holiday break . . .

My last day of work was Friday.  It was also the last day of school before winter break - so everybody was packing it up for the holiday.  I was busy wrapping up many things and trying to leave with things in order to make an easy transition to the next teacher.  I prepared as much as I could, and accepted that I couldn't do it all, and as I was leaving I realized that I didn't feel the overwhelming sense of relief and freedom that I expected.

I felt a little panicked.

My mind switched full force to "the baby is coming" and I started creating things in my mind that we had to buy: a different type of night gown for me, a baby tub, a nose cleaner thing . . .

Nothing really important I guess, but it all felt really important at once.

I tried to watch some videos on labor and delivery.


It didn't help.
