Spring

Ahhh...warm air, sunshine, AK playing in the dirt...Spring has sprung. I'm looking forward to pretty, sunny, warm weather. Just keep all the storms away!
I've been kind of down lately, and this weather is a great pick-me-up. Last week was a rough one, but I'm ready to start new. I hope everyone is enjoying our beautiful weather today!

Loss of brain power

I am losing my mind. I swear, as I get older, my brain loses some of it's ability to function normally.

Examples:
1. I was prescribed antibiotics for my sinus infection. I was supposed to take them for ten days. Well around day 8 I looked in the bottle and thought, "Man, they gave me a ton of these horse pills." Uh - no Amy, you just didn't read the directions right. I have been taking one per day instead of the two prescribed.

2. Last weekend I decided to make buffalo chicken pizza. I had it all put together. It looked so yummy! I was feeling so domestic. I popped it in the oven and waited for it's deliciousness to be cooked and ready to eat. Well, when I pulled the pan out of the oven...guess what...I forgot to put the cheese on!

3. I put the cereal in the fridge and the milk in the cabinet the other morning.

4. I swear I have sour cream in my refrigerator. I needed it tonight for dinner. It's not there. I even made John look. Gone. I have no idea when I used it or if it was ever really there to begin with.

I'm sure there are plenty more, but I won't bore you any longer with my absentmindedness.

BTW - there are two HILARIOUS blogs that I read daily. I would like to share them because I think you might enjoy a good laugh.

Drums in my head

Have you ever had such a bad headache that every time you turn over in bed your head throbs uncontrollably? Well, that was my life last night.

I had had a headache all day, and by the time I got home from work I could barely concentrate. I laid down for a few minutes and felt my sinuses shift a little. I got up and finished dinner and nightly routines before I collapsed back into bed. I think I woke up every hour with a throbbing head. This morning I felt better once I stood up, but I could feel the headache lingering in the back of my head, waiting for it's chance to take over again. It stayed away until this afternoon . It's still floating around, paining me at times, but it's not too bad.

I got a doctor's appointment. I got prescriptions. I hope I feel better soon.

Good news is...I didn't have strep.

All eyes on me...

Today is a Professional Development Day at school. I have been chosen to facilitate one of the cross grade level groups today. Sigh.
I don't think they have figured out how much stress this causes me!

I know I should probably take it as a compliment to be chosen. Some never get chosen and stress about that, but speaking in front of a group is not my thing.

I will survive. Luckily I know most of the teachers in my group. So that is a plus!

On another note...

I am still not quite ready to share my news from the previous post...although I shared it with Joy, and I think Joy is the only one who reads this :) Give me about 2 more weeks!

Happy Friday all.

Change is Good...right?

I feel that life is about to change as I know it. I can't be too specific right now, but things are definitely beginning to look different. Ooohhh, it's a mystery for now! Check back in a week or so for more details.

I speak from experience

Two posts in two days. This is very unusual, but I have some very important advice to share.

Never. Use. Blue. Nail polish.

AK picked out dark blue nail polish before Christmas. So, I thought it would be "cute" if we had matching blue toenails for the holidays. Ummmm, remind me to never do that again.

I finally got around to taking the polish off (eewww, I know) and guess what?

I think it's permanent. I can't get it all off.

Good thing it's not sandal season.

Lost Connection

At 2:00 today our Internet went down. No, I wasn't home, but I felt it..somehow. John called to tell me something happened to it while he was playing Wii. Have I mentioned that's all he likes to do these days?
Anyway - let me back up. I have been on the phone with Bellsouth, excuse me, AT&T, tech support twice this week because they keep messing up my email. Then I come home to no Internet - I think they're out to get me!
So, to make a long story short, AT&T did nothing to help restore my connection. It was my wonderful sister-in-law Pammy. She came to my rescue all the way from Mississippi!

I think my withdrawl tremors are finally starting to subside.
