400th post and other news

So yesterday, 1/2/13, was my 400th post!  I really should keep up with things like that! 

Of course, I am hoping that I will almost double (or really double) the number of posts I had (total) by the end of 2013. 

Some days, I just feel like there is nothing to write.  Some days I just don't have time to write.  Some days, I feel like if I write what I want to, you will not want to read it. 

Anyways....

This year, since we moved, I moved the Princess to a new school.  (I never should have done that!)  However, I did.  We really aren't impressed with the school.  But, it's the district we live in.  So, I guess she will be there ONE more year....next year for 5th grade.  Then she will go to middle school.  (Her middle school has a new principal this year, and I really like her.  I'm hoping she will stick around until Chasity gets there...and is finished there.)

The latest problem is that my munchkin has ear infections.  We all know that.  She has them all the time.  Gooey goo drains from her ears.  It's gross.  So yesterday, she went to the nurse because she was having sharp pains in her ear.  If I had known that she was having sharp pains with the infection, I would have taken her back to the doctor.  (We have a 2nd round of antibiotics already!)  Unfortunately, instead of calling more than one number, the nurse called and left my husband a message.  That was 1pm.  He didn't get it until after 4pm.  Too late to go to doc then. :( 

The school has 2 numbers for Tony, 3 numbers for my mom (and with Dad at home right now, someone would answer at all three of those), and 2 numbers for me (one of which comes straight to my classroom)!! 

If she had been sick, would they have just left a message and hoped for a return call?  Nope!  They would have called until a human answered.  They should do that anyways....  To me, her hearing/ears is just as important as a stomach bug or the flu.  (I'm just saying!)

Hopefully today will be a better "ear" day!  :) 



In other news, the kids at my school were somewhat calm yesterday.  They did what was asked, with minimal complaining.  They are high school kids after all! 

Counting today, we only have 8 days until exams.  OMG!  I need to write that exam ASAP!  lol :) 

I have an idea of what I am going to write.  I just need to get my review stuff ready for the kids.  Of course, we are working on English review (for their regular English classes) starting today.  (I already have a copy of that exam!!) 

Let's hope they are still calm today!  Or...at least still attempting to work today.

Weight Update!!

Last week, I didn't weigh myself because I was sick! Plus, I didn't really eat anything much at all last week. I did, however, register for Weight Watchers online. So I did spend time reading up and learning about the program. Today, I got on the scale. Two weeks ago, I weighed 402. Today, I weigh 390! In two weeks, I have lost another 12 lbs. That makes a total of 26 lbs. so far! I'm excited! Yeah, if you look at the previous post about my weight, it says that I started at 412. Yeah... I looked at the paper wrong. I started at 416. I lost 4 lbs the first week. I lost 4 lbs the second week. I lost 6 lbs the third week. Then I didn't weigh in last week. I weighed in today at 12 lbs down! I can tell it mostly in my pants. I HATE for my pants to be baggy, so I buy them to fit! Yesterday, I wore my black dress pants to church and I had to keep pulling them up. I'm going shopping next Sunday with my mom! I'm so happy! Next Sunday is my bday! So.....

Still Learning

Ok...so I'm always learning something new. However, recently, I have seriously been thinking about something. I want to learn to sew. My mom has a sewing machine I can use any time I want to. Of course, if I really learn to sew, I'd want my own sewing machine! ;) Anyways, I have been checking into classes. I have only found one place in my town that does classes. They offer a 4 week class for $115. That's not bad for a class. But, I'm afraid I wouldn't learn in 4 weeks and I'd need to take the class again! lol Anyways, I'm still looking into it. I'd love to learn. I will one day. However, I've seen some REALLY cute things that I'd love to sew for Chasity to wear! :) Until next time........

NC Weather

Image
In the state of NC, we rarely get that BIG SNOW. They used to be more common.  We used to get one huge snow a year.  Now, we are lucky if we get one every 2-3 years.    However, schools are cancelled, delayed, or let out early for weather all the time here.  We haven’t heard anything today about our schools, but we shall see.    It’s all about waiting to see what happens.  Sometimes, I think that God is sitting up there showing us HIS sense of humor.  He lets the weather people tell us whatever they want to tell us.  Then HE decides to have some fun with the weather.  (That’s just my 2 cents!)   Countdown Updates: 0 days until I pick up cookies!  TODAY is the day! They are still calling for “weather,” but they are pushing back the start time to later today. My scheduled pick up time is 6pm. So, we shall see.  It should be fine. Tony is going to drive me there so I’m not having to do it alone.  Then ...
