What's Next?

First - Ella somehow contracted a virus called, "Hand, Foot and Mouth disesase" two weekends ago. It sounds worse than it is. It's just a childhood virus children can get (like Chickenpox or Measles). It gives painful blisters/ulcers in the mouth, on the throat, on the hands and feet. Ella only had them in her mouth and throat. Unfortunately, she missed our family skiing trip because of it.

Next - K-Bugg got Pink Eye last weekend. We battled Pink Eye for 4 days. She wouldn't stop rubbing her eyes - which as most moms know, will only reinfect the eyes. Fun, fun!

And finally - I am once again stuck at home for the weekend due to Ella having a double ear infection. She started running a fever yesterday afternoon. **UPDATE - As of 4:00 today, she now has Pink Eye too!

Oh! I almost forgot! I was also lucky enough to be selected for jury duty! I was supposed (notice I said supposed) to be in court this past Monday to serve on a jury. DId I show up? NO! I completely forgot about it! Did you know you can be charged with, "Failure to Appear" and receive a fine for not showing up? I freaked out when I read this information on the letter! And it didn't help any, with my husband saying things like, "Who are you going to make your one phone call to?" - or (talking to our daughter) "Give Mommy a big kiss when she drops you off at school today. This might be the last time you see her for awhile." He also enjoyed calling me a "convict." Anyway...I was lucky, because it turns out that they didn't need me anyway! The Jury Coordinator told me not to worry about it. Whew! I was sweating that one out!

Incase You Were Wondering...

Four jobs I have had in my life:
1. Stock girl at Publix (grocery store)
2. Sitting with an elderly woman with Emphysema
3. Substitute teacher
4. First grade teacher

Four movies I would see over and over:
1. Legends of the Fall
2. Shawshank Redemption
3. Moll Flanders
4. Lord of the Rings (any)

Four of my favorite foods:
1. Anything Italian
2. Anything with garlic
3. Blackened steak
4. Bread (not white bread)

Four places I’d rather be right now:
1. At the beach
2. In the mountains
3. On a date with my husband or on the couch watching a movie
4. A new classroom (I hate being in a mobile unit at school.)

Who will complete this survey for themselves?

**I don't know...Does anyone read this thing anymore? I haven't updated in a long time!

Where Do I Begin?

Let's see...

January 10th - I turned 34! I didn't do anything special for my birthday this year. I shared my day with my family, the ones I love. That made it a great day.

January 29th - K bugg turned 5! She had a small party at Chuck E. Cheese with just the family. The rest of her "birthday" was spent at Ski Beech in the mountains. She took skiing lessons for two days, and became a pro by the end of our trip. She skis faster than ME! We hope to take her back at least one more time before the season is over.

January 30th - Ella turned 10 months old! She is cruising all over the place! She has also taken a step or two on her own. She says "ma ma," "da da," "kitty," "no no," and "uh oh" when she falls down. She feeds herself table food and refuses to allow any help during this time. Her favorite toy is the telephone and often pretends to talk on the cell phone. She also loves to play with her big sister! Unfortunately, her big sister doesn't always have time for her these days!

I am a mother, wife and full-time teacher, with a very sassy little girl (daughter 1) on my hands and another one following in her footsteps (daughter 2). And I wonder where the gray hairs are coming from?
