Call the Waaaa-mbulance

Friday morning I woke up and my throat was hurting, but I figured that it was just my ever-present allergies! (Be jealous I won that genetic jackpot) I took a couple Tylenol throughout the day, but by the time I had gotten home it had worn off and I was pretty near shaking uncontrollably. One look at my throat and I was convinced it was strep. I was so upset because Friday night was our spring carnival at school and Zach and I were signed up to work. I had even told the kids to look for me that night. I nearly cried when I called my principal to let her know I wouldn't be able to make it, but she was wonderfully understanding and told me that they'd get it taken care of.  I actually did cry when I called to tell zach I was sick and needed to go the Dr. I hopped in the car and went to the MOM in Henderson. Thank The Lord they were pretty fast on a Friday evening and I was in and out in a little under an hour. The dr. Didn't even need to do a strep test because my throat looked that lovely. I raced home and Zach ran to the pharmacy to pick up my Rx and other things. 
I was up 8-9 times that night and my sweet Nellie girl laid with me all night and followed me each time I got up. Talk about making me feel loved. 

I literally laid on the couch all but an hour on Saturday. This is more whining, but it also tri-Fest in Henderson, and Zach and I always go and get some yummy, unhealthy stuff to eat. Obviously with strep that isn't going to happen. I was also supposed to mow at Mama Joyce's and then babysit Ben, Becca, and Claire. I naturally felt horrible about not being able to do either of those things either.
My super sweet husband waited on me all day, though, and anticipated my every need. He even drove me across town at 9:00 to get an ice-dream because I wanted one so badly. During every hard time, he only reaffirms why I married him! 
I tried to sleep in our bed last night, but it just wasn't happening, so Nellie and I moved out to the couch again. I did sleep better (only got up 3 times), but each time I swallow it feels like I am choking on glass.  I am not getting to go to church today, and am just praying that I will feel better tomorrow. It's the week of ISTEP, so I reaaaly don't need/want to miss. 

So, to end my sulking, I have to say at least this time I make it 2 yrs 1 month between cases of strep, I have lost 3 lbs, and am fixing to go get more soothing ice cream from Dairy Queen! Gotta find that silver lining somewhere! ; )

Family room re-do featuring.... my curtains! : )

For a while now, we've planned on finally finishing our family room.  That's right, it's kind of been unfinished for the entire time we've lived there.  It was painted and decorated, just no molding and the ceiling was hideous because we (and by we, I mean Zach) took down the drop ceiling the previous owners had put up.  So, anyway, I looked at curtains and didn't really find anything I liked, so I decided I was going to make my own.  Zach and I looked at Jo-Ann's a couple times and each time we looked I liked this fabric more and more.  It was the most expensive fabric I've ever bought, but in the end, it was sooooo worth it! (*Note- I bought the fabric in January before NSM! : )) Here we are at Mama Joyce's one day after church cutting the panels.  I think we were all nervous to cut it.  It was too costly to mess up! Fast forward a couple weeks because I didn't have time, was lazy, and also scared to sew on it, and I finally just delved in an...

Turns out...

Third grade is not bad at all! The kids are still pretty sweet and are so excited for me to be there and I am excited too! I think it will be fun to see all that they can do and have fun with them. Yesterday I received 5 notes on my desk about how excited that I was there and about how much fun we were going to have. I think they are right! Hopefully I get the hang of them quickly, because I start teaching Science (Mon and Wed), Social Studies(Tues and Thur), and PE (Fri) next week!

Bumpdate: 41 weeks!

How Far along: 41 weeks.   Baby's size: Size of a jack fruit!  Around 7.5 lbs. (I think he's going to be about 8 lbs and Zach's official guess is 9 lbs. 2 oz.  I hope he's wrong!) Weight loss/gain: 30 lbs. (So glad the weight gain is slowing down!) Sleep: I told Zach I no longer am even trying to keep track of how much I am getting up to go to the bathroom. Gender: B-O-Y Movement:  He has been back to his super active little self this week.  Best Moment of this week:  Getting to spend time at home together now that we're finished with the old house.  Also, the 3 day weekend!  We didn't sleep in, much, but we figure that's all about to end anyway! Looking Forward: Getting to meet our baby boy.  I think it will be a little weird, because I truly don't feel like I'm finished being pregnant yet.  But, alas, we pretty much have to follow Dr.'s orders. Food cravings: Still pineapple!  ...
