Ok, let me catch you up. Last Sunday night, I got sick. My body had felt achy all weekend; I had over 101 temp, and my head would not stop hurting. Thank God Sy. had stopped vomitting. I stayed home from work on Monday with a bad headache, but I had no more fever.
Our Tues. night International Festival was postponed at school due to the possibility of bad weather, death, sickness, and a host of other things.
The kids are pumped about Christmas holidays coming soon, and our classes are continuously thumping more than normally, which I did not think was even possible. LOL.
Sk. went on a R.A. bowling trip Wed. evening. Thurs., the weather really turned cold. We all were wishing for snow, but it didn't make it this far south! B. & I took off Thurs. evening to FINALLY get some Christmas shopping done! We ate until we bursted (nearly! ha!) at TGIF's. I absolutely LOVEEEE their vanilla bean pie. We got a lot done, but didn't arrive back home until 12:15. Two nights in a row of not sleeping but about 4 to 4 1/2 hours is for the birds! I was exhausted.
To top things off, my team partner was absent both Thurs. and Fri.!!! We had a new sub. come in on Friday. He was male, which was great for the kids!! They need a good male to look up to. He runs the Palenstine Gardens. The kids not only respected him, but they behaved wonderfully for him and enjoyed his companionship. He raced and played soccer with them. I thought I was the only one that pulled stunts like that. HAHAH!
I thank God I had another year of life given to me on Friday. It was my birthday. I turned 35 years, although I told everyone I was 25. After you hit 30, aren't you supposed to start subtracting a year every year thereafter? My students sang to me. At the end of the day, B. and the kids sent me a beautiful bouquet of roses and assorted flowers, and a student sent me a peppermint candle. What a surprise! They also gave me an MP3 player, which I have been wanting to add my Pimsleur Spanish lessons to so I can start learning! We had a family evening, which was much needed. We climbed into our pj's and watched a movie on the big screen. At 9 PM, it ended, and I fell asleep. I had a nice birthday. Everyone else sent me money. :)
Today, Sk. had his piano recital at the nursing home. Directly after, I had to rush him to his dress rehearsal for tomorrow night's kid's program at ABC. Then, we ate at Hook, Line, & Sinker. I think that is the best fried oysters I've ever eaten at a restaurant!! Tomorrow, we will head to B.'s grandparents directly after church for their Christmas gathering.
