Reason #1 - The week before school started I got a call to be a long-term sub for a teacher who was having some medical problems. It was supposed to be the first 6 weeks of school possibly longer depending on the circumstances. I scrambled to get things ready and am still scrambling to get the hang of things! It is 3rd grade which is a great grade! I wouldn't want to go any higher but I do enjoy third. I recently found out there is a great possibility I'll be there all year. The teacher is going through chemo right now and won't finish the treatments until February. She won't be able to return until her immune system is built back up so chances are I'll be there all year. It's been a great, overwhelming, exciting and stressful experience! I couldn't give up DQ because when this job ends, I still need a job! I am still doing the schedule and working a few days a week. I'm so lucky to have a great crew and people who are willing to fill in different places for me. Not to mention the best boss who knows I'm trying to get my foot in the door for my career! So I've been super busy between both jobs.
Reason #2 - The house!! We started our house the middle of September. I don't have alot of things picked out so I am going to be really busy when it comes to getting everything picked out and making decisions. I have a few things picked out but the major stuff - not even close!
Reason #3 - Pregnant. Need I say more. I'm now 15 weeks and I have been extremely tired and am pretty nausieted during the day. It's more at night than morning so that is good with school. I have been sooooo tired I can't stand it! No matter how much sleep I get, I am still exhausted! I have been alot more emotional and onery but I contribute it to all the stress, not just the pregnancy. I am quite certain it is a boy. I feel identical to how I felt with Dav and I've had dreams about it being a boy. I eventually want a girl but I won't mind if this one is a boy. Davin needs a friend and if it's going to survive him, he better be tough!
Reason #4 - Trying to keep up on the mother/wife end of life. Davin is at such a fun, wild, mean, hilarious, crazy stage of life. I hate having to leave him to go to work but I try and do what I can when I get home. He is quite the child! He is a whole other post in itself! I have totally slacked on keeping up with the house. Luckily I have a husband that will dive into house work without a problem.
I know everyone else has crazy busy lives too, but there is the story of our crazy lives right now!
Here are a few pics of lately:
Brennen's little brother, Rylan, left for his mission a week ago.
He is going to Boise, Idaho. Funny huh? He'll be a great
missionary but we are going to miss him!
Dav and I went hunting with Brennen one night during
the spike elk hunt. I sat
on the four-wheeler and watched Dav play in the dirt
while Brennen did all the spotting. To bad there
wasn't anything to spot!
The house.
