School Year Begins August 22, 2007

So on Monday my little darlings came to school.  I started out with 21 students, and I’ve already had two drop and two more added. Funny how that works out. My first day went awesome.  No complaints.  Yesterday I had to break up a fight in the bathroom.  Only after it worked it’s way to the point where I could break up the fight.  Had one of the students actually run off, and I had to call the security officer.  Which was able to find him.  The rest of yesterday was just crazy because of it.  Today was much better.  I took CoCo into class, so now they know that if they misbehave, she’ll be coming right back home.

Yesterday was not a great day.  I wasn’t feeling very well and I think they picked up on that.  I was on the verge of getting sick a few times.  Had to explain to them why i had to eat in front of them.

I’ve got papers to grade and forms to fill out. Have a wonderful night!

Nesting August 16, 2007

So I’ve been home for about 2 hours now, and I’ve been “nesting.” Meaning I picked up the living room, finally threw away really old junk mail that has been piled on the table, and cleaned up the kitchen.

I had an OB appointment today.  I almost broke into tears while waiting for the doctor.  Mom went with me because Clint and Amy left today for Indy.  After sitting there for almost an hour, I went up to the receptionist and asked how much longer the waitt was going to be.  That’s when they told me that she had left to go deliver a baby. They wanted me to reschedule.  At this point my eyes welled up, and I asked if there was any way that I could see another OB Doctor.  They went to find out.  I was really stressed out and wanted to cry because I had taken off work to come to the doctor.  After about 15 more minutes of waiting they called me back.  (Side Note: I haven’t been sleeping well at night, and was starting to worry about the baby because I am exhausted all the time.)  That’s when they told me that Dr. Cobbinah was back and that she could see me.  That made me extremely happy.

Mom got to hear the heartbeat today.  She lit up.  Today is her wedding anniversary.  My dad and her have been married for 31 years.  I guess that was my gift to her.  The doctor informed me that I have to slow down.  She told me that I have to start relaxing the minute I get home.  And that by 8pm I need to be laying down somewhere resting.  I can take Tylenol PM to help me sleep, so I’m looking forward to taking that and getting a good night’s sleep.

The house is very quiet.  I actually plugged in our “rabbit” ears into the TV tonight.  I needed something to fill the house with noise.  It’s nice to have the house to myself, but at the same time I miss Clint something fierce.  Yesterday I was crying on my way home because I missed him, and just wanted to be with him.  Last week I was gone from Sunday to Wednesday. Worked in the classroom Thursday and Friday.  Saturday and Sunday we were with our families.  Monday I started back to work which means I’m leaving at 6:30 and not coming home until almost 5.  He had class Monday night so no Clint.  Last night we had open house until 8.  I met 5 of my students, but I didn’t get out of there until after 8 which put me home at almost nine.  My drive takes about 30 minutes. Yesterday I was there for 13 hours.   It really sucked because I knew that Clint would be leaving today, and I just wanted to be with him.  He held me all night because he was missing me just as much.

Tomorrow will be a long day as well because it’s another open house.  We get to leave early on Friday, so that will be  nice.  I’m going to Knob this weekend so that I don’t have to spend it alone.  I have Shannon’s bridal shower this weekend, and Geoff flies in.  Sunday will be my day that I look forward to because Clint comes home.

They did make it to Indy okay.  Amy’s ears won’t pop on the airplane, but she finally got adjusted.  I told her to chew gum on the way home.

Well, I’m going to take some dirty clothes downstairs, and then go up to the bedroom.  I’m got some clean clothes to put away that Clint did yesterday.  I think I’m going to put clean sheets on the bed too.  That will feel nice tonight!

My School August 10, 2007

So, my brain as calmed down a bit.  I’ve decided to put up so information about my school.  I found out some cool information about my school.  Like we have two football teams.  One tackle, and one flag.  Both are played on our football field.

 

Here’s a direct link to the article about the football field.  ARTICLE

 At my school we use the reading program called Success For All (SFA).  That’s what I spent 2 days getting training in.  My brain was on fire from all the knowledge and paperwork that has to be done with this program.  What’s nice, and my favorite aspect of the whole thing is the fact that I don’t have to come up with Lesson Plans on my own.  SFA has done all that for me.

I also spent a day receiving training in Everyday Math.  I picked that up very quickly, but I think it’s because I’m a math person.

Check out the links to SFA and Everyday Math.  You might learn something new.

Home Sweet Home! August 10, 2007

I got back from St. Louis last night about 9pm.   I learned a lot and I mean a lot!   I am so glad to be home though.  I missed my Clint alot.  It was nice to get away, but I was glad to be home.  I spent all afternoon in my classroom working on stuff.   I got most of the stuff organized, the major thing that is left organizational wise is my classroom library. This is a short but sweet post, because my mind is running so fast I can’t even think about what to type.  Maybe it will calm down soon.

More Medical Stuff August 3, 2007

Went to the infectious disease doc today.  He took me off the Bactrium. Which makes me happy.  The only twist to me being taken off that, involves and IV.  The nurse at his office put in a mainline IV, basically it’s the same as the a normal IV, but it involves 8 inches of silicon tubing shoved inside my vein.  I have to give myself IV treatments for the next 5 days.  If I could find my camera, I would take a picture of what I currently look like.  My left arm is still bandaged from the surgery. Now, my right arm has an IV shoved in it, and a nice mess sleeve over the area.  Clint and I went to lunch today, and I got funny looks from people at the restaurant.

It’s slightly sore.  But the nurse said it would be for awhile.  Hopefully my room mate in St. Louis won’t think I’m a druggie or something.  Bright side to all of this is the fact that I’ll be down with my antibiotics next Wednesday!!!  And my wound should be almost completely healed.

Well time to find something for dinner.

Same Ol’ Same Ol’ August 3, 2007

Yesterday I did a lot.  More then I probably should have.  I went to the school and took a good chunk of my stuff into my classroom.  I should not have been out in the heat, and lifting things, but i didn’t want Clint to have to do it all.  Last night I was tired as all get out.  I actually had a bit of a fever when I went to bed.  This something I felt slightly better, but then after cooking a late breakfast early lunch, it all hit me.  Pancakes come back up and because I hadn’t had a lot of fluids, it wasn’t fun.  I slept all, and I mean all afternoon.  I woke up about 3:30 or 4, and decided to have some of the summer sausage that my dad brought back from Wisconsin for me.  I enjoyed it greatly. Yummy cheese and summer sausage from Wisconsin.  However I wasn’t able to enjoy it for to long.

Amy isn’t feeling well.  She actually come home early from work.  She took our cold medicine that knocks your ass out.  She’s slept all day too.  I managed to get up and make us some chicken broth and noodles.  Again, tasted yummy, going down.  I cleaned my wound a little bit ago.  I soaked in the hot bath for a little while, and that felt wonderful.  I just put on “Firefly”.  Going to lay on the couch and just relax, like I’ve been doing all day, until Clint comes home.  Amy took another dose of the medicine, poor thing is passed out again.  Hopefully it will make her feel better.

It sounds like it might rain.  I can hear thunder outside.  Slinky doesn’t like storms so hopefully he won’t drive me crazy.  I was able to get enrolled into my classes for this fall.  I’m going to hopefully take online courses this Spring because of the baby.  I have another doctor’s appointment tomorrow.  Finally it’s with the infectious disease guys.  I haven’t been able to take my antibiotics in two days because I can’t keep food down.  I know they aren’t going to like that, but it says right on the bottle that I must take it on a full stomach.  Maybe they can change my meds to something different.

I leave in a few days for St. Louis.  I have decided if I’m going to take my laptop or not.  Don’t know if we will have internet access or not.  We shall see though!

Night!
