Awkward....

So, now that I am back to work and want to continue to nurse Will as much as possible, I have to pump. I pump everyday during my lunch break. I'm SUPER nervous about how awkward that has the potential to be! That's a phone call home to explain that I hope to NEVER make! I cover my door window (with two layers...tape isn't that sticky), lock my door (and check that it's locked about 3 times), put a note up: "I'm busy...please come back later!" and close all the blinds.

Of course, I still get about 3 or 4 kids that come knocking at the door. When I first came back to work I explained to them that they need to make sure they get everything they need before they leave for lunch, because I have to "get some things done" during recess and have to lock the door. They all must think I'm so mean and anti-social for locking them out...little do they know it really is in their best interest....and mine.

So today a little girl said, "Teacher, why do you always lock the door at lunch?"

Me: "Oh I just have some things I have to do."

Her: "But why do you need to lock it?"

Me: "Just a lot to do!"

Her: "Well why do you cover the window?"

Me: "Oh I just don't want people to peek in while I'm trying to get things done."

Her: "Why?"

Me: "I just don't. Then I can't work!"

Her: "Well what work are you doing that you don't want other people to see?"

Me: "Oh just a lot of work. Anyway....what book are you reading?"

So persistent! Like my awkward change of subject? Ha...it's all I could think of to get this kid off my case! I feel so mean locking everyone out, but the quiet is kinda nice....Let's just hope that tape sticks and door lock works!
