Stunned.

My husband has been having an affair. I don't know the extent of it yet. What I thought was my life is a lie. And I have been hiding the pain he has put on me for the past few months from you. I was using this blog as an escape and a way to look for the positives in my life.

I don't know if I will post anymore here, but if you want to contact me please use the email address ashleyreser@yahoo.com, message my facebook account, or text my cell. I don't know if/when I will respond. Please do not post on my facebook wall or twitter feed. 

 I am Furious. Betrayed. Deceived.

I am Strong. Loyal.  Loved.

You sneaky...

When I was about 14 weeks along I told Jason that it was so weird to be in my body because it wasn't acting like MY body.  He laughed, but the phenomenon of my body feeling so foreign was frustrating.  I couldn't eat what I had always eaten. I couldn't sleep like I had previously slept.  Pooping was a totally different experience of which I will spare you the details (for now).

As of the past week my body has decided to re-rebel against me. So far I've spilled 2 glasses of water, one school carton of milk, dropped at least 20 pieces of popcorn at Benny's in one sitting, and ruined 3 shirts due to spills.  A few days ago I was walking around my classroom while the kiddos were working on an quarterly assessment and again, my body betrayed me in a serious Benedict Arnold sort of way.

Without warning a tiny poot escaped with a noise far exceeding its size.

It was a moment where my character was tested.

I glanced down at the nearest child as though the offending noise and scent could be his doing.

Teacher Fail. What were my options? The dog was at home...
