Milestones

Sorry I missed a blog yesterday - I was beat! I fell asleep at 8:00 last night. And, big news - Lucy slept from 8:00 until 4:30 in the morning! 8.5 hours! Of course, I still woke up every hour to check on her (will that ever stop!), but it was nice to just pop back into bed. I did have to put her pacifier in at 11:30, but she fell right back asleep, so I figure she couldn't have been too hungry, if she was hungry at all. In other news, you won't believe it, but she rolled over today! For a while now, ever time you put her on her back she immediately goes to her side and tries to roll over and gets very frustrated that she can't. Well, today when I came home from school, we had her on the bed and she totally did it! She still hasn't figured out how to pull her arm out from under her, but she did roll. We tried to put her on her back to see if she could do it again, but she just went back to trying and being frustrated. Anyway, I think that is pretty cool, although now I'll probably be waking up more often at night to check on her, I bet.
Work is just clicking along. I'm really trying not to have a bad attitude, but some times I slip. It's just really hard to care about work right now, especially when I am often so tired. I think it will get better after Christmas - it's also hard because I have to write these letters and I don't know the kids AT ALL. So, I am utterly and completely b.s.ing my way through (pardon my French). These letter have every "recommendation word" I know in them. Every student is "diligent" "dedicated" and "an enthusiastic learner." They could all be total schmucks for all I know. Hopefully they have a couple of good teacher letters to balance mine out. I feel badly, but what can you do?
