Great, so I start a blog and then I totally stop writing in it for several days. I'm ready for a vacation. For me that would be NOT seeing my students for at least two weeks. I'd probably want that to happen with my kids too. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I hate my kids and have become a bitter middle-aged mean mom; it's just that I also need some time for myself. I want to actually be able to hear the thoughts in my head, and with kids around (the feared teenagers) it becomes an almost impossible task!! They usually listen to music at top volume (in their Ipod) and poke fun at me because I tell them I can actually hear their music in my bedroom and behind the closed door!!! They're like "no way mom, your hearing can't be that good" Whoever said it was a good thing? I wish I could become deaf by choice whenever it suits me. Wouldn't it be awesome to "tune out" your kids when they're whining, arguing or just when they're being impossibly stubborn? I'm getting too old for that. Really, I don't think it's a blessing to be equipped with super-hearing.
The funny thing is, I used to bug my mom about the exact same thing when I was 12 and she kept saying "wait til you have kids of your own". Gee, mom you were right about that too.
