A "Normal" Week?

Well, I started this week saying how excited I was to finally be having a "normal" week.......hahahahaha.......I haven't been to church in over 3 weeks so on Saturday night I said "yay, I finally will get to go to church!" Well not exactly......woke up with Kota not being able to move his head AT ALL!! He was in so much pain. He laid on the couch and DID NOT MOVE! If you know my Kota you will know that he never is still for more than a couple of minutes!! Not a bad thing, just who he is!! A dear friend brought us lots of good stuff including a "tens" machine - which Kota called the "defribulator"!!! Lol!! Did everything we could think of all day Sunday - but to no avail - he woke up Monday still in bad shape so I called Memaw and she got him in to the chiropractor - long story short - he was hurt alot more than just his neck! He was having muscle spasms starting at his hips up his back all the way to his neck!! He got "worked on" but his neck was too swolen for it to be worked on. What an ordeal that has been - he's finally doing better today - we think it probably started with him doing weight lifting at school!
Back track a little to Sun night and Jeremy and I are woken by Damon who has 103 fever and is shaking from head to toe uncontrollably! He stays with us all night which means we were worried sick about him and didn't sleep........took him to the Dr first thing on Mon morn...........he has strep and his white blood count is off the charts!! His poor body was fighting this so hard and this is why he was shaking.......he had no symptoms other than a headache on Sun night before bed. He ended up getting a shot (which he was not too happy about) and other meds.......he is now too feeling better. I am so releived to see them both feeling more like themselves. It always gets me "down" when any of my babies are hurt or sick - I guess that is the Mother's Love that God gives us.
So it's only Tues and wow what a week it has been already!!!!! Soooo I guess I'll hope for a "normal" week next week!!! Lol!!

K-3 Teaching!

Wow! How the time has flown - I have been substituting teaching in our 3 yr old class - and I have thoroughly enjoyed it! I have never taught 3 year olds - what an experience they have been. Every day one of them will say something (whatever pops into their head at the moment) that will just keep me laughing all day long!!! Our regular teacher has been out for the past 6 weeks taking care of her precious new addition: Mallory Gwen!! I sure have missed her - she is one of my dearest friends - and I was so used to talking with her on a "daily" basis!! Yes, I know she only lives down the block from me - but I wanted to give her plenty of time to herself, her family and the new baby!!! Anyway, this is my last week to be the "teacher" - just trying to think of ALL the ways I can "spoil" her class before she returns next week!! She will just LOVE me for it - I know!!!
