been a little sick.. but nothing else going on...

I spent all weekend feeling like crap. I slept all night, woke up and then of course had a nap, and then another nap and then I went to bed and slept all nigh... after all don't you know that the average adult needs two naps.

I got up Monday and headed off to work. It's been a few days and waking up is always gross when you wake up, so the breathing thing? well I figured once I got up and got going it's be fine. Well I arrived at school and the breathing thing now hurt... and wasn't happening when it was supposed to. I was talking with Mr V. and we collectively decided I should go to the hospital to get checked out... but not before I get the class ready, it's crazy that at that moment my biggest concern was the substitute, and making it easy for them, and then thinking about the aftermath for me and the class... sigh... i got out 4 days of lessons, in case it was a serious problem, and left. I went to the hospital and simply found out that I have a slight chest infection. Not too bad, I got a shot and a puffer... great nothing leaves a gross taste in your mouth like a puffer.

I head home, call the school tell them I'm off for a few days, and that it's nothing serious. and now I sleep .. all day... it was crazy. Wait I did get up to go to the regular, non hospital type doctors. She looked in my ears, eyes, throat, checked my stomach, commented on the HUGE tonsil I've had for weeks and tole me I have sinusitis. She explained that my body is a big incubator for bacteria that I can't fight... this explains the last couple of months nose issues and cold.

I went home and guess what.. slept. but i tell you the next morning, such a difference, Antibiotics are so Crazy. they work, it takes a few days but what a difference. I'm running at 80% now. Oh and these Antibiotics, well my kidneys could just shut down. Yippee.. in fact it's such a high dose that the Pharmacists thought that it was one prescription (in my name) for David and I to share. ahahah... nope all the crazy drugs are for me. aha.

anyways I'm feeling better but I'm going to go now - i have a Christmas letter to write.

Hanging out with the Shaddicks...

Just hanging out Watching a GREAT movie!!




"Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

"You keep using that word -- I do not think it means what you think it means. "

"You mock my pain."... "Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something."

"I don't envy you the headache you will have when you awake. But, in the meantime, rest well ... and dream of large women."

"Who are you?!"..."No one of consequence."..."I must know."..."Get used to disappointment."..."
Okay."

"As you wish. "




Sigh What a Great movie!!!

Sigh, Swoon!

The beat goes on...

Wow can you say long time no see?It’s been far to long since I’ve updated this blog, and I’m sure those of you who depend on this blog for survival are happy to be reading… aha…. well what’s been going on since the beginning of November…

-1- I’m now a member of the CE board at church… woot. I’m officially starting in Jan., but I sit in on meetings. I think it will be a good year! I can see so much happening… It is amazing how God is growing our church family. I see so many young families, young people there, as well as our lovely staple… the ‘oldies’ as I like to tenderly call them …lol…

David has just tonight, accepted a position on the Deacons Board. I’m excited to see how God will use him, he is such a godly man.. it’s nice to see him involved in our Church… sigh…

-2- Ahh Remembrance Day weekend…it was a LONG weekend. David and I got to see a few friends, Holly and Justin, Bek, brandy and Ryan (at work) It’s so nice to talk with brandy, she’s busy and not online anymore… but we do the same thing so talking about my job is interesting.. not just fun stories of kids… but an actual conversation. I miss them and WANT to go back and see them.

WE also got to help de-clutter the attic that was always a mystery to me... My grandfather had 12 boxes of Raisin Bran... 12, who needs 12. There was so much JUNK! Milk bags he saved, egg cartons he kept, jars of SAND... yes sand. So I was a bit frazzled with the emotions and the hard work. I was beat and tired. And had to get to work... and I didn’t sleep well that night. So that second week of Nov. is kind of hazy.

-3- Carina and Renier invited us over for lunch to see Berinda and the Family... (we also attened a surprize 40th party for R...) So we head over for lunch and out of no where... BAM they ask us to watch the kids... We said yes (they were in a bind) BUT it would have been nice to prep for kids. The last three days were crazy... three kids thrown in our laps. I think when you ease into a 7 or 9 or 16 year old with the 7 or 9 or 16 years it takes to get them… it will be a bit easier… well at least less ‘thrown together'. But it was fun. David loved having the kids in the house - he kept saying how cute they all were... That makes me smile.

That's it for now....
I’m busy and tired and Can’t wait until Christmas Break!!!

It had been so long since I was sick.. i guess it was about time

Well Monday was a good day.

The day was long but we (the class and I got a lot done... slowly or course) that night we went to young adults. I enjoy spending time with Jody and Micah... sometimes its hard.. but i get used to how sometimes, its not so much fun... but most times it's fun... and for the most part last night was fun. Janet came a long. I like her. Our new Pastor and his wife were there and it was so nice to meet them. I enjoy them, and Lynn likes 'settlers' a great game! Natasha said she likes Dutch Blitz.. so i hope to play her some day. We played a game, and then we had to come home... Janet needed to get back to the apt.

Once we got home i headed right to bed. I wole up at 3 o'clock sicker than a, what ever it is that people say. So I was up and then... well i had to go to work... man it sucks so much to go to work when you feel like a pill of (insert bad word here) but I managed to last until lunch time before I lost my cookies... in the classroom... GROSS... normaill I clean up puke from a kid... good thing I hadn't eaten today... aha. Gross... Sigh so I left work

I came home crawled into bed and tried to sleep.. i slept and no longer sick to my stomch but i wish I coudl breathe normally...

Oh a purely romantic note David brought me home a dozen roses... how friggin' sweet... I just love him. A Lot!

I'm so busy...

AHHHH When does life slow down? What is the saying... when you're dead... Sigh...

Saturday I went to Halifax to go shopping with a friend from work... and we saw STEVE MU
RPHY (CTV news anchor) at McDonalds. In fact he almost tipped my tray...sigh... swoon.

Sunday I had a meeting at the church... and then there was getting ready for the week...

Today was the longest day of my life... work was just long and when you have a cold it's super long... and then the hour and a half of grocery shopping SUCKS...
