A week later....

I have so much I need to write about! I just took two advil pm, so bare with me....I hurt badly.

Since last Sunday lots has happened....ok so not much but it feels like lots! Monday was a nice restful day. Ok, so I take that back as well. My best friend from my childhood text me asking me if I had a weed-eater, and I said yes, why? She needed to borrow. So I took down to her house and her dad was making a sand box with the grandkids.....so I got suckered into building this sandbox, then filling it with sand, and then pulling nails ad staples out of old post from the back porch. I look at Kate at one point and said "does this remind you of our childhood, when we would go to play and our parents would put us to work instead?" She laughed and said "it never ends" It was a nice Monday all together!

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday were at the Gautsch's Chris was headed back to school so I got to spend time with Miss. H, S, Em, and Mr. J, when he wasnt at school. I found that I enjoyed sitting at the table with the girls working on my stuff on the computer or reading my book, while they did their school work way to much (If you ever want a break from teaching, I'll do it!) It was lots of fun, and then I was there when they needed me! It was different not having the babes there tho, it was WAY to quiet!

Friday was a simple day, I went in later to the Gautsch's so everyone could get some sleep. It was short day it seemed. That afternoon I had my MRI for my back. That took to long! My best friend went with me because she knew what to say when I fumbled around the answer. What would I have done with out her....thats right, not gone! haha. I wish I had her confidence in life. She is so smart, beautiful, and approaches the world with her head high....while I lumber behind head hanging, scared to breathe or look.

Later that night we went to her house and she and I made dinner for her husband and my brother. We made homemade Alfredo sauce and added grilled chicken, mushrooms, and broccoli to it. It was AMAZING! Everything we made. Then we fed the boys and they ate it all up!

My back has been killing me. My right arm and shoulder have been in so much pain, I hope this MRI shows something that will lead the doctors to know what to do next to relieve me of the pain I am in. I have learned to grit my teeth and go with it, but I am holding back tears!

Classes start back tomorrow! I only have two now! Sitting at a desk for hours causes lots of pain to the back too.....mostly arms, but I am glad to be starting the final chapter to my college career. Come May I will be opening a new one and I look forward to it!

I am happy, content, and excited to see what comes with the dawn of a new day!

Advil taking ov.e....rrr........
