4 days later.....................

So I'm not doing too bad:/ I haven't been on but that's ok, I didn't really have much to say and with still not feeling good, I hate getting on trying to think of something to write.

Yesterday I finally went to church:) It has been a month since I've gone, been dealing with the boys and mine illness. I still wasn't feeling totally better but thought that this gunk will probably last and if I'm not coughing I don't have a real reason not to go anymore. I can take motrin to kill the pain in my head.

I had thought about going to see the Dr on Friday when I found blood in my ear late Thursday night, but I thought I'd wait because I just got off of the other antibiotics and wanted to see how things would go. Well, my ears started feeling the pressure again and when I told Shel he let me know that he never finished all his meds and had about 7 days worth so I started on his that is left over. It was the actual medication that I wanted in the first place that he got from the Dr so I will see how this will do. It's already been 2 days and I can actually tell a difference with my right ear. So here's hoping that this last round of medication will do the trick and I will start to feel better. I'm sure there is some other things I still need to have looked at, but if I can get this sinus thing licked then I would be a little happier!

So, next Sunday will be my first day of teaching a Primary song in a language I don't speak:/ Time will tell how this will go, but I will give it my best shot! Need to come up with some creative ways to get the kids excited about learning the songs.

So, after coming home from church yesterday Sheldon told me that one of the sister's in our ward pulled him aside to show him something that I posted on fb and she felt was offensive:0 Now I have to laugh at this because this sister is always on fb talking about how much she hates the sisters in our ward or "Mormons" for that matter whenever she doesn't get what she want's from the church. I never realized that calling sick people "sickos" was "offensive";) Sheldon tried to tell her that the word was all in jest but she felt that I needed to to be careful not to offend the members in our ward. Again this makes me giggle because this sister after a Stake Conference wrote on fb how when a new high council member was sustained and was going to be over the single adult program for the stake she professed publicly how much she "disliked" (she used the "H" word) this man and how she would never like him and blah, blah, blah.............. so you see how this can make me laugh. She is one of the sister's in our ward who expects people to jump when she throws her tantrums and unfortunately, some of the ward members let her get away with some of it. I think it's sad because I believe she uses the church as her personal banker:/ She has more worldly possessions in her home than most of the hard working and struggling ward members do and they give so much more and help so much more than she does. She has learned to manipulate the system here. It's such a shame really.

Oh well, I guess you can see that this is another one of my pet peeves. It's mostly about people who want to be offended! I believe that you cannot offend someone unless they want to be. You hear so much about how someone in the church was "offended" by someone, and most of the time the comment was not meant to be mean spirited or directed at the person who took offense! You can only be offended if you chose to be! There have been many times that things were said to me about how the ward here was catering to the "English speaking" sisters here and I could have taken offense to it. THey didn't want to go to a class because it would be given by someone who speaks "English" and they wouldn't get as much out of it. I just laughed it off because I know that the sisters who were complaining were just upset that I was trying to do something a little bit different and they weren't happy about it. The way things were said, I could have thought they were "attacking me" and that would give me the excuse to stop going to church here, but I didn't.

So............. with that being said, if I have ever said anything to "offend" any of you........ I'm sorry that you felt you needed to take the comment that way! It was not my intent on making you feel that you needed to be "offended";)

I decided that since next year will be a milestone birth year for me I am going to post something every day until my next birthday. I know I still have things to update from what's been going on here lately, but I can add those as I go. I've had other friends who've are very good at keeping up on their blogs and thought this could be fun. So we shall see..............

Today ended up being the day after my Birthday. I awoke to a counter covered in ants, those little buggers will not go away:( They are coming up from under the stove top and it's hard to keep them out. I am still trying to figure out a plan of attack but nothing so far has come to mind. Just doing the usual, spraying and wiping everything down. Last night someone forgot to rinse the ice cream scooper after the Bday celebration so they were all over the scoop and looking for more:/ I should have taken a picture then but didn't think about it at the time. Last year it only took two times and I had them licked! So, this will be my nemesis for the next little while:(

We had Parent-Teacher conferences tonight for the boys. We are trying to figure out what we need to do to help Christian with a couple of his classes that are worrying him, and after talking with his teacher's we have some good ideas. We found a couple tutors that will be helping out out for the next couple months, one for math and the other for Spanish. We decided that Kai will also go for spanish since he's missed so much the last few weeks because of illness and it could only help him. Now if we can just get Kai to work harder on writing neater and taking the time to be a little more in-depth in his writing then he should do well. DJ is doing pretty well and his teacher's are pleased with his work. So all in all not a bad night, but there's always room for improvement;)

So today has been foggy and tonight it still hasn't let up. I posted a picture above of one of the roads I drive almost everyday and what it looks like to drive at night:/ This road has BIG trees right next to the street so there's really not a lot of room for error. You should see what happens when a big truck or oversize vehicle is on the road and I have to try and miss it.................... Not fun!
