Hey everyone. Just wanted to put up a post saying MERRY CHRISTMAS to all. I know it is still a day or so away, but I will be too busy to post the next few days.
So this week was great. I got Monday off from school. WOOHOO. However...since I leave at 6:40am to catch my first bus to get to School, the School Board website and phone line was still saying school was on. So I went out and traveled to school. So I do the bus thing, and walk up the hill to the school driveway. As I am walking up the driveway, I near the top and notice there are NO CARS!!! Usually there are at least 6 cars there when I get there. Anyway, so I checked the door, and it was locked. DANGNABIT!! So I bus back home, and thanks to Kevin for seeing me waiting for my last bus and picking me up. He drove me the rest of the way. Anyway, it would have taken about 30 minutes to drive there and back, but thanks to my bus/walk routine, it was 2 and a half hours from when I left at 640am, before I got back home...and that was going to the school, and turning right around and coming back. Yeah, so I was a bit ticked off at the stinky HRSB for not posting the cancellation sooner.
In other news, it was great to finish on Thursday. The students were complaining SOOOOO much about any work. So here is what has happened since then. I felt sick Thursday morning, and got really worn out throughout the day. So when it was time to go home, I wasn't feeling too hot. I felt like I was getting the flu or something. So Friday I woke up still sick, but managed to get us organized to travel down here to Yarmouth. My throat felt really swollen Friday, and during the night to Saturday. So Saturday morning I was up early with Morgan, and was telling Kelly how I felt sick like when I had Strep Throat before. So I said I was going to go into the Hospital to get checked out. Well, I went in early, and the doctor said I had Tonsillitis. So I got a nice perscription, and went back to my parents. So I have been still not feeling well (getting up early with Morgan has not helped....like 5am early), and have been trying to recover the whole time down here so far.
Well, that's my story. Sorry no pictures with this post. Kelly hates it when I don't post with pictures. But she's asleep right now, so too bad. hahahaha. Anyway, so everyone have a good Christmas Day. We are having a great time here in Yarmouth. Lots of food and treats. Lots of kids. Lots of headaches. Lots of Christmas cheer.
Deck the Halls with Tonsillitis
Since I Skipped Church....
Well, I figured that since I stayed home from church to look after a sick Emma...I could at least do an update.
Well, poor Emma has been battling sickness for almost a month it seems. She got a cold, and it never really went away. Last week we took her to the Doc, and found out she has an ear infection. Now she's on meds for that, but last night she was coughing all night. She came in at one point and asked me to keep her company, so I reluctantly went and spent the night on the bottom bunk. What a night!! Morgan is doing good, other than a runny nose. She likes to tease me already. I will tell her to say "Pops" and she'll say "Mama mama mama". Yeah, thanks a lot Morgan. I thought we were friends. I am not going to let her borrow my Peach Dream My Little Pony. Not until she says "Pops"!!!
We took pictures of the girls yesterday. They have matching outfits on, pretty much. Here's one of my favorites from the bunch.
So I have been practice teaching for the past couple weeks. I am at Bedford Junior High. I travel about an hour to get there every day, due to buses and walking. But I have been having a great time teaching Grade 8 Math. I can't wait for the break though. 4 more days!!!
I got a letter from MSVU the other day. There was a pin enclosed that had the school logo, and the word "Scholar" on it. I thought they had the wrong address. The letter said that I made the Dean's First Class Honors List for last year. Sounds pretty good, huh? Actually, it's kind of a joke for the BEd students to get these (most get them), cause they hand out A's like prune juice at a Rita McNeil concert. It's still fun though...I can tease Kelly and say I am a scholar, anytime she questions me on something.
Last month we took Emma and Morgan to the Discovery Center. I objected, since the Natural History Museum was cheaper...but I am just the Pops here, not the CEO. It was fun though, even if I did spend more than I wanted to. Here's a few pictures to show...
Well, things are going fine for our little family. We are having a good season, and wish everyone else a great Christmas and New Year's. I am sure everyone has heard by now (and if you haven't that means you probably don't live in NS) that Kelly has a bun in the oven. Not literally...it's a saying. It means she's pregnant. See, the bun is the baby, and the oven is her belly. Kinda like how a bun rises as it bakes, the baby grows in her belly. Makes more sense now, huh? Kelly has been sick, but is getting better, I think. She's mostly been tired out. She's a trooper. But yeah, June 18th, 2008 will be the day we welcome the BOY...or girl. It's probably going to be a girl. That's okay though. I am fine with another girl. But if it happens to be a boy, that should be fun. A little quarterback. Named Henry. I'll call him Hank.
Extreme Makeover: Dresser Addition
Kelly made me do this blog, so I apologize if it is super boring. I know I almost fell asleep just writing this sentence. Just kidding, she did a great job on the dresser, with a lot of help from her Dad. She has been trying to get me to post this marvelous piece of work for some time. She said "people have been wanting to see it", to which I asked her "who?" She then said, "Beckey". Anyway, Beckey, this one is for you apparently. Hope everyone else likes it. (Oh, and tell Kelly she did a great job, so she'll stop asking me if it looks good enough).
Here are the "before" pictures....
(when she brought this home, I almost put her in a time out for buying something so hideous)
MOVE THAT BUS!!!!!!!!!!!
(She did such a great job on the dresser that I put myself in a time out for being doubtful)
Anyway, that's the dresser. We want to thank Ty Pennington for being so inspiring (except for his DUI charges...not so inspiring).
