School Days

So I officially started back to school this week. I have been on duty since mid-July, but the kids have now joined in on all the fun. Monday was a Freshmen only day and even though I don't teach Freshmen, I help organize the "Freshmen First Day." It was a crazy day from start to finish. I was required to wear a new faculty shirt and slacks. I went shopping this weekend and purchased two pairs of slacks, both which require me to wear a small heel in order for my pants not to drag the ground. I looked great, but by the end of the day I was experiencing my first case of swollen ankles and swollen feet. I guess I wasn't used to wearing heels for eight hours and I hadn't stood up the entire day since June 5th. What a mistake. I am taking the new slacks to the tailor ASAP. I need to be able to wear my flats with them instead. Tuesday and today I wore dresses and more sensible shoes, but the swollen and aching feet are still an issue. I guess I need to start teaching from a chair in the front of the room or roll around in a rolling chair while they work on the computer. Oh how things are changing. I went to the doctor last week for my glucose test. The nurse accidentally ordered a thyroid test and if I hadn't mentioned anything to the lab tech then I would have had to come back and drink the yucky juice again. I definitely would have been ticked off. I go for my 30 week ultrasound on September 8th, so I'll post some more pics of our precious Cole. Here is a picture of me (and Cole) on the first day back with my students.
