Well, another chaotic week filled with stressful lows and musical highs! This week, a friend, Todd, christened Little Bean Baby-o-head because Little Bean and I attended 3 Radiohead concerts in 5 days! We even drove an hour ½+ to see them in Santa Barbara for the last day of their tour. The Radiohead crew always included Michelle, Todd, Baby-o-head, and I. We were hardcore and so, a silly friend gave us a silly name. Rightfully so if you ask me.
The downside, school began for us and so, I had to go back to work a week earlier than I had planned when I first bought the tickets in April. Trying to balance the stressfulness of the first week of school (at a new school) and going to long planned concerts t
hat would get us home late when I had to wake up early and focus on being a teacher was oober tough, but we survived. The concerts were amazing though. I wish I could feel Baby-o-head move so I could tell he/she was feeling and hearing it. Monday night was the best because it included yummy cupcakes from Dots in Pasadena. I wanted red velvet so bad (just look at that picture), but as I just discovered, its bloody chocolate! (okay, so I'm slow, sue me) No chocolate for us so I had a yummy-yummy strawberry shortcake. I spent it with amazing loved ones. We had last minute guest appearance from Stephanie and her nephew Roman. Ryan was unable to attend so we had to sell the extra tickets. It was sad not to go with him but it was still filled with love and music. Baby-o-head and I made the best of it. I did try to text him from the show but my dumb phone wasn’t cooperating. The songs sounded so much better with a little belly rubbing. My little bump is looking cute. Only visible to those who know, to others, I just had a good summer (nudge-nudge).
Once again, this was the first week back to work and like a bike, you just don’t forget how to teach. I was really nervous about everything. More so about the wardrobe since my boss still doesn’t know about my little bump. Work, well it was stressful and
this is why I am more motivated to tell my boss asap. I can’t afford to put Little Bean into such situations where stress can take me over. I have learned to take it easy but I still have spurts of stress and I don’t want to cause any danger to its development. I have worked so hard these past few weeks to ensure a nice peaceful environment. I don’t need the stress that 3 days of teaching has caused me. The silly thing is, it’s not the kids, they're great (though I am struggling with one) but it is parents that overwhelm me. I need to learn to deal and balance this new move. I know it was the right move but I have to get over this hurdle. I hope I continue to have support from my boss. He has been great so far. I have to remember what is important here, and it's the little one growing quietly in my tummy.
I’ve b
een playing my little Buddha Machine Music Box to Little Bean. It’s a little music box that continuously plays an enlightened monk, drone-like instrumental. Just in case Little Bean got sick of Radiohead (don’t know how) but a little meditation music helps both of us relax and enjoy quiet time together.
Oooooooommmmm.
