the white stuff

Haven't posted anything in a while so just a short post. We are definitely not ready for the white stuff or the cold but we are hanging in there. Well I should speak for myself...I'm not ready for the white stuff the kids I think are.

Brett has decided to join cub scouts so he's ready to start selling some popcorn (another thing to hit friends up for LOL)

Cody has another wrestling meet tomorrow. He is enjoying it so far even though he hasn't won a match yet...came close to winning one on Saturday.

Jes handled driving with slippery roads this morning. I'm so thankful that she made it to school with no problem. Prayed for her while I was on my way to work which took me 40 minutes rather than the 25 minutes it usually takes me.

Until next post :)

Flu season

Well the flu bug has hit my class. Three children are out because of the flu. Thankgoodness it is just the regular flu. Making them use hand sanitizer and spraying with Cavicide on their tables. Tonight Jes is not feeling so hot...her tummy doesn't feel so great. Cody is the only one of us who had received the flu shot (done during his physical) must get the rest of us. Interesting enough his shot was a nasal spray done in both nostrils...never seen that before

Health Care Workers And Kids Receive 1st Wave Of H1N1 Vaccinations


Well hope this post finds you all surviving the flu season...wash those hands and sanitize, sanitize, sanitize.

Thankful Thursdays

I am thankful for
...my kids. This morning I think we were all running late and as I was leaving for work (at 7:00) Brett was the only one I saw briefly just to tell him to have a good day and then yelling down stairs (nice huh) i told cody and jes to have a great day. They get themselves ready and out the door to school...how many of us are fortunate to have kids this responsible (ages 17, 13, and 12). I miss seeing them off to school but when you have to be out the door no later than 7:05, in order to be at work by 7:30, they help each other out. Bryan and grandma would be so proud of them. I look forward to getting home and seeing them and just talking with them asking how their day was. Working on having them fix dinner when they get home. Going to cody's conference for school in a bit and he's doing great so far despite all the stuff that's happened in his young life. Jes so far is doing good (A's and B's) and so is Brett...his conference is next week

...thankful that I have not gotten sick especially with the swine flu about...i make sure the kids at school use sanitizer every time they cough or sneeze or blow their nose.

...thankful for the wonderful colors of fall. It is beautiful to see the changing of the leaves on the trees...especially down my street

...thankful for my krazy kids at school...they have been teaching me to be patient and i definitely need alot this year

...thankful for heat. Now that it's getting colder in the mornings it is nice to have heat to stay warm.

What are you thankful for?

Hoping to be more fit

You know when you haven't exercised in quite some time you realize that you have muscles you forgot you had...I did a great work out today and my arms, legs, back, shoulders, abs, hips, toes, eyebrows and eyelashes got a workout today...it was so worth it! I had fun and can't wait to do it all over again. Some high school girls (cheerleaders) were also in the class and I had better stamina than some of them. I am very proud of myself for not stopping a lot and pushing through the pain...just thought I'd share
