man the crazy thing about babies is that like, some people would think that reading a baby a book about farm animals is teaching them about farm animals, but really it’s teaching them about the concept of a book and how there’s new information on each page of a single object, but really, beyond that,it’s teaching them how language works, and beyond that it’s really actually teaching them about human interaction, and really really it’s them learning about existing in a three-dimensional space and how they can navigate that space, but actually, above all it is teaching them that mama loves them.
i love drag i love abortions i love vaccines and most importantly of all i fucking hate the military heart emoji fire emoji muscle emoji one hundred emoji explosion emoji
hate how so much of adult friendship relies on updates, experiencing your life through pictures and tidbits. we had it good with childhood friends, could spend years and years basking in the same circumstance. now i just float through clouds of strangers, hungry for something solid and warm. yes i carry your heart within mine, yes i see the world through your eyes. but in that very moment i still feel alone, still know it’s poor substitute for same room, twin smiles.
Had a late night at school on Monday so said to myself this morning oh I’ll leave at half four and try and relax and get an early night, 10am head teacher comes in and says o****d are coming so I didn’t manage to leave until half fucking seven, haven’t slept more than 5 hours a night since going back to work and I’m on my period I am literally on the edge
however, I did have one of those rare ‘I love being a teacher’ moments this week where one of my girls, who had recently arrived (by herself) from Spain and speaks no English wrote a sentence in English on her whiteboard and brought it up to show me, big smile on her face. And today, she went to her back and came back with a sticker for me to put on. Crying in the club rn
one of my kids told me today I look like miss trunchbull. She said we have the same hairstyle. Another one who has a condition where he vomits randomly told me he was gonna puke on my shoes. One of them wouldn’t stop singing mama Mia while I was teaching. One of them tried to eat an ice cube during science.
