Missing...

I'm just sitting here at what was supposed to be a meeting, but it got rescheduled.
SO
Now I'm just sitting here.

It's not so bad, but I really wish I could be a few other places...
-With David at the rink - watching him play the sport that means so much to him. It's werid that I have never seen him play. ever. It's somethign that I've wanted to do but it's never come up... it's never really been talked about. I know it's a passion of his, but the oportunity has never come up.
-In Moncton with my girls. All the girls I've been mising and they are all together, together talking, reminicing, laughing, and I'm just sitting here.
-With Momma, just talking about life, her's, mine. Just talking with Momma.

Work is going well, it's a bit easier now that I'm getting into the swing of things. I'm falling into a routine, but routine means that I'm getting a little bored. Somedays I love what I do, I can't wait to get to School, see the kids, teach new thoughts, ideas... somedays, well, I just think what on earth could make the day good, go smoothly, go fast so i can come home and think about anything else. I think I'm going to be doing this for another year... mostly because they aren't saying that they won't have me back, but a little bit because I don't have any back-up jobs just in-case I don't want to continue.

Life is going well, the house serching is still going on - we aren't in a hurry, and Janet we are NOT, I reapeat, NOT pregnant. We are just looking to find a place that is ours, that we can work with, grow in and one day Start a family (one day, not this day, not any day, anytime soon). There have been a few that popped up but after much talking, and praying we think thet best thing to do is wait jsut a little longer, a few more months... that way we have a (surprisingly) large dent in the Student Loans... and a bit more for down payment the timing will be better, well the finacses anyways... since I think I could move tomorrow if God just showed us the house...

I'm feeling mentall worn down i think, jsut the last couple of days, like i wish teh world would stop spinning out of control. ... i'll get over it - - -- I always do....

Ciao

Beautiful!

Ahhh, Another Snow Day

The best thing about snow days is the Sleeping in!!

A good sleep in is one of those things you never really appreciate until it's just about over. Just as you’re about to get out of bed everything is perfectly perfect and you just wish for a few more minutes to stay in bed. There are a few requirements needed for a great sleep in. Most importantly are the right blankets and PJs. You have to be swimming in ‘comfy’. The lighting in the room should be dim, almost non-existent; just enough so that if your eyes open by complete accident... you can still roll over and go back to sleep.

It starts with blankets, just enough so that you are toasty, not sweating... who likes to wake up sweaty... gross. Ok so the temperature is set as a comfy level, and you are sleeping comfortably. I personally like to have my puff (comforter, but it’s puffy so I call it a puff) all bunched up around my chest and neck. Not suffocating me but blocking out all areas that cold could try to come in. I’m also a big fan of pillows, one or two behind my head, one I can hug, and a few to prop my feet up with, the feet pillows are optional.

Sigh! A good sleep in is something that everyday should start with. ok now that that is over we can move onto other more important things. David and I are seriously looking into buying a house... I’d like it to be the sooner the better.

There are a few houses we are looking into. One of them is a cute bungalow. It’s in Princton heights, a very nice subdivision. It’s close to our friend’s house, and still in town with out having to be in a dumpy part of town. There are 3 bdrm and a small bath, but a 2nd bath was started and never finished in the basement. It needs some work (Windows and maybe siding in the next 5 years), but is going for a GREAT, GREAT price. I wouldn’t mind fixing it up because then it’d be more like ‘my’ house. Any house we buy won’t be completely ‘my’ house... but if we get one with and un finished basement, and a few things to work on, then we can make it Just the Way We Want...

There is another house, a split entry it’s out of town, not very far but it’d be a 7 min drive in at least. It’s a 9-year-old house, with a great yard. It’s nice, but it’s about 20ish thousand dollars more than the first house... so it’s newer but more... seems that’s how it works. Aha.

So If anyone out there has a house that they want to sell us pretty cheap- - just let me know!!

Ev'y's Coming in 7 days!!!! YEAH oh man!! I can't Wait

Truro...

So I've lived in truro for what - 9 years... and now... because Ev'y might be moving here it all of a sudden got to be fun to say... sigh... I see where I rank on the fun list. jeepers... it saddens me...

And Again

WooHoo !!

One more day off work! I love it! Does that mean I'm lazy?
Hmmm... maybe, but i think i'll get over it.

Today I can continue to do the Laundry and Chores. Hopefully I'll be able to get living room boxes organized and put them away... and change the bookcases around, and put other things in the spaces that the books once took up.

SNOW DAY

Have I mentioned that I love snow days -
1) I don't have to work
2) I can sleep in - more about the no work, but the snow is the percipitaing factor..aha
3) The snow is so pretty. I love the snow.

Today I'm going to try to get a few things done around the house, and if the wind ever dies down walk into the school and get my classroom organized. We'll see how the day goes.

I can't wait for Feb. well it is Feb. but I mean I can't wait for all the things going on in Feb. First it will be my first Valentine's Day as a Wife... and the weekend of the 10th we are heading to Moncton to visit... oh Brannie and Holly can we borrow some floor, or a tiny single bed... what ever you got we'll take!! and then Ev'y come's home for a visit!!! AND I CAN"T WAIT.. I crave her! Ev'y - it's not fun joking about not seeing me in truro... It's not funny at all.

Well I should get going on the errands and what not.

Time to Update...

So It's been a few days, or was it a week? I"m not sure the days sometime seem to run together.

Work is going so GREAT - some days it's tiring but most days it's very much a great time. The kids are so great, they are still working on the listening and the not Shouting out in class...but hopefully that will come soon.

Life in general is going well. David and I are still loving this married thing. i think a lot more people should try this.

You know I miss people, I think right now that is what i'm feeling, I miss Ev'y and Brannie and Holly and Emmie... Heck I miss most of my girls... I just would love to see them, to hang out - to just go and sit with them and maybe eat, and talk, cry, laugh... etc...

Well It's nothing fab... but it's an update

I could hear the Birds chrip...

The entire way home i could here brids chirping. It was so wonderful. I hope that Winter stays like this instead of that nasty -30 something weather that we usually get.

sigh a Girl can dream...

Owww My Shoulder Hurts... But I'm still so very HAPPY

First - Why I'm so Happy!!

Ruthie got engaged, and then about two days later Leanne got engaged ... tis the season of engagement. I just can't believe how happy this makes me. They are such great friends I love to see them Happy.

My Shoulder

I awake at 3:30 this morning in EXTREME pain. So much that after an hour of crying David tells me we are heading to the Hospital.

So how did this happen - let me tell you, I wish I knew...

Two days ago I awake to a slightly sore shoulder, and I figure heck I slept on it funny and might have pulled the muscle. I then head to school, slip and fall a little - not a large fall just a slip - and think 'hmmm that tingles.. how about taking some tylenol..." that will help. So through out yesterday I'm taking an average dose of tylenol. After all isn't that what over the counter pain medication is for. Well during the day I did a few things that could have aggrivated my shouldblade/back. Let's see... Played with the kids in my class, played a few games of Ping-Pong, moved some stuff around the apratment, reached up for stuff that was too heavy to lift, and too high to really get a grip with... sigh... So my back really hurts by about bed time and I think "hmm this still really hurts." Of couse I take a few more tylenol to get to sleep... I know it seeems like I'm a pill pusher... I'm not I promise. Of course what happenes next is pretty normal... when you go to bed, usually sleep follows... and this time it did. No big surprise.

Until 3:30am. it's like an alarm went off in my shoulder-blade. it hurt and it hurt a lot. so off to the hospital. I was seen by a doctor who madae me twist my arm, and move my shoulder, and made me cry. It was very painful. We (well, he with my help) figured i had strained my back muscle, the really big thin one, and then in one of my simple movements I tore it. Exciting.

I'm off work for 2 days. Not really because of the injury but because I'm on serious pain killers. I'm tired and I can't really focus on anything, and I'm not really sure if what I think is going on is going on. It's like I'm dreaming... in a fog... and just out of it.

But in the end - WOOT for Love...

The Holiday Rush

Well it's been kinda a hectic (as I was saying in an eariler post), time of year.
i had a few weeks off work - so i should be rested... but there were so many chores, so many errands, so much shopping, and SO MUCH family... sigh...

I'm back at work and It's kinda nice to be busy but in a not so busy sort of way. It went smoothly. and i'm feeling ok - except that my lower back hurts from standing for about 6 hours... yikes....

well that's it for now... i think.

Ciao

Christmas Joy...

Merry Chrsitmas Past....
Its been a hectic, and yet lazy Christmas.
On Wednesday the 21st, my parents came to stay at our apartment. David and I left Thrusday for his parent's house. We spent the weekend, christmas and the early mornign of Boxing day at the Skafte's place. It was fun. On Christmas Eve we went to Aunt Julie's (Dad's sister) and had a big dinner. Then for Christmas day we went over to Aunt Lori's (Mom's sister) and had a great big turkey dinner again. This is our yule log - sad we know... The best part was being able to sit and talk to family. I have been so welcomed into David's family. It's nice to feel that kind of 'like' well 'love'. I got to see Erin (David's cousin). She is so great I'm glad we could have fun, to laugh together. It's nice. Over all it was a very relaxing time. Which was just what we needed. On boxing Day we drove home because my side of the family was having Christmas dinner on boxing day... so it was home for more Turkey.

So Christmas was a bit hectic but great. And just yesterday I was on MSN talking with old firends, whom i haven't heard from in forever, so that was nice, to think back to good ol' times at ABU. sigh. I really miss it, even just the oportunity to chat. If I want to talk to the girls... I can't just go across the hall, down the hall, over to their place anymore. I have to go to a different province... sigh.

but to cheer me up - David is the greatest most understanding person ever, and I love him for it. He is great and I love him. sigh... I'm just a silly girl at heart... swoon.

I'm at Home... and I'm Bored Already...

I'm at home, and I'm ahead of schedule - - sorta - - I've got the spare room pretty much tidied up. I'm going to wait until David gets home so that we can finish it up together. I've got some of the living room cleaned up, and the kitchen still needs a bit of work - but three loads of dishes is enough for now. There is a lot left to do - but i'm goign to stop for now. there is always tomorrow.

Oh as for the kid well he's gone, according to his mom. she told me the last day of classes. I guess she's decided to pull him out of CCA. I'm not as happy as I would have thought. I'm sad cuase when he was a good kid, he was great.... unfortunatly when he was bad... not so much...

Well that's about it. .... Ciao...

It's been a while... Two weeks even...

Have I been so busy that I haven't updated? It can't be, can it?

Well what's been happening.
hmmm last week, what happened... nothign really. the week went as normal. David was working in Stellarton. the kids in class were sorta ok... it's been tough the child with the most trouble adjsuting... ie. the kid well he's on his way out. He's been given his verbal warning - and has till Dec 16th to begin to adjust. You see that sounds cruel for a four year old; however the standard is very high at CCA. everytime I tell the children to put away their pencils, and the kid can't jsut throw a tempertantrum, and cannot scream that he hates school and hates me... this is not behavior that works with CCA. Also I would like to point out that it's been four months, and nothing, I mean hit other students, hitting me, screaming... I like him but there isn't anything more I can do... so to sum it up - the kid is on his way out. There really isn't anything that happened that week... last week. On Saturday there was a baby shower for Berinda and Baby, and then the youth group Christmas party. it was fun. I love the youth group - they are so much fun. I get to be a big kid... I mean there are time i have to be an adult.. but mostly I get to have fun.

I did find out that I had a nasty infection, and no symptoms... so there was some confusion as to where it came from, and how to get rid of it... so we did the medication thing, prayed about it and waited.... and I think it worked... right up until the last few days when everything came back... its so hard, and I think 'hey go talk to your doctor' adn then reality sinks in. By the time I call and get an appointment, the problem will be gone. so now I'm back to my nasal passages being sore and full and pressing on every area of my face, my throat is still rough, and now I have a cough... I think I'll suck it up and call. I just hate Doctors...

This week has gone by so very fast. the fact that today and yesterday are snow days, helped. I've gotten a few things done for Christmas. woot.

Well it's getting to be lunch time, and I have company coming for lunch.

ciao

And I sit on a Thrusday, and watch some TV...

It's thrusday, Yesterday I had a breakdown... cried about work... there is so much Stress, so much i can't Change and I want so badly to change it.

Youth is going well - although there are some days I want to sleep. I love the youth group - i love the youth - they are great - i'm just so tired... and I'm tired ofbe ign sick.

can you friggin show me one other person who has been sick for 3 months, everyday... I just don't want to be sick anymore.. i dion't know what is going on.. I eat pretty healthy, I sleep 6-8 hours a day.. i've prayed for healing, i've talked to doctors, I jsut don't know anymore.

the worst is that I know it bothers David, it hurts him to know i'm sick.... and that breaks my heart. I feel like he's married someone who isn't 'good enough' who isn't whole.... you know?

AHHHH I just want a day to curl up, read a good book, cuddle with my husband, and enjoy a cup of tea. if there is a chance for napping - that'd be a good day!

As for things that are going on...

a while back - David and I went to Moncton to see Janet - and watch a hockey game. We got to see Holly and Justin too!!! It was a great time.

There was a spiritual retreat that I led it went ok.

umm I can't really remember if anything happen more than that...

and now i'm tired - so this is Ciao
