Stolen: A Story of Plagiarism*
I don’t consider myself to be a great writer. I think I’m a good writer, but I know that I still have so many things I could improve on. I think that I sometimes have great ideas, but that it’s not always consistant. That’s why I was shocked when I found out that another website had blatantly stolen ten posts that I had recently written. But let’s start at the beginning, shall we? WordPress has this neat little feature on the dashboard that lets me sort out comments as they come in. Most are approved automatically, while ones that seem a little “spammy” are flagged for me to have a…

…is she pregnant?
One of my favourite aspects of being a pregnant substitute teacher is the looks I get from the staff in schools I don’t regularly go to. You see, in my mind there is no mistaking that I’m pregnant. Thus far I’ve managed to keep my weight gain and growth within a healthy limit and the only really noticeable expansion has been in my belly. If someone was looking at me from behind I could see how there could be some questions, but when you look at me head on I think: “BABY!” …apparently not. haha A little while ago I was called to go to a school that I have…

28 Weeks*
How Far Along: 28 Weeks* Size of Baby: Chinese Cabbage Weight Gain: 16 pounds (Still no movement here…) Movement: She has been dancing like crazy this week! After my big scare last weekend, I’ve been very conscious of her movements and when she is most active.

I can feel her most when I lay on my side–it usually feels like she’s river dancing on my belly and it always makes me laugh. The Hubster is starting to be able to feel her on a more regular basis, and this morning she…

27 Weeks* (And a dash of horomones)
How Far Along: 27 Weeks* Size of Baby: Cauliflower Weight Gain: 16 pounds Movement: Annnnd cue pregnancy hormones! My little wee-bean usually moves all the time–she is constantly turning and stretching and I’ve become quite used to feeling her poke around in my belly. I went to have a massage on Friday, and after I left I noticed that I couldn’t feel her moving around as often. She continued staying quiet on Saturday, and by Sunday morning I was feeling a lot of anxiety about it. Everything I’ve read has told me that a change or decrease in your baby’s movements can mean that she is in distress, so of…

A Hard Day*
I cried today. Actually, I cried twice today. And if you want to get really technical, I cried twice at work today. Before the first bell even rang. *sigh* It was one of those days. I didn’t get a call for work last night, so I assumed that I’d be off today. I always get up and get ready for work anyway, but today my heart was only half in it. My back was still bothering me, and I really wanted a day to veg and go thrift shopping–basically just have a “me” day. As the Hubster and I were sitting eating breakfast at 7:20 this morning, my phone rang.…
