Old Photos

A few years ago my computer crashed and we lost all of our early digital photos. Sucked so bad! I've wised up since then and all of our photos are now protected. I've been going through the ones we lost (we have them as thumbnails, but can't make them any bigger) and found some old gems that didn't get lost somehow...

Kam and Adam's first trip to Disneyland! Adam was such a chunk!

One of our favorite Disneyland photos.

Carlee, Paisley and Kourtney--a few kids from my favorite class ever! They all just started college. I'm old.

BreAnn, Kourtney, and Caitie, also from the best class ever!

First Day of School

This year we sent off ALL four kids! That's a first for us. Brynn is just going two days a week for a couple hours (preschool). Here's hoping for a great year for all of them!

Adam (3rd grade), Kyson (neighbor), Kam (5th grade), and Max (1st grade-he's a little shrimp!)

My Down Time

So I am feeling quite a bit better and hope to be out of this infection funk. I see the doctor on Friday for a final analysis, but things are looking good--there's no puss! For those who have not had the experience of laying down on your side or stomach for about three weeks straight, trust me, you are not missing out on something that should be on a bucket list. It's hard to read from that angle, so thankfully I had my laptop from school to keep me busy. Here's a list of what I watched:

2 full seasons of Scrubs
1 and 1/2 seasons of Friends
Lethal Weapon 1 and 2
Oceans 11, 12, and 13 (loved 12 so much more this go around)
Miracle on 34th Street (I know...it's only August)
Hurt Locker
That Thing You Do!
Home Alone
Patriot Games
Joe vs. the Volcano
Too many Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives to count
Grown Ups
Return To Me
You've Got Mail

I know there were many more, but I can't think of what they are--I'm on Percocet right now, so a little fuzzy.

Surgey Success--for now

The surgery went well today. They got out all the infection so I did not have to stay the night. I am just lying down and trying once again to recuperate. I really want to get strength back quickly so I can be in my classroom on Tuesday.

Surgery Again

The surgery I had on my tailbone last week went well (at least the tailbone WAS removed), but I came down with an infection. So I have to go in for surgery again on Thursday to clear out the infection. And I will be wearing a pickline for the next two weeks.

If you pray, please include me and my family in them. Thanks.

SYTYCD

Melanie Moore won it! She was the best dancer of the season and definitely deserved the win! Not my favorite season, but it had its moments.

Stir Crazy

Had the surgery on Thursday and everything went as well as could hope. Now I'm high on percocet and going absolutely crazy! I have been laying on my side or stomach for the past 5 days and I think I might die of boredom. I don't know how bedridden people do it. Lindsay is at the dinosaur museum with the kids. I actually tried getting out today, but couldn't make it more than a few hundred yards--I thought the stitches were going to rip. Hate this.

Loved This!

Surgery...

Tomorrow I'm getting my coccyx removed! It's been a pain in my butt for far too long. I'm a bit nervous and I hate surgery. So wish me luck!
