Hugely exciting weeks

Well, I haven't written much these last few weeks. This is because I've had SUCH AN EXCITING TIME!! I get up in the morning and go to work. At work I grade kids' packets and give them pointers on their essays. Then I go home and sleep. Sometimes I'll wake up for dinner and then watch TV episodes online, but then I go to sleep again. Sometimes I feel terrible in the morning and have no voice and nothing but scratchiness and phlegm in my throat, so I don't go to work and the sleeping and TV-watching continues all throughout the day. It is all SO EXCITING!
Seriously, I thought this cold would last 2-3 days. This is turning into 2-3 weeks. I'm feeling much better this week, but it's still lingering. And I still feel crappy and worn out after a whole day of sitting at my desk at work. I seriously don't understand how that could wear me out. But neither do I understand how someone can kick me in the stomach from the inside. But it seems to happen.
I'm going to pretend my life is exciting.
Last week I got to dig out some of my summer clothes (I have the cutest summer maternity clothes!) and wear them without a jacket to work. This week I got to dig out my down coat and wear IT to work. Spring is so unpredictable!
I planted peas, carrots, beets, lettuce, and onions in my garden. I'm hoping to be able to pick and use some of them before I move in June. If that's the case, they'd better hurry up and produce/sprout. I had been pretty dutiful about watering them every day-- or at least every other day. Some days that would be all I'd do the whole day: waddle outside in my sweats with the watering can, then waddle back inside and collapse on the couch. And then it's been rainy or snowy often enough that on the days I don't water, I don't have to worry about the plantlings shriveling up. I worry, but I always find that my worries are unfounded. It might be (have been) warm, but it is not hot yet.
I'm starting up classes again. I'd been really hurting for motivation in my education classes, and I took a break starting in December. That was also when I was feeling really really crappy and sick, so it was a good time for a break. Now I'm realizing that if I don't get started again, I may have a child before I finish with my classes, and I have a feeling that would take its toll on my motivation. Also, for many of my classes I have to do classroom observations or things like that, and it's hard to do those in the summer when many classes are... out for the summer. So I'm finishing my two final classes before student teaching. Then I'll take a break until January. Yay!
So if all goes as planned, next summer I'll have a child AND a Master's degree. That makes me smarter than my dad! :D It'll be great!

Good luck!

I think the doldrums are pretty normal. Then when something exciting happens (like hospital stays or car crashes), we wish for the doldrums again.

This is why I say, good luck!
