper yesterday and we can't blame her one bit. Fever + swollen and red welts on both of her legs lead to a day full of genuine "I'm really not feeling good" sobs. Enter the never-ending parade of crying, singing, cuddling, rocking, medicine, and heat packs! I think she's on the mend today....
I must also say that Nory and I caught the "breaking news" on ESPN late last night. HORRIFIC. Which leads me to the two things I really want to do but can't. Number one - stunt Nory's growth. Number two - place Nory in a perma-bubble. I understand that both ideas are unethical/unfair (settle down y'all!), alas it's something I will always wish for in the back of my mind.
Thoughts and prayers are being sent to Boston. XO
