Tonsil Day!!!

Carsyn got her tonsils and adenoids taken out this morning. She did well with the surgery. The medicine they gave her first to make her a little more calm was so funny...she was flat on her back, smiling and laughing and trying to speak with slurred speech. Scott and I couldn't stop laughing. The surgery was quick. He said her tonsils were awfully large but came out well. She had a hard time waking up...she cried and cried until they gave her a few more doses of pain meds. We went to a recovery room for a mandatory 4 hours. She did not sleep one bit. She was awake the whole time and wanted to eat. Sometimes she was crying and wanted her grandma. Sometimes she was walking all over the room...complete with iv...laughing and joking. The iv was the worst thing because she wanted it out.
We are home and she is FINALLY taking a long nap. yeah!!! Keeping her calm for two weeks is going to be toughbut she is doing great so far!
By the way...she took daddy baby along for moral support...the entire hospital staff got a kick out of that big ugly baby doll! They all thought it was her baby brother and agreed is was the ugliest doll they'd ever seen! Daddy baby went through surgery and recovery with her!

Back to School

So the home computer is still being repaired.... no new pictures to post yet. But there are many ready to go when we do finally get it back! I had my first week back at inservice...a little dull as usual, but good to get back into the swing of things! My students start on Monday...we are almost at 2400 students last I heard. Wow, that's way too many. We now have portable buildings all around the school....our administrators call it our FEMA community. It's pretty bad.
Speaking of pretty bad, Carsyn's tonsils are still awful. We went to see the ENT last Monday and he said they were almost touching. She is getting her tonsils and adenoids out this Thursday. It seems like something happens the first week back to school almost every year for me!!! Marcus is going to have to miss his 4th day of school to stay home with Payton...not sure what other option we have. Thanks goodness I have a stay-at-home mom friend who lives right by my school and will let Carsyn rest at her house at the end of the next week so she doesn't have to go back to day care too soon.
Well I guess I should go...a little ballerina who is currently on her 6th outfit of the day (and it's only 10:45 am) is dying to go swimming. Talk to you later!

What Time is It???

The big day is FINALLY here. We have literally been counting down for months. For those of you out of the loop, it is HIGH School Musical 2 premiere day. You all have to watch it tonight on the Disney Channel. Great music, appropriate for all ages, and Zach Ephron could not be any more adorable. So check it out! Carsyn is going to school today in her new HSM shirt, hat and buttons with stickers to share. Yeah!!!

The Hills discussion group...after the show

Ok, to all my Hills fans out there. This is our weekly post show discussion group....kinda like a book club but much easier. So what did you think?
1. Lauren...didn't you feel so sad for her when she went home to see her mom?
2. Heidi...she had a boob job and a nose job. Too bad she didn't have a brain job or a common sense job...what an idiot. She has NO friends except Jen Bunny who has the biggest nose ever!
3. Spencer...oh my goodness...the Hollywood grafitti wall? What an idiot.
4. Do you think Heidi and Spencer really started the rumors? I think Heidi is a complete idiot and is totally naive to the fact that Spencer did it. Just my thinking.

What else?????

tattoos and haircuts

Of all the times to NOT be computer ready...this is ridiculous! Scott and I went to get matching tattoos on Saturday...now that's love. We took in the previously posted photo of carsyn's hand doing "Ilove you" in sign language. He drew that with three flowers around the wrist,,,one for each kid. It's on my ankle and definitely permanent, but is really awesome. Scott has his on his arm. We will show pictures soon!
Today I got my haircut...short! I got it really short in teh back...Jenny calls is a stacked bob. I feel so stylish now. Again...pictures will come when I figure it all out or get my other computer back!

I'M STILL HERE!!!

Hey everyone. I am still here and have just returned from a 10 day trip to Ohio to see the family. Unfortunately our computer is still in the repair stages so I am using my Mac laptop from school. Normally it is more user friendly, but I can't figure out the photo program for the life of me. Amy took a millon photos while we were there and they are all amazing. Please check her site for postings of the girls and Marcus...I just realized that hundreds of photos and 10 days but not one photo of me. Oops.
