-- I haven't packed my hospital bag yet and just don't feel like doing it. Besides, half the stuff I need to pack I'm still using
-- having to pee every 20 minutes
-- the ever-spreading stretch marks
-- my long-term sub plans are not done yet
-- I haven't finished my thank you notes (I had like 50 to write!)
-- I am in charge on the literary magazine for 6th grade and it's not finished (almost, though) and I'm scared it won't be done before I leave
-- my last day is a week from tomorrow and I am worried I'll cry. I don't want to cry at school in front of my kids
-- my room at school needs to be cleaned out asap
-- Gracie (our rat terrier) has another ear infection-- a bad one! She has horrible chronic allergies and she keeps scratching in her ear and making it infected. She gets rashes too. :-(
-- I've had more meetings than ever at school and I haven't had time to get anything done. There's no use staying until 6:00 because I am too tired and am supposed to be resting in the afternoons. Yeah, right.
Totally agree about the hospital bag...can't pack my toothbrush, makeup, etc...because I have to use those every day.
I am currently working on my long term sub plans...just taking a short break so I don't go absolutely bananas. I never realized there was so much to do.

Posted by: Laura at March 23, 2006 11:31 PMI wouldn't stress about it. I was sent to the hospital straight from a Dr. visit so I didn't have anything. You'll get wht you need, don't worry. And try not to worry about the class stuff or stress about thank you notes--if you don't get to them, send them out with the birth announcement!. Everyone understands. I'm sure of that. You "Type A" personalities need to come over to the B, C, and D sides once in a while. Just kidding ;o), but do try to take it easy on yourself.
Posted by: Elaine at March 24, 2006 09:45 AMI totally understand! I still have like 25 more notes to write, and I keep putting it off. And I lay in bed at night (waking up to pee every half hour or so, TOTALLY ruining my night's sleep) and my hips just itch and I can totally picture the stretch marks spreading all over my body.
Not to mention that right now is just a frustrating time for us both!!

i'm currently 35 weeks pregnant and i can definitely relate to the first two on your list. the bathroom is my 2nd home at this point.
Posted by: crystal at March 24, 2006 03:36 PMDon't worry about the bag - just keep a list of things you plan to pack, and dump them into a bag when it's time. And if there's a time that thank you notes can be overlooked or delayed, it's when a new baby is involved.
Can't help you with the pee issue, except to say, be thankful your trips to the bathroom aren't closer together.
