05/23/2008: "Walking tall"
Hi! Guess where I spent all day yesterday? Hint: it was not in my classroom.
Before you freak and think I broke another limb, I assure you it was also not the Emergency Room. I almost sort of wish it was though (since they have the good drugs there), as I was in an all-day district wide leadership meeting and I am not even officially a Leader. I was a Leader. Before I broke my leg. Then I was relieved of duty. But the replacement Leader is retiring and really pushing for me to re-take the job. I am ambivalent about this for many reasons (most of which are named Dessa). Suffice it to say that I wasn't expecting to go to this meeting so I ran around like an insane person trying to put together lesson plans. And then sat in the meeting all day. You know how that goes.
Then I went racing over to Kaiser for an appointment with Dr. Useless and found out that the appointment was not until 4 pm (I thought it was at 3:30). Extremely annoying, because of a phone call I got from my Mom at 3 pm.
Brrrrrring! Brrrrrring! (imagine that this is the sound of my cell phone. Even though when my cell phone rings, it sings, "Yo, ho, yo, ho, a pirate's life for me")
Me: Hello?
Mom: Hello. It's me. Everything's fine (she always tell me this so I don't freak out). But guess what your daughter just did.
Me: What'd she do? (As an aside, I was really hoping it was not something I would have to clean up)
Mom: She just walked!
Me: Oh my God!
Mom: Yep. She took four steps toward her toys without any support.
Me: And I missed it!?
So you can see where my priorities are. But yeah. She's started walking now. She's been a demon with the cruising and the crawling, which she finally got the hang of, but now that's not enough. Now it's walking. What next? Marathons?
Video to come, but I need some free time to transfer and edit it so possibly over the weekend. It's odd. Last Memorial Day weekend I was hoping to go into labor. And now Dessa walks. What the hell happened?
