Holy Shit Where Did the Week Go?

Well I have two MeMes from Earth Muffin that I have to do, as well as a ton of other shit so that all must wait until the weekend. But I have a ton of other shit to get off my chest so here goes.

I took Baby Gnat to the Doctor this week as she needed a physical for the new babysitter. Well... um.... I am a great, wonderful, loving caring, outstanding mother but I have not kept up on her immunizations. Like, she has not had any since she left the hospital the day she was born. Now I am not trying to be radical in not immunizing my child, but for crying out loud Doctor. Do not belittle me for not doing so, she is my child and I am SUPER busy and actually we do not go to the Doctor that often so getting her immunized was not my top priority. Also, public health clinic please do not talk down to me, I am not PWT (poor white trash), and when I decline the MMR because I would like to find a Green Doctor who will give the MMR in three separate shots please do not announce to the whole group of people waiting in line that "SHE DECLINED THE MMR" while you are shouting across the room to the nurse who is setting up what vaccinations Baby Gnat will be getting. See the county Public Health Service has a clinic at various locales throughout the county on various days of the week, their set up so that when you walk in the door you sign in and get the necessary paper work filled out for the vaccinations you need, then they tell the nurse across the room what she needs to get out, then you walk across the room (this happened to be a fellowship hall at a tiny church), and you get the said shots. I am not a criminal because I didn't have my vaccines up to date. Also Doctor, if I choose to not feed Baby Gnat meat until she is older, that is okay too. She is getting all the protein she needs from my BOOBS, and from the various vegetables and dairy products that I feed her. She eats tofu, she eats beans, I eat nuts and meat. I think her dietary intake of protein is satisfactory. And no, Crabby Patty I am not starting some radical movement by not vaccinating my kid. Like I said MY KID.

Okay on to less bitchier things. I love my cooperating teacher, Pete. She has already let me teach some lessons, which have gone great. I like my class of Third Graders, they are so eager to learn and think that it is really neat that I am still in school and that they get to have 2 teachers until December. They actually listen to me and respect me like they should. YIPEE.

I bought a book that is helping me deal with Eddy's health issues and that is going GREAT. Three days of being TOTALLY CLEAN!!! He is actually behaving himself while the Anti-Hippie has been gone, and I can see that he is really trying to help me. He is a great kid with tons of potential to be a wonderful adult, and I love him dearly, I hope we are on the road to recovery and we have turned over a new leaf.

I still have not found before or after school care for Eddy but Baby Gnat's sitter is really working out. She is very patient with the fact that Baby Gnat is having some separation anxiety right now, and was so excited about Baby Gnat taking her first steps on Wednesday at her house. That makes me sad that I was not there, but I am happy it happened at Jamie's house.

I miss the Anti-Hippie so much, but when he leaves for two weeks it gives me time to assert some of my independence. I feel empowered, (I feel empowered when he is here, but right now it is just me, I have the 2 kids and I am responsible for EVERYTHING). I also am not washing 17 loads of laundry a day, nor am I washing dishes every night. I miss him and can't wait to F*** his brains out when he gets home, but being here alone reminds me how lucky I am than I have such a good guy whom is not bothered by helping out equally with housework or child rearing.

Well it seems like this week just flew by, and not that I am hoping my life away but let the next 14 weeks go by equally as fast so that I can be finished with this student teaching and I can work on getting my own classroom, or at least a job!
