maternity leave

mrs. stanton is on leave. officially maternity leave. i was going to wait until next friday, but decided an additional week was best for our family. i know i will never be able to prepare enough, but i can get more rest and relaxation. i will need all the energy i have to birth this sirloin and it was getting sucked out of me each day teaching 20 six year olds.

i can now go back to afternoon naps, reading books, morning exercises, non saturday laundry and lunches with the giant.

well, as least until baby comes. but even if i only get one day of this, it was worth it.
