Pray for Tyler

My new little nephew has not been released from the hospital yet. He had lost over a pound since being born and has a high level of jaundice. I pray that God will heal him and he can go home tomorrow!

FOREVER

Its been forever since I posted on here! I really need to do better! Going to have plenty of time now since school is out for the summer so I am off work!! I am working part time this summer for special ed summer school. Its just 4 hours a day 4 days a week for 6 weeks! So I will still have plenty of time off this summer! I am actually really looking forward to that part time job, I will be working with 6 and 7 year old autistic kids. In all my years of special ed, and all the different disabilities I have worked with if I had to pick one to work with it would be autistic!

I have a new nephew!! Tyler was born June 3. I can't wait to see him, I hope I get the chance soon! I know his big brothers are so excited and are going to be great with him, although I bet Conner bosses him around! LOL!

My plan for the summer is to really focus on me! I am going to workout as much as possible and follow WW and I hope by the time school starts in August I have at least half the weight I want to loose off! I am so determined to do this its scary! I think it comes from that this time last year I had cancer and now I have this drive to be fit and healthy!

The Visit

We had a good time! Saturday when they got here we just kinda chilled out and relaxed and went out for dinner! Sunday we had some issues so they day was kinda of a bust. Mom and I were going to run to Target and the car wouldn't start. At first Dad thought it was the battery, Dad and Bruce messed with it trying to charge it and jump it and it wouldn't start so they went and bought a new one and it still wouldn't start. So after further cussing from dear old Dad, they decided it was the starter. Well the starter in his car is HIDDEN, it took Bruce almost 2 hours to find it and get it out, so then they went and got a new one and Bruce put it in and wham the car started! Wohoo! Thank God Bruce knows how to do that stuff so we didn't have to take it to a mechanic. Well by the time that was done the day was pretty much gone so we just went out for some dinner. Monday I took Mom to Grapevine Mills Mall and Bruce took Dad to Bass Pro Shop. All in all it was a great visit, mostly just time to chill out and spend time together! Dad made the comment a few times that the drive here wasn't all that bad so they will come visit again! YEAH!!

Tomorrow!

Its finally here! Spring break has started and my parents will be here tomorrow! I can't wait!!!

The count down begins!

Wohooo! My parents will be here Saturday(6 days) ! I am still not trying to get to excited in case something happens and they can't come I know thats not being very faithful and believing so I am working on that too! I have my yearly women exam coming up next week and I am a little stressed about that. Not that I think anything is wrong its just last year I went to my yearly appointment and my dr. discovered the lump in my throat and decided my blood pressure was too high so she wanted me on blood pressure meds! Which I am going to try try try to talk her into taking me off of next week. I finally feel like I have my life back on track from the cancer issue and I am doing so well with weight watchers and exercising I am just afraid something is going to come along and mess it up..again I know I have no faith! I need to stop worrying about it all and just believe! Sometimes that is so hard~

Spring time in Texas

Its freaking snowing!!! It hasnt snow all winter when you expect to get snow(not that you ever really expect it in Texas at any time) but today it snowed like crazy. Of course now its stopped and I want it snow more so we will have a snow day from school tomorrow! LOL! Not likely to happen though.
I talked to my parents tonight and they are planning on coming to Texas when I am on spring break so I am really excited about that! I am really looking forward to that! My dad is "grumbling" about it, but I can tell he really wants to come he just doesn't want to admit it, which is SOOOO my dad! LOL! I think he is actually looking forward to it as well!

March

Well I know its about time right? I don't do very good at keeping on this thing, partly because I spend more time on my other blog with some friends we are all trying to loose weight, and partly because i wonder all the time if anyone even reads it since hardly any comments ever get made. Anyway, I am soooooo ready for spring break. 2 more weeks and its going to be a crazy 2 weeks with TAKS testing starting this week. My mom and dad are thinking about coming to Texas during spring break and I REALLY hope they decided to come. My dad is worried about the drive and if he is up for it or not. Either way I am looking forward to having a week off work and relaxing a little. I am hoping to get a lot of working out done during that week too, my weight loss has been slow so I am hoping I can jump start it a little that week. This past week has been really good, Bruce and I settled into a routine that consisted of us not really spending much time together and I was not liking it so we talked about it and things this past week have been greatly different. We have spent time together every night and still have time for each of us to do our own thing as well, I nice balance and its been very good for me. Sometime I feel so alone here because I dont really have any friends here, at least not until recently, I meet a girl awhile back at Weight Watchers and the past month she and I have been getting close and spending some time together, shopping and going to lunch kinda things, especially when Bruce has been gone to Kansas its been nice to have a friend. Well I feel like I am just rambling on here so I guess I will stop for now, I am going to make an effort to post more.
