there are four days of testing, 14 days of teaching, one portfolio day, and closing day left. This year seems to have gone on forever. hopefully this week will be better than last week, but you never know. this is the last week of classes at Eastern, so Brad is good and stressed but when things are over we shall have a wonderful june in which we have nothing planned. Well i am off, the shower calls and I have a long list of things to get done today.

Okay, so I have decided, that softball is not what I am good at. I have tried, I keep running and I keep trying to catch, but while I can catch a ball thrown to me, a high flying or grounder seems to jsut slip right past. Brad is good, but I am not. I don't mind being catcher. I don't get as bored as when I am in the outfield and in this league the catcher stands off to the side and picks up the ball after it stops rolling, it is not a hard job. I might try it again, if they let me. Oh well we shall see. but pray for me Cause I look like a goof on the softball feild. and I did so well at Volley ball that this makes me feel clumsy. Ps. The picture is suppose to change.. to say.. Missed Fly Ball: priceless... but it doesn't seem to be working right.

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...

Okay, so first off I am not sure if I spelled Atticus, Atickas, right. I didn't pick it. Actually I had to ask Brad how to spell it which is pretty said. I apologize to chuck And Dora for most likly slaughtering the spelling, but no one ever said I could spell. So Chuck called us monday night to tell us that he and Dora had welcomed little Noah into the world. They went in for an check up and the Dr. said, he is breech we need to do this now.. and they did. One C-section and a couple hours later the bouncing 6lbs 15 oz, 20 inch little boy was here. Brad and I went to see him Tuesday night. As you can see from the pictures I am working on brad. Getting him ready to hold babies and not be quite so scared they will break if he breathes wrong.

So it is Easter, the jewish holiday of passover, lent, all things that if I were jewish would require I not eat unclean Pork, or ham, and partake in something like Lamb. Which I serve every year for Easter. I have my extended family coming over for Easter lunch tomorrow, and no Lamb.. so brad and I are headed to lexington today to try and find some Lamb for dinner

SO that is what I am doing this week. Nothing. Actually I am going to write a introduction to a master's research paper, but that is it. And I might clean the bathroom, but nothing more. Oh and I think I am going to try to work out once or twice a day all week, but that is it. In actuallity, I have been working out, cleaning, playing Civ III with brad, watching movies, reading and genreally doing nothing. It has been great I watched that movie, one night with the King. It was really quite good. They took a little liberty but on the general whole it was very close to the original, being the bible and Esther. I thought it was very well acted and if the King had had eyebrows it would have been perfect. Anyway it would go on my recomended list.
