Tony's House

I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful fall weekend! We spent the day at Tony's house. He is having major water issues in the basement. So my parents and Tony spent yesterday digging trenches with the Bobcat and tearing apart the basement. Today we filled in the trenches attempting to get the water to run away from the house. Rosie and I cleaned windows. Laura came over after work and painted some of his closet and even gave Lexi (Rosie's dog) a nice black spot on the top of her head.

Trenching the gutters away from the house.

Hey guys....what's going on?

Filling in the area

Working Hard

Even Lexi was working hard and had to get a drink.

Goodbye Summer

I remember...

I remember when school pictures used to take months to get back from the photographer. Now two and a half weeks later and I am handing out school pictures to the students today. It is amazing how far photography has come.

Being a teacher, we get our picture taken for the yearbook. This then entails the photography company giving us our own packets of pictures. When I first started teaching, I thought it was a little weird getting pictures of myself like I was still in grade school. Now seven years later, I just hope that I took a decent looking picture. Also what in the world do I do with the packets of pictures I get every year? I get to share....

Now imagine I have seven years of photos like this. The only thing it reminds me of is that I get older every year. Blah!

Also I ask that you say a prayer for my Dad, he is going in for radiation treatment Thursday afternoon.

I feel like a child

I went to the Urgent Care place tonight. My ears were bothering me. My right ear kept making odd popping sounds all day and my left one just hurt. I knew that I had an ear infection. I wasn't prepared for having a double ear infection.

The doctor was amazed because she has never seen an ear infection in an adult. She only sees them in children. So yup my ears never grew up. It also appears that my left ear with the tube in it seems to have ruptured. It sounds scary, but I don't feel anything. The doctor just said that it looked black around the tube. Which only means that the dang thing tried to launch itself out of my ear and it did not succeed. Good thing for me, because I would have to go and get another tube put in.

I then went to Walmart to get my prescription filled and they proceeded to tell me that I do not have prescription coverage and had to pay full price for my meds. Instead of arguing with the dang technicians, she said I could have my prescription back and go to Meijer because it is free there. Well lets see...pay 22 dollars or nothing. Hmmmm...I choose nothing. I love Meijer! So now I have my horse pills and I am ready for bed. Nothing better than that!

Happy First Day of Fall!

My students were being thoughtful and making me leaf shiskabobs. Basically they take a stick and run around the playground picking up the leaves that have fallen from the trees and poke them through onto the stick. I must have had 3 or so in my hands within the first five minutes of recess duty. Well the next 10 minutes I spent itching my nose and sneezing. So I think that I am allergic to leaves, or it could be the Plymouth air because I swear there is something in that town that I am allergic to. So happy first day of fall to me!
