My X-rays...

I was going to drop in last Wednesday and let you know what happened with my x-ray. Well, he still feels like it is a bulging disc and a pinched nerve, but he saw some bone spurs on my spine. He showed me where they were on my back, but I do not hurt there...thank goodness. I go back this Wednesday and I think he is going to have me take some fish oil and calcium for my bones. That is where I stand with that and my pain is not as bad, but it is not gone either.
Today Josh and I went to Academy and I got some new tennis shoes (Saucony Cohesion 7)...I have tried on the more expensive shoes and other brands, but these fit my feet like a glove, I love them and I got some today for $39.95...not bad. I will attach a picture.

Then we went to Mardel to look for some borders for my classroom, but they did not have what I needed. So we came home. That is my day, I will be back tomorrow for my Meme, so be sure to drop by!! Have a nice week.

Tuesday 4 Meme!!

Toni has started a new meme called Tuesday 4 Meme. I wasn't going to post today, but this gives me a reason!! Yay!! Here we go

Tuesday 4 Meme

#01 Favorites, What's Yours?
1. Favorite Outfit To Wear: My favorite thing to wear is sweats or pj's...I have to dress nice for work, so I am always ready to wear something comfy.

2. Favorite Hair Color & Style: hmmm, I really like highlights in hair, I like all colors...fun hairdos. I think straight hair is pretty...probably because it is hard for me to wear since I have naturally curly hair and even if I straighten it, it usually ends up curly anyway. For myself specifically, I just put highlights over my natural hair color and it is brown.

3. Favorite Kind Of Shoes: tennis shoes

4. Favorite Way To Relax: watch baseball

That was fun Toni!! Thanks!!

Summer School

It was a quiet weekend, I went to see my parents for a few hours and we visited, but that is about it. Today was the first day of summer school at the preschool. I was a bit sad. Only one of my kids showed up today, but we had some phone calls and we can expect more kids tomorrow. I did get to work a lot with the one that showed up though and that is good. I guess it is a good way to start the week anyway. We were able to get some more cleaning done. We shall see what tomorrow holds. I had a meeting at the end of our day, which is at 11:00AM and then I headed to the chiropractor. I think I mentioned in my last post I had hurt my hip on Friday. Well the chiropractor looked me over and my hips were out of line again. He fixed me up, this time he took an x-ray. I am feeling a little better. I go back on Wednesday to see what he says about the x-rays and he will probably adjust me again. I work tomorrow, but not a lot going on, so I will be back on Wednesday to let you know what he says about the x-rays. Have a nice week. Can you believe it is June? **UPDATE** I see I did not post about hurting my hip. I was at the ATM and I leaned out to work the machine and my hip popped. It hurt a lot and I was in some pain all weekend. I am fixed up again though.

Maleficent

Today was Josh's last day of school. He went until 12:30 and I picked him up. We got the summer started by seeing Maleficent.

We loved it. I am a huge fan of fairy tales and to tell you the truth, I do not remember much from Sleeping Beauty other than Maleficent used to scare me to death. I enjoyed the back story of Maleficent and how the movie progressed. I do not want to say too much in case you want to see it. I think Josh is trying to make plans to go to my parent's house this weekend now. He never stays home. I did laundry today, but other than that the highlight was the movie. Have a great weekend. Here is a meme I found at Toni's who found it on Annie's blog: Annie's Meme 1. Do you recall your first date? Yes 2. What did you do? Where did you go? Did you have a good time? We went to dinner and a movie. It was an ok time. 3. Did you go out with the same person again or was that it? I think that was it. 4. Ever go on a blind date? How did that work out? I did go out on a blind date. We ended up dating for 2 years. 5. What was the best date experience ever? When I was in college I dated a guy that made a total fuss over me. We did not do anything out of the ordinary, but he always made me feel so special and treated me like a lady.

The Doctors...

Tuesday I went to see my doctor's. I saw my neurologist and that visit went fine, I had to have blood work done, so I was there for 2 hours. I love my doctor, he is awesome. I have seen him since I was 13. Next, I went to see my chiropractor about my hip/leg pain. He put me on his tables and adjusted me, but I was still having some pain. I went back today and he is thinking it is a pinched nerve/bulging disc. He put me on his roller table, adjusted me, then he did some acupuncture. I have never done that before. You cannot even feel it. I do not know if it helped or not, but we tried it. Then he put me on another table that stretches you out. That felt really good. Anyway, I go back on Monday. The chiropractor is the son of a lady that used to work with me. They are really good people. Tonight we went to dinner with Karl's family. It is his mom and dad's 50th Anniversary. It was nice. We went to a place called Buckingham's and it is Bar-b-que. It was really good. Tomorrow is the last day of school for Josh. He gets out at noon. I am taking him to see Maleficent with Angelina Jolie. That is the plan anyway. This school year went by really fast for me. I know he will be excited to be done.

Happy Memorial Day!!!

So....I have not posted since August. Wonderful. Well, I just want to say, I had a really good year at the preschool. My job can be a very hard job, but this year it was quite manageable. The kids were great and they learned a lot. The winter was crazy and we missed a lot of school. Maybe that is why my year seemed easier. It is over though. We had our last day of school on Wednesday and we did a work day on Thursday to get ready for Summer school. I am teaching summer school this summer for the first time ever. For whatever reason, I am so excited. I have washed the curtains and play rugs for the kids just as if it were the first day of school. We start June 2nd and end June 27th. Josh and I also plan to visit Oklahoma with my parents this summer in July. Tomorrow I go to the doctor...I have been having this pain in my hip and down my leg. I am seeing my chiropractor tomorrow to see if he can help me. Today we are anxiously awaiting the Cardinals/Yankees game. They are in rain delay as I type this. I saw a graphic posted this morning and I wanted to share it with Toni....so here it is

The Cardinals and Yankees very seldom get to play one another. It doesn't make any sense. They paid tribute to the World Series these two teams played 50 years ago and they also paid tribute to Yankees Derek Jeter...in his farewell year, he will be greeted in each stadium he plays in this year. The Cardinals gave some money to his charity and some cuff links with the likeness of Stan Musial (Cardinal Hall of Famer). The fans will go crazy for him.

Well anyway, it is Memorial Day. This day means a lot of things to me. It is the day we typically decorate the graves of those we have lost, but mostly it is the day we remember our Veterans that were lost fighting for our freedom. I do not know about you, but I am very thankful to live in a country where I am free. Thank-you Veterans! Whatever you are doing to observe this day, be safe and say a prayer for those who have defended us so bravely. Have a great day and Happy Memorial Day!!

San Antonio, TX 2013

Since I last posted I hurt my back. I think many of you know that my back does this every now and then. I have no idea what in the world I did, but it was hurting so bad. My cousin also passed away. So we went to the funeral in Oklahoma. This was the son of the Uncle (Joe) I talk about who was in the hospital when we were down in June. So we got to see some more family. I came back and went to the Chiropractor about my back because it was getting close to my San Antonio trip. I was still hurting when we left for San Antonio, TX...but I got better after about 2 days. We had some room issues, but I will skip that and go to the good stuff.

We went to The Alamo on Josh's birthday, then to eat at a little burger restaurant and that evening we went to The Riverwalk and had dinner. Josh is very into history, so this was an awesome day for him and me too. I love seeing historical places like this.

Day 2, we went to Sea World. We were able to catch all of the shows we wanted to see and ride some rides and see all of the exhibits. It is a wonderful place!! I love Sea animals, so it was a great day. We saw Pet's Ahoy, Cannery Row Caper, One Ocean, Azul, Sea Lions Tonight and Shamu Rocks. The whales were awesome to see. I loved all of the shows. Day 3, went to Schlitterbahn waterpark. It is absolutely huge. We did a lot of fun tubing rides and water rides, but you have to walk so far and wait so long everywhere you go. It was very fun though. We had pizza afterwards and went to bed. The last day we slept in a little and then went shopping at the Premium Outlet Malls. We got Josh some things and my sisters-in-law got some things. It was fun and we ate at Garcias Mexican restaurant. It was excellent. This picture is Josh and I at the Riverwalk

We drove home on Thursday. We left at 5AM and got home around 5:30PM. I did some laundry, went to bed and did the rest of the laundry yesterday. I also met with my bus driver yesterday to get things ready for school to start. I was hoping to get to lay out this weekend, but it is cool out and I am sure the water is cold. It has been raining the entire time we were gone. I will check it later, but I think it is too cold to swim. If so, I need to go to the preschool and get cubbies ready and names on the wall. Everything else I had taken care of before we left. We start meetings on Monday and kids start on Wednesday. This has been a very fun summer for Josh and I, so I hate to see it end. I am going to post a picture of our entire group that went to San Antonio.

From left to right is my sis-in-law Karla, her son Keifer, me, Josh and my sis-in-law Kayla. We had a great time. I cannot believe school starts back in just a couple of days and summer is over. I hope you all have a great August!!
