Okay, so thursay was a blast, lunch with the teachers was great, then we had a gift exchange, I got some simple classroom stuff which was nice, nothing fancy. and since I did't give anything facncy that was great for me. My secret santa gave me a lamp thing,..go figure. Brad's Mom's retirement thign was nice, I knew most of the teachers there so it was enjoyable.
Friday was weird. I found out I wasn't getting my christmas check until the 30 when it will do me no good for christmas so that sucks. We got pictures taken for christmas cards, and then went to see Eragon with Tiffy. Great movie, great to see Tiffy, and all in all a great night. Satuday morningI was up early to bake cookies iwth the girls, lots of people showed up on and off through the morning we got alot of baking done and I think some of them learned a thing or two which was fun. I like teaching.
Sunday we went to SS then I went and got James and Evan for church. JAmes wore his training uniform and looked so cute and proud of himself, a plesant change from the defeated brother who left several months ago. Then there was lunch at Craker barrell with teh whole Chick clan, then Brad and I went home had sex, a nap, and a shower. THen we all met back up again for bowling a family tradition, which was great I actually won 2 games and brad the other.. I bowled a 120, and a 122 a far cry from my old 60s and 70s.
We have bought presents for Ken, and Chuck our secret santa picks, Brad's mom, and Joel and sonya. SO only James, Evan, and Brad's dad left. And of course if we have any money left over something for each other.
WElll got to go or I am going to be late for work.

It’s nice to know that Eragon wasn’t quite as bad as my son said it was. He has read the book about five times and he said the movie was nothing like it. He was very disappointed.

I thought the movie was alot like the book. They just left out everything they could to save time and make it not a 3 hour movie. I think that when you read a book to many times then see the movie you are always disappointed, but if you watch the movie then read the book you love it.

Annevsary's and baby firsts

Image
Okay, let see, our 4th annavsary was this week. We have been married four years. It feels a little longer. I guess we have just packed alot into it and that makes it seem longer. I am really very happy/glad, that I married brad. He has been supportive when I have been flipping out. He takes care of me, and needs me, he is calmed by me when he is flipping out, he has created the cutest little bear with me, we have shared laughs, football games, Musicals, movies, TV shows, books, basketball games, tears, hardship, lack of funs... in short, the better and the worse, the richer and the poorer, the sickness and the health, alaughter and the sorrow, I married a very specail man and I am truly blessed because of it. I can't thank God enough that He saved bard for me. As for First, this week the baby slept all night for the first time. We fed her at 9:00 pm, put her down and she doesn't get up til around 7:30. (of course if we get up early and start moving around she wakes up too) but ...

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Sanity

Okay so this week has been a little wild. Between getting ready for testing at school. Trying to keep students who are ready for summer focused. PMSing, Brad having his huge action research proposal due yesterday and many other little things, I have felt just the slightest bit overwhelmed. I will say that Sanjya finally got voted off American Idol. He couldn't sing, coldn't dance and there and there was really no reason he made it this far above and beyond that people wanted to see what crazy thing he would do each week. Well finally they got it through their heads that he coudln't sing and sent him packing, me and Simon Cowl were thrilled. Please continue to pray for brad, his feet and shins are still bothering him. wE think it is shin splints but we are not sure. He is giving them the 2-4 week rest period that shin splints need and if they don't get better he will go to the dr. as I mentioned above, testing starts next week, here in teh state of Kentucky, and th...
