Deb my doctor told me the same thing.  I'm trying.... it's hard though when I get up at 5:00.  I hit a block right around 6:45 and all I want to do is sleep.  If I sleep too early I'll wake up at 9 and then won't go to bed until midnight.  So I have a little caffeine boost at 1:00 just to get me through the evening.

I hope this week is a good week, for me and for everyone here!  We have ANOTHER saturday school, we just had one last week.  I guess they thought since February was a short month they'd just do it back to back.  I had a bridal shower to host this saturday so I haven't gotten a lot of r & r & probably won't until the end of March.  Its a really heavy season.

coffee at six sounded like a good idea --- not sleeping...

That's great! 

I'm ready to move, where should I go????  The Congo maybe???? Teaching English?  There is a short term mission to tanzania I'm considering doing with my church this summer mainly to foster and provide assistance to female pastors there.  However I'm stepping in there in the mindset that I might want to go abroad long term to teach there...  Anyone know of services that send teachers abroad to teach and get paid (that's the tricky part...)??? 

I think when I was dusting my hard wood floors she was playing and might have sprained something.  She's putting her foot down now and has been livelier than yesterday.  I'm going to call the vet tomorrow.  She seems much better today, more like herself so I think it's going to heal just fine.

Ugh. Saturday school. Hope to get a lot done & make it worth while.

Happy Birthday Teejay!  Celebrating for you

It's already turned spring, upper 60s and even 70s on thursday!  Move to Texas  

We have our 'mock interview' tomorrow for our certification process to be an I.B. School.  I'm a little nervous about it.  Thankfully its just a mock interview.  The real deal is in March, of course right before testing time and when I move!  Wish us luck!  That's the thing about teaching, its very unpredictable even with lesson plans established!

Our attendance of students out with flu is getting high, if it gets too high they might have to shut down and sanitize everything.  Help prevent flu with flu shots, cleaning hands, covering mouth when you cough and passing on information to others.  6 have already passed just these few months I believe of the flu in the Dallas area.  It's scary.

where is everyone?  Awfully quite around here recently... 

cappu - glad your having fun drawing! good for you!

Mel - hang in there, you'll have freedom soon!

TGIF.  First week back has been draining, good but draining.  Elinor has been wild with the going back to work schedule and rain.

That's what I've heard - she's done quite well in the crate and its making me sleep better.  She doesn't want to go in at first but as soon as she does she's sound asleep.

Elinor is in that tearing up everything phase, before she was just teathing & really couldn't do anything now she is into everything. I've had to put everything on counters out of her reach  I started putting her back in her crate at night because she was getting into stuff & waking me up. I hate doing that but I think she actually slept quite while and cozy in her new crate.  I did too!

pretty good! Spent it with my parents and our dogs!    I've never been a big New Years fan, but I'm glad to have a fresh start!
