I've been waiting to blog for the new camera I ordered to arrive. I was going to take a few pictures and post them. Well..... the camera came and it is easy to use and takes great pictures. I thought I put it in my bag to bring to school to load the pictures and blog them, but yesterday I didn't have the camera. I can't find it anywhere. Brand new! Where the heck is it? Lefty and Pudge didn't take it! I HATE when this happens!
Tonight a haircut, then Dan's company Christmas party.

catching up, finally
Gee, I'm getting as bad as everyone else, not posting! I have an excuse - I've been sick again. Pretty sure it started with the flu, WAY BACK on Labor Day, then I had bronchitis, now ear infection. I am taking antibiotics, but its not helping. My ear doesn't hurt, but very rarely clears enough for me to hear. I stayed home the first couple of days, but thought I might as well try to teach. The kids just have to speak up. I'll go back to the Dr as soon as the pills are gone. Maybe they can try something else.
This weekend I went to a little quilt shop in a home in a tiny town near here (Tracy) with a friend. The owner is everyone's grandma, you certainly get welcomed there. I bought some Christmas fabric to use on the backs of some quilts made with panels that I bought several months ago. I got a couple of them put together today.
We are one third done with the school year this week. Hard to believe, huh? Nothing else going on around here - just work.

BIRTHDAY fun
Here are some pics from Lynne and Chelsey's dessert birthday party on Sunday. Dan and Emily are recovering from a giggle fest in this picture - something about jumping on the couch in a story or something. 
This one is Dallas enjoying being served cheerios by both aunts at once!

Regular stuff
Nothing much going on here. I went to the Dr and am taking antibiotics but still have a cough. It gets a teensy bit better every day. Other than that I am just keeping secrets. Lynne and Chelsey are going to celebrate their birthdays on Sunday and I am going to try a couple of magazine recipes for desserts.

new stuff
I have just a few minutes before I get to go stand in the rain and watch students get picked up after school. Thanks for giant umbrellas. I noticed that when the other team did their two weeks it was sunny every day. In the 14 days I have had this duty it has rained 6.
I am trying a new adventure. Our church has had a very large set of bells for a long time, but no choir for about 10 years? Well, we are attempting it again. I just had to be part of this. We rehearse on Wednesdays at 5:00. I asked Dan to meet me at church last night and we went on a "date" for supper before we went back to church for chancel choir. It was fun and relaxing, so I think we'll try it again next week. Our plan is to share the "wealth" among all our fast food places. I am lead teaching in all four of my classes this week, and really enjoying the experience. It does make for a tired voice by the end of the day, though, something I don't usually have in my small group work.
Gotta go have fun in the rain---

finally better
Today is the first day I feel like I haven't coughed nonstop. I was embarassed yesterday when I went to give blood, then ate a cookie and went to bell choir. I played away on one song and all of a sudden felt really woosey and had to sit and be fanned. It was awfully hot in there, but I think it was just too much after being sick. My white count was appropriate for giving blood, however. I'm feeling ok now.
Don't you just have to admire L for filming while her son sits in a puddle of dog dish water! I loved it! Poor Bo will probably have to go thirsty now that D has discovered the source of all that fun!
I want to give a public thanks to G for fixing the brakes on my car and ordering my new tires. He had to go above and beyond to get the brakes correct. My car acts like its proud to be seen in its new shoes!

doings
Cough. Well, here's what I've been doing lately cough cough. I was sick all weekend - great holiday, huh? cough cough. I even stayed home Tuesday cough cough. I rarely run a temp, but did this time but the worst was the headache cough cough. I have only one symptom left. Can you guess?
There will be a big hubbub here tomorrow as the school prepares for Iowa State/Iowa game. Everyone is encouraged to back their team by dressing and advertising for their choice. Some teachers go a little overboard but it is mostly good natured. Can't wait for the real day as I get to babysit.
My newest duty has been breakfast supervision. The kids get a tray with a box on it. The box has cereal and a poptart, spoon and napkin. They are supplied milk and juice. Most days there is also a hot choice, yesterday was breakfast pizza. The kids can't open their milk bottles (not cartons anymore) and some can't take the lid off their cereal. Many just nibble and throw everything away. Some just throw everything away - makes you wonder why they come to breakfast? It is optional, so why are they doing that? Once they take it , it has to be thrown out, so no saving all those bottles of unopened milk, or poptarts, etc. What are we teaching at school nowadays? Some, of course, need and appreciate the breakfast they get.
