Super Sister!!!!

This is my Super Sister!!! Over the last 16 weeks she has cooked, cleaned, loved, die-cut, complete bulletin boards, shopped, and now packed for me. What would I have done without her???? I know she isn't thrilled about being in Abilene right now, BUT we 3 are!!!!

ps- My kids asked today about a picture of us. They asked, "Is this your mom?" Nope, that is my sister. They see things in such a funny light.

Just Make Me Smile

Oprah today made me smile. JT, (oh, how I LOVE jt!) Reba, and Kelly Clarkson sang their hearts out today. I found myself just smiling the whole way through!

We had a rain shower today. :) Rain is good!

I felt good.

Help is on the way. I am getting lots of helping hands for my classroom. A special thank you to my sweet staff and administrators for taking care of the 3 of us.

I love Michael! He takes such good care of all of his babies. Ruff, ruff-Zeke
Meow-Mavie

Just put on a happy face. :)

ps-I just had to add this!!! Production on the Sex in the City MOVIE started TODAY. This May is when we can expected the film. HMMMM...schedule babysitter for May!

What a change a week brings!

I am feeling much better. I have finished the meds and each day feel better. My tummy feels like it is growing, too. I think those babies are getting ready to stick out. :)

Tonight is open house so I thought I would upload post move-in pics of the classroom. It is going to be a great year!

Welcome to room 3!

Back to Work

Sometimes work is the best medicine!

I went back today. It was hard, but good. I had many "oh, no" moments, but I made it out alive. I move a lot slower for sure! But, actually so do my 4 year olds. (only when we walk in a line...)

Everyone was soooooo sweet offering a helping hand or a sweet smile. All of my kids missed me which surprised me because it is only the 3rd week of school. Yea! We have formed a bond. (Poor things. The big long absence is coming soon. ) Even the parents were excited to have me there. I just have a really good class. They even bring me McDonald's ice cream cones made out of sand. Yum.

They all wanted to know where my babies were and were sad to learn that they are still growing. We talked about that they wouldn't be here until it gets cold.

I am slowly feeling better. Still dehydrated, but functioning and really pushing the liquids. It may be a long 5 or so months.

Never thought I would say this, but I was glad to be back at work.

My 1st ER Visit

Stats:
duration:6 hours (lucky compared to some)
condition: All of us are well. We got to hear the heartbeats for the first time. I am just taking some more meds to make things right.
opinions: The ER is NOT FUN! I would rather die, but I have to think about the others involved. I could of thought of 18 other ways to spend $100.

I was really hoping for an IV to get me back on the right track, but they didn't give me one! :(
We are just praying everything works and we don't have to go back like the Dr. instructed us to if things don't get better.

So it looks like I won't be having that 5 day week yet. I didn't make it today and tomorrow is up in the air.

Ahhhhh...
Home Sweet Home.
Bed Sweet Bed!

The Aliens Are Coming

Last night the aliens came. They told me I was part alien and they were taking me and the babies away.

Well, my body feels like foreign place-that's for sure. I have had many nuts-o dreams and I am sure there are a lot more to come.

The Classroom Before Me

(last year 5 days before school started)

I weeded out a lot.

(Have you noticed-there are no closets. All of my storage is over head except for 1 cabinet.)

I guess the nice way of describing this room is

VINTAGE.
After pics coming soon!

School is going well. I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired. We have had 2 4 day weeks so far. By Thursday, I am zonked. Friday I can barley move. I feel like a 90 year old woman walking around. Everyone tells me I need to sit. But, 20 4 year olds don't allow for sitting time. Teaching early childhood doesn't have sitting time. I haven't made it back to the gym, but I have been getting quite a workout doing head, shoulders, knees, and toes, the freeze, and phonercise. I think it gets my wiggles out more than them.


This is my 1st 5 day week. I am praying I make it. Maybe I need to get one of those chairs on casters and the helper of the day can push the teacher!!!

2 Lemons make LEMONADE!

The past 13 weeks have been full of surprises.

1. We are pregnant. We found out at the beginning of July.We had been waiting on them for a while and June was our lucky month.

2. There are 2! Yes, TWINS!!! We found out when we went in for our 8 week appointment.

My little surprises-

3. My PawPaw had twin sisters. They died back in 1909 and almost 100 years later the gene returns!

4.Pregnancy and twins make me very so sick. I spent 5 weeks at home. No lie. I didn't leave the house. Just nausea and good porcelain time. I even LOST 6 lbs. Who knew those last 5 lbs could be solved by pregnancy. I am taking meds 2x a day and now have finally gotten back to my

pre-pregnancy weight. Yea!

5. They have grown so much!!! They are the size of lemons now.Here they are:twin a and twin b

So come February (I am due Mar. 13th, but since they like to come early...) we will go from a family of 2 to 4!!!
