2 down 4 to go

So, my husband is away at work camp with the high school youth from church up in Wisconsin. I hate staying by myself especially at night. I worry and get scared at every noise... I have made it two nights so far, but still have 4 more to go. He is coming home Saturday. Then in about 3 or 4 weeks he leaves again for a week of church camp. I had all of these plans to get things done while he was gone, but unfortunately haven't done much. I did start registering for some baby stuff, because my sister had the day off yesterday to go with me. Now, on to cleaning and laundry... Luckily I am starting to feel better and can get more accomplished than laying around and eating saltine crackers.

Yea!!! It's officially summer for me!!!

Life has been so busy over the past few weeks. Between my mom and us we have had lots of visitors lately. I finally have gotten everything packed from my classroom and have checked out of my room. (Now I just have to finish unpacking our cars...) I can't lift most of the stuff, so Justin gets the privilege of carrying all of my heavy boxes. I can't believe how much stuff I have. Nor could Justin.

Last Tuesday I had a doctor appointment. It was so neat to hear the heartbeat. It felt so much more real. My pants are starting to get tight and some won't even button... I have started my maternity clothes shopping for later on... I found some great clearance deals at Penneys for the winter. Unfortunately we don't have a lot of choices for maternity clothes here. I have started feeling a little better, but still have sick days. I had to leave in the middle of church to throw up, which was lovely. But I did feel better afterward.

I have started looking around at things I will need for the baby. My sister is coming to visit in August. (She lives in California) and wants to have a shower for me, so I wanted to start finding things. ONce again, slim pickins here... Anyone have suggestions on some things I must have...

So Glad its Saturday!

It was great to sleep in today. I have felt miserable all week and actually don't feel so bad today! Hopefully I don't jinx it! My sister and I are still having to take care of my mom. We take turns going over to her house. It makes for some long days though. She can't put any weight on her foot until she goes back to the doctor on June 16. Then they will do more x-rays and see how she is healing.

We have 6 more days of school and they will be very busy. I will be glad and sad when the school year is over. Sad because I won't be at my same school to get to see my kids next year. As soon as school gets out I get to start packing up all of my stuff. Fortunately they come and move it all for me. I actually think a reading position will be better for me being pregnant than teaching Kindergarten. Working with small groups will be nice.

The day after school gets out I have a doctor appointment. I am very excited to hear the heartbeat.

I am going to go attempt to plant my geraniums now. I went to dig up the old plants in the pot from last year and found a colony of ants. There were thousands! I was grossed out! We sprayed and dumped all of the old dirt out. So, now I have to get all new dirt before I can plant them. I love flowers! They make everything a little brighter!

Poor Mom

My poor mom has had all kinds of things go wrong for her lately. Today is the worst. She twisted and fell at the bottom of the stairs, hit her head on the tile, scratched up her arm and hurt her foot. I talked her in to going to the ER. It turns out she broke a bone in her foot and it is shattered. So she is most likely going to need surgery. I have to take her to the orthopedic doctor on Tuesday. She has a boot on her foot and crutches. She can't put any weight on it. I just feel bad for her... Say a prayer for her and her surgery. She is scared of having surgery...

Special Christmas Present

Justin and I will be getting the best Christmas present ever this year.... a baby. I am due Dec. 27. We are very excited! I am only 8 1/2weeks along, but couldn't hold in the secret any longer. I had to do a presentation at school today... a powerpoint of my first two years of teaching, so at the end my co-teacher Allison put that we were expecting on it. Everyone was so surprised! I wanted to be able to tell them before school was out. I have been trying to eat every couple of hours, but I still feel awful most of the time... and EXHAUSTED.

Counting down...

The end of the school year is such a crazy time of year. There is so much going on... We have only 13 more days! YEA!! Then I get to pack up my room to move to another school, which won't be a ton of fun... but maybe it will help me clean out some stuff that needs pitched. Since I won't be teaching Kindergarten, I need to decide what to pack to take home and what to pack to take to the new school.

For every day for the last 26 days of school we have been counting down starting with A was Apple Day, B was Banana Day, C was Cub/Cardinals day ( you would understand this if you lived in the midwest). etc. Well tomorrow is N day, which is Nice to each other day. One of my students said, "What are we going to do for that day?" To which I responded, "We are going to be nice to one another." They kind of looked at me for a second. I said, "Wouldn't it be nice if every day was be nice to each other day!" What a different world it would be... By the way Z is zip up and go home day!!

My husband is slowly recovering from his motorcycle accident. He has started playing softball again. He plays in a men's league on Mondays and Thursdays and our church league on Tuesdays. I usually only go to the church league games, because I have people to sit and talk with.

Justin's sister and her family are coming to stay with us this weekend, so we will have a busy weekend. She has a 6 year old and 1 year old, so it will be fun to see them.

Could we rewind and start the week over again?

I found out yesterday that I have been reassigned to another school teaching reading. I am lucky that I still have a job, however I like Kindergarten and I like my school. It stinks being low in seniority. I am very upset about the whole thing, but hopefully things will work out for the best.
