Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

I am in grading hell.
Pull up a seat and I'll join you. Does it ever end?

How is it possible that some of their papers got worse from the first to second draft? I could weep.
I say the same thing all the time. It makes my head hurt.

By Friday the students are going to be insane!

Is the back arching a particular preemie thing? I can't think of a kid who hasn't done it in a temper. Usually around getting into the carseat when they really.don't.wanna and you are in the most awkward position ever, cramped in a car, usually when you are late.

It's really suprising how strong they are.

Nope. It's not a preemie thing. It's a baby thing. But, most people don't know, the arching thing means that they are not using their abs as much as they should. Lack of trunk strength = difficulty in sitting. So the more used to arching they get, the harder it will be to sit.

Didn't know that. But then, not an OT.

I think pediatric OT or infant OT would be a rocking job! Go play with babies. Of course, it's more like Go Make Babies Mad! So maybe not so fun.
