Updates

Goodness, I have been gone from the blog for a while! Life has been oh-so-busy around here! The summer was F-U-L-L of so many good (and not-so-good) things, and then SHA-BAM! School started! Here is a brief recap of the last couple of months:

  • Grandpa's second round of stints did not go at all as planned. Long story short...he had to be transferred from ARMC to St. Joseph's in ATL, where they wanted to do open heart but ended up trying to do stints. That didn't go so well, and he ended up in cardiac ICU. Then, he started having anxiety and trouble breathing...found out he had pneumonia. He spent nearly a week on a ventilator, but he is oh-so-strong and God pulled him through it! He is home now and still getting better!
  • I finished my first semester of grad classes and now I have started my second. Holy moly. I think I really have lost my mind this time.
  • School started. My classroom is oh-so-cute, but it wasn't perfect at Open House. Fortunately, I'm the only one who knew that! I have 25 lovely students and we are finally settled into something of a routine. I have 3 wonderful co-teachers cycling through my room throughout the day, and I couldn't do it without them, and my super fabulous administration and co-workers!
  • Chad had his birthday. I got him a LEGO Space Shuttle kit. I hope he will actually put it together. He loves space/NASA, and that thing will look so cool in the library once it's done.
  • I fractured my foot. I spent 6 weeks in a silly orthopedic boot, and four weeks wearing only tennis shoes, with a steel thing-y in one of them. I think it's finally better.
So...tired yet? I know I am!! Now, to top it all off, it's Labor Day weekend, and I have oh-so-very-much to do, but I have a cold or something and all I want to do is sleep!
