The week in review





Let me tell you about my week. Since it has been pretty hecktic. As you noticed last weekend was not great. I had a rough time.

Then Monday started spirt week at school. Mix up day. I dressed to kill, it was great, nothing on me matched. Brad had class

Then Tuesday was twins day. All of the teachers on our team dressed up like the very pregnant Mrs. Antiniou. It was alot of fun. Tuesday night was volleyball we played the reigning 6 year champs. We got beat. It was pretty bad, but we all felt pretty good about the way we played together so that was an imporovement on last season when there was alot of yelling.

Wednesday I got a snow day which as you have read I very much needed. I went to choir that night. I also got a lot of cleanning done I didn't think I would ever find time for.

Thrusday was Blue day at school. No picture cause it was very boring. After school I rushed home so brad could make it to class oon time. Then I went over and cooked cookies with teh girls at Ellen's house. THey are all trying to figure out how to work out the trip to Gatlinburg, Which Brad and I are not going to make... right now they are having trouble finding places for everyone and a price that is reasonable. I can say I am sad we aren't going, but am very glad I don't have to worry about all that stuff.

Friday.. Okay to start with it was hat day at school. I of course wore the pig hat. Which I failed to get a picture of.. but if you want to see it just ask some time I have it at home to show off. Ms. Ballinger who is getting married this summer wore my Baclorette hat. IT was fun.. Then as soon as school was over, we had the 7th grade sponsered dance. Brad was a jem and stayed in the very loud gym telling them to get off each other. I watched the girls bath room. As soon as that was over, we jumped in teh car, drove back to richmond, ate dinner and went to church for the experencing god Thing. The man who spoke was BORING. Then they split us up for groups, Brad had a great group, my group was not so great. I said I wanted to learn more about God speaking, so I could find some direction.. and imediatly got a lecture on how often, and how long I pray and about being pateince..It was very hurt ful. I guess I am jsut senstive right now.

Saturday, we decided not to go listen to the very boring man who would tell us that we needed to join another bible study cause spending time at church is the way to get closer to God. We have jsut realized that time spent, even at church, is less time to spend with God and more stress to deal with. So we aren't doing it. We went out and bought a new washer and dryer instead. Many of you had heard the pitiful puppy noises the old one makes. THe new one is running right now and I can't hear it. it is great.

Sounds like a full week with the usual ups, downs and quirky sideways.

Don't you love those? My principal is very good about that, too. "I would love it if you were all at the meeting, but if you can't make it, I understand" = BE THERE!

Annevsary's and baby firsts

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...
