went back

to the dr.-- not the immunologist, but just my GP... have just been hurting way too much. He gave me something for the hurt-- it's helping, but not quite fast enough and it's making me sleepy. He ran a couple of blood tests to check my ANA, etc. since I haven't had that done since summer. He thinks I could have been trying to "fight off" a viral thing (with my lack of T cells, my body gets confused about where the "bad guy" is) OR it could be THE thing that has been elusive rearing it's ugly head... maybe the lupus-type thing we haven't been able to identify... either way, I am tired of hurting.

We have yet another snow day today-- yikes-- I think we're on number 8! And, for some reason these things have been hitting on Tuesdays... We didn't get much at all at home though. I've got to get into school somehow today to get stuff ready for my morning sub tomorrow... going to observe another classroom.

Andrew flies to NY today... prayers are with him, if you read this, please do the same. :) Safety, confidence, clarity and direction.

We're wrapping up on Thomas' pinewood derby today-- will post pics soon-- it's top secret for now. ;) It's awesome this year! :) Hoping for a creativity trophy this time around.

do you go to the door...

with a towel on your head? I don't. Someone just knocked on my door and here I sit with a towel wrapped around my head and the blinds to the window open right beside me. I ran around the corner before she could see me... LOL. It looked like she had a picture frame, so my guess is she was selling something, but I don't exactly live in a metropolis, so it's strange to get people just showing up down this lane-- if I were selling something, I wouldn't do it. I've had to make home visits down "lanes" and I wasn't comfy to say the least at a few.

Anyway, waiting for lunch from Andrew... the stinker went to the gym and left his cell in the car for 2 hours, and had me worried... lots of things I could be doing, but here I sit with a towel on my head. Thomas has his pinewood derby race coming up, so gotta get the plans, etc. sorted-- ya know, we're always last minute in those... best of intentions and all that...

Think I'll dry my hair now in case she comes back. :) I'll try to find something more exciting to say next time. :)

been feeling...

witchy, only with a "b"... just tired of fussing at the kids-- and this has not been just since the snow hit, oh no... just tired of "re-directing" all day... love my babies, but ugh...

So, for laughs, I found this-- love this! Moms will understand it. ;)



And, while I was on a laughing kick, I went and snagged this, too... love my Conchords-- and this one is my favorite!

Smile! :)

the big thaw...

Just posted some new pics of the thaw / ice on my photo blog.

Here are my moon pics, too... you can tell how cold I was by the movement, LOL, still cool to have them though. :)

home again, home again,

jiggity jig.... is that how how spell jiggity? LOL

More ice... sigh... we're never getting out of school this summer! But, I'm not complaining for the extra sleep right now! :)

Need to spend some time cleaning today, want to get into picture stuff, and Thomas even gave me permission to scrapbook today-- ha! He just wants my computer! Andrew is home working so maybe it will be a PJ day all day for all of us. We were supposed to have a reward (100 marbles) PJ party in my classroom today, so I may just go with it here. :) I am really hurting-- have been for a week-- just so hurting... maybe headed back to the dr. I've tried everything, it's not leaving... PJs will be good today.

Maybe I'll stop back later with some pics (took some of the lunar eclipse I need to get off the camera), but for now, in honor of the jiggity up there...

still kickin'

just have been busy...

Let's see... got a new cell phone, so if you have my old number, it's null... email me if you don't get one from me with my new number. :)

Got a lot of stuff still to do tonight for school, but it's looking like more snow may be hitting... we've already used up our "built-in" snow days, so we're into June... sigh...

Andrew's been busy, busy all day-- lots going on, but nothing I can post about, LOL. He's such a rockstar. :D

This video is for him. He loves this movie;)

in from the cold

My third post today-- whoa!

We weren't able to make a snowman-- too much ice mixed in the snow, but the kiddos did go sledding down the hill (aka the gentle slope)... they had a blast and brrrrr... it's still snowing! I put up some other wintry shots on my photo blog, but here are a few "fun" ones...






And some "nature" shots...


(more of these here)...

AND... some action...
