It's September and I'm excited for a second year teaching here. Although it's harder with Little Jazmine in our lives now. She's 2 months old and the easiest baby ever. My daughter hardly cries and spends most of her days staring at the world in awe with a clueless smile.

Robyn and I no longer share a room at home. Actually, since the house is a 4 bedroom and 3 bathroom, Robyn has her own room across the hall, and Jazmine has a room right between my door and her mommy's. We've become close friends and I have expressed that I'll always be there for my baby.

I get a text and open my phone. Sure enough, it's from Robyn.

Robyn 🧝🏾‍♀️:

*see attachment*
Jaz says "hey"

I smile as I see a picture of our daughter smiling widely, handing onto Robyn's fingers, as Robyn makes her wave.

Me:

Awwww
🥺
I miss my baby
She been good today?

Robyn 🧝🏾‍♀️:

Yeah. We both miss you.
Got a lot of papers to grade?

Me:

Not a lot

Robyn 🧝🏾‍♀️:

Come home to us.
I wanna tell you something
Plus Ariana's making some fancy dinner and watching Jazmine for us.

Me:

Give me about 30 minutes after dismissal and I'll be home.

Robyn 🧝🏾‍♀️:

Okay
Also, your daughter totally has your laugh.

Me:

I love you two ❤️❤️❤️☹️☹️☹️🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️

Robyn 🧝🏾‍♀️:

I KNEW YOU LOVED ME
you just never want to admit it
💀💀

Me:

Ro, you're Jazz's mom. I love you. I'm just not IN LOVE with you.

I quickly get off of my phone when one of my students comes up to my desk for a question on the worksheet I gave them. For some reason they have me doing music appreciation this semester even though I'm a drama teacher. I don't know what else to do but teach them how to count music and putting on a hip hop/rap playlist.

Most of the times they cut up and talk and hang around on their phones. I give them quick and easy A's because whatever. I don't wanna teach this lame ass shit either. I had a play ready to teach since summer, and then administration pulled this on me.

At least I have Drama after school on some days.
