My baby boy,

Today was better and it was probably because I was busy. I worked today, came home and took the Christmas lights down outside, and managed a later than usual dinner for everyone.

I really enjoy subbing for the younger kids. I was in second grade today and at one point I got to listen to a couple minute debate on whether some boys thought aliens existed or not. One had a theory that they used to, but they blew themselves up. I wish I could have heard more, but we needed to finish reading our book about stars and constellations.

I was forced to put my big girl pants on today, though, and do something I would usually leave for someone else. There was a wasp in the classroom this morning and I had to act like it was no big deal and take care of it. I thought I did, but it appeared about an hour later on one of the girl’s heads. I managed to drape care of it the third time, but I just thought it was funny. I was successful this time with trapping.

I love you more than anything in the world; baby boy. Goodnight and sweet dreams.
