Surgery tomorrow....

Say a prayer for the hubby as he goes to have surgery tomorrow on his shoulder.  He is very nervous about the pain afterwards, but ready to be able to use his arm again.  I am super nervous for him!

Will update tomorrow after surgery!

Fall 2012

Yesterday we took the kids and niece and nephew to Calhoun for some fall fun. The kids loved the wagon ride to see the animals and wandering through the corn maze.The weather certainly wasn't fall like and we were HOT!!

Wild About School!

We are working hard on decorating for Homecoming at school.  The theme is Wild abut the Rams and our hallway is becoming a jungle.  My door is adorable if I do say so!

 

Hard to see what it says, but is WILD ABOUT THE RAMS in glitter letters and has monkeys that my kids decorated hanging from the tree.  We are also hanging vines throughout the hall and posters the kids made.  The students were definitely WILD today, and all about decorating instead of working. Glad I will be gone next Thursday and Friday and will miss out on some of the craziness!!  I will try to remember to take pics of me and the kids on dress up days and share them.

Thankful tomorrow is FRIDAY! :-)

Monday, Monday

Back to school we went today after a glorious 9 days off.  When I informed Lan that he had to go to school today he stated that No he didn't, he had already been! (Same sentiment every night when it is bath time, he has already had one.) Oh my little Lan man if only we could do 8 weeks of school and be geniuses how awesome that would be. Of course then mommy would be out of a job! :)

The Army is frustrating me beyond measure right now.  They have decided my hubby shouldn't get his paycheck, and that no one should tell him anything. UGH!! Oh they also say we owe them money, WHAT?!  Since the hubby is Natl Guard and is not exactly attached to a unit due to schooling he really does not have a chain of command to go up.  I am tired of them giving us the run around and no one seeming to know what the other one is doing.  I am TIRED OF DEALING WITH THIS!!!!  Ok, I feel better now, ha!

On the anxiety front things are better.  Dr. changed dosage of my meds and hoping that will help.  Was confronted with some stressful situations this morning, and though I was shaken I was able to hold it together. YAY!

Cheers to a great Tuesday!

Anxiety you are not my friend...

The majority of my life I have battled anxiety and panic.  Medication usually helps it, but has never taken it completely away.  Over the last few months I have had more and more panic type attacks, and they are making me CRAZY!!  I had them all night before we left for Disney and had a sense of anxiousness the entire time we were there.  I fought through it, and had fun for the kids sake.  I don't ever want to let my anxiety get in the way of them having fun or enjoying their childhood.  I just wish that one day soon I will be back to my "normal" and able to function without that nagging sense of anxiety gnawing at me.  Until then I will just dig deep and go on the best I can.

The truth about education...

A blueberry farmer goes to a school to do a presentation about productivity. The first part of his speech he was talking about how his company only uses the best blueberries to make his companies jams and jellies. He was immediately interrupted by a teacher that asked him, “What does your company do with the blueberries that don’t make the grade?” He replied, “We just throw them away.” “Well”, she said. “That really isn’t an option for us.” 

Teachers don’t have the option of picking and choosing the best “berry” all the time. We take what we’re given and we do the best we can!

Please take the time to stop and tell a teacher how much you appreciate what they’ve done for you or for your child. Just that little sign of appreciate can make thier day worth getting up for!!
