Okay... so I absolutely love being pregnant! I loved it with Ella and couldn't wait to get pregnant the second time. However, I do not remember being this moody, emotional, angry, unpatient, etc., etc., etc. the first time around!!! I know that I am driving everyone around me nuts, but I just can't help it. I just hope they can make it through the next 3 months alive! (lol :) )
Of course teaching full-time during the last few weeks of school with 30 very excited fourth graders wears on my patience, but I'm usually such a patient person. Not so much these days and I dislike this part of pregnancy so much! I pray every morning before entering the building that I will be patient and upbeat, but it is a struggle not to lose that patience within the first few hours. Then, when I get home (exhausted and with little to no patience left) Ella decides to be two! [haha] Bless her little heart because she is such a sweet child and I am so blessed to have such a well-behaved daughter, but her tantrums these days are out of this world! She yells and hits and pouts and says "No" and says "Stop" and throws herself on the floor and never ever wants to leave any place she stays and don't even mention bathtime!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe it wouldn't be SO bad if I didn't work with children all day????
So, this felt good to get out all of my frustration and to laugh at what I wrote when I was finished. Prayers are welcome in order for this mommy to make it until August! :)

I hear you! Toddlerhood, working with needy patients, and being pregnant is testing my patience too.
I don't even want to think about being hot and uncomfortable as the summer comes and I have a big belly! Bring on the prayers. :)
Bless your heart! I don't know how you work with children all day and then go home to a toddler even when you're not pregnant! Not too much longer though, you can do it!
AMEN!!! I have talked to many teachers that say mommy-ing is hard after working with kiddos all day. And I TOTALLY agree!
Looks like I've got a lot to look forward to, or dread...:)
It is extremely hard having a toddler and now a newborn, and I haven't been back to work yet! I just try to keep things in perspective, and most of the time when my reaction is to get frustrated and crazy I try to laugh at the situation. And really think about how fast it all goes, and it helps. (With lots of prayer too. :)
