C-R-E-A-T-I-O-N

This moved me one evening in the midst of a crazy work week as I sat down to catch up on some baby reading. I have been working crazy hours for a few weeks and have been busy with a multitude of things whizzing by as we prepare to train nearly 1200 people in the next two weeks.

This has happened a variety of times - while interviewing applicants, in principal meetings, talking about the securing of additional funding for next year. This woman took the words right out of my heart:

My baby quivers inside my belly

and my world stops.

Around me, clouded and fuzzy, 

Computers whirr,

Errand boys run, 

Telephones ring. 

Hustling and bustling, 

the office carries on. 

But I sit, seat pushed back 

from my desk

with my hand on the future.

-Marlene Anne Bumgarner

Lots of baby posts lately. Can you tell what is on my mind?
