Dinner with Friends and a little update

I can honestly say, it has been one crazy short week. This week, my computer broke, my cell phone broke, and my iPod is on its way to dying. Blakely had to have a bath two nights in a row...one night in lemon juice and we had to use a vinegar/water solution on her too. All while I have had strep, but have been too stubborn to go to the doctor. I finally broke down yesterday after school. It is strep again. So, I'm home from school today. I have probably only missed about 5 days since I started teaching. So my avereage is about 1 day a year. I have a feeling it will be more this year. Too bad, because today was Enrichment Day, which would have been fun. Also, I am sad to already be wide awake at 6:30am on my day "off". Oh well, already took my first round of meds and I can have a productive day at home. Hopefully!

I will say I am thankful for my very busy Dr's office to get me in without even having an appointment. Did you know that a strep test is a lot like a pregnancy test? I was so anxious sitting there waiting to see if two pink lines would appear, revealing a positive strep test. Ha ha ha! While I was in the lab, one of my students' grandma was getting blood drawn. She heard my diagnosis and said that she assumed I would be out for a few days. I said, "We'll see." I am so stubborn. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I needed to get completely well and stop exposing them to all of those airborn germs that I've been spreading.

I did do some crazy things yesterday. I tried to give the Dr.'s office my insurance card instead of health insurance card. I tried to sign a check with a blush brush that I thought was a pen. I struggled with the door back out to the waiting room for a few minutes before reading the sign that said to push the button at the same time as turning the knob. I couldn't remember if I left my Rx at the Dr.'s or if they just called it in to my pharmacy. When I got there I had to explain this to the Pharmacist. Luckily, they called it in. Then I called a number that I thought was my support teacher, Mrs. Sharon, and started off the conversation with, "YOU ARE GOING TO KILL ME! GUESS WHAT I HAVE?" only to hear a confused voice that wasn't Mrs. Sharon ask, "What?" ha!! I had called my friend Ali that lives down the street from me by mistake. Oh my, we got a good laugh!!

My friend Ali posted these on facebook yesterday (she probably remembered to after she got my crazy phone call), so I had to steal a few! A great reminder of a great night with some friends. I've met all of these awesome ladies through Junior Service League...Charity, Hollie, Ali, and Bethany.
