Wow, twice in April

No Comments »

So I am on this Golden Girl marathon since much of my time at home is spent in my recliner or in bed.  Bed rest is not actually resting …it is like a torture form of boredom really! I thought I would like to catch up on my rest…but now I think I am overrested and my body is now trying to reject just the idea of rest. Worse thing is I can even really do anything in bed that is constructive…most things require me to use my back muscles. I thought of scrapbooking…back. I thought of folding laundry…back. I thought of organizing boxes of photos…back.

If I could teach my legs to be my arms…I think I would certainly nip this boredom in the bud. While Golden Girls is very funny, (Hubby disagrees but I move on) and entertaining it just isn’t enough!

I really want to scream and then scream some more and then laugh till I cry! But my Munchkin is asleep in the other room and that would probably freak her out a little. I am such a good mother… :) So I reach out to all my fellow bed rest readers…hang in there…it has to end sometime!

I wish I was more diligent…

in writing on here more often and after watching Julie & Julia I feel motivated to use my website more often. But what to write about. I guess first let me update everyone on how things are going. I tend not to write here for fear of our daughter’s ex-foster family will read to find out about her and they are not at ALL WELCOMED in our lives anymore! They were unhealthy for her and us and hopefully by now have gotten a clue and will leave us be.

We go to go court soon and the adoption is near is all I will say about that.

Our Munchkin is turning 5 soon and she thinks she is growing all the time. She often says that very thing to us. Sometimes she wants us to watch her grow while  she drinks milk. She always makes us smile.

I am looking forward to her turning five and seeing all the new milestones will come in her life. She will go to school where I teach next year and that in itself is going to be a journey.

My first year in teaching is nearly done and WOW! what a ride it has been. A glorious one! I have enjoyed it and quite frankly can’t believe it is almost over. In less than two months, I know I will be crying and sending off my kids into the summer and hope I have done all I can to prepare them for the first grade.

Here recently Hubby and I had some much needed me time and we had some great bbq at Rudy’s!

It was an adventure which always is when we travel.

There is only seven more weeks of school and then my first ever paid summer vacation takes place. I am quite looking forward to saying..”Hey they are paying me right now as I watch TV.”

So I am debating journaling on scrapbooking, reading the bible in a year, or reading book club online. Chime in and tell me some suggestions for those who know!

Me!
