Woop there it is!

I have several things I need to be doing at this very moment but I’m laying in bed with Ezra. We just watched three episodes of Nailed It and he’s super geeked about his current birthday theme, although we all know this is subject to change. Theoretically I should be doing my DQ for Friday or filling out my student teaching application or killing off a character in my novel (I finally mapped it out shout out to P for helping me get out of my head). However my place is here with Ezra rubbing his back. He’s still a bit miffed at me about his dental surgery. 

His gums are still sore af but it hasn’t stopped him from eating everything in sight today. I think it’s partly because he ate practically nothing for two days. Today is the first day he felt well enough to really chow down. He had three servings at dinner plus his snack before dinner. Or maybe it’s a growth spurt, who knows. 

It was nice to get back to school today. I went to my class for a couple of hours then went to Ezra’s class and volunteered. His teacher is really cool and I appreciate how she manages her classroom. Her and Mrs E are seriously #teachergoals and I aspire to get on their level. I had fun today tho. One of my littles has really been listening and taking my advice about taking deep breathes before she writes stuff down. It really helps her handwriting. I am a bit..letdown that a student who was making such progress is no longer with us. I hope wherever he’s at the teachers/staff realize that he’s special and he just needs someone to love him and help him love himself. 

My back is teetering on the precipice of going out. It flatlined yesterday so I slapped on some creams on myself so I could move around today. After school today I came home and laid on a heating pad and lost three hours of my life. Sometimes when I'm in pain I sleep more and then sometimes I have trouble sleeping. I'm curious as to what kind of night today will be.
