so much going on...

nick's follow-up was yesterday and it went really well. they had to suck out some gunk that was stuck in his sinuses, but the doctor said it should all be good now. he did have a headache early today, but when we got home he seemed much better. i love that the dark circles are finally going away from under his eyes. i'm just praying that he'll continue to get better and that the neurologist will take him off the meds she prescribed...we'll see her on tuesday.

i'm super behind in schoolwork. i have 2 tests this weekend, and about 10 papers to do. once we get past tomorrow i'll be able to focus on it all. we have a youth fundraiser at our house...parents' night out...how things like this happen sometimes is beyond me. they just seem to appear out of thin air sometimes, and end up at my house. lol

pregnancy issues...pelvic bones are shifting too early, so i'm in a lot of pain...along with lovely round ligament pain... went to the doctor wednesday afternoon, got checked out and everything is fine. so i'm told to stay off of my feet as much as possible...i work at a school, are you kidding me? also, i'm having people at my house tonight...not staying off the feet today...gotta clean the house and then help watch at least a dozen kids! on the plus side, my ultra-sound is tuesday. i can't wait to find out what kind of little bun is in the oven! i've got so many sewing and crafting projects in mind, but need to know what's coming first! then we'll find out if we need to actually agree on a boy name (which we haven't been able to do), or if we'll get to use our chosen girl name... stay tuned!

life's been so busy...

I haven't had much exciting stuff to post here at all. For anyone who happens to still pop by occasionally, sorry I've become so boring! LOL

Today our youth group is going ice skating. It was supposed to be "Serve and Skate", but the "serve" part fell through. The lady we were supposed to do stuff for (yardwork and clean-up around the house) has company coming. It should be fun, and Elisabeth gets to come, so she's excited to try ice skating for the first time.

Let's see. Our school is down-sizing on staff because of 2 new schools opening in the area. Thanks to our fiasco move to the other side of the state, I had resigned and therefore lost my position on the seniority list. So, now I'm last on the list and depending on the allocations to see whether or not I get to stay. Elisabeth came into my room at school one day this week with her face all splotchy and a school letter in hand, she had misread the letter and thought she wasn't going to get to come back to our school next year. Poor thing. I hope I can stay just because of her, but we're losing two principals, so who knows how good our staff will be next year anyway. If I do get the bump, I'm willing to go to one of the new schools. They have some really good administration people, so I'd be fine there. Plus, Elisabeth's best friend Alex will be going to the new school....it wouldn't be all bad.

So that's the excitement around here.

I do have to say though, we've met some great people through our "new" church, and have made some awesome friends. That feels nice for a change. Usually we get shoved off with the youth and none of the adults really try to let us in and get to know us. Our church is gearing up for it's first anniversary, pretty exciting stuff going on there.
