I am trying to take a math class at VC but since it has been awhile and at another college, I need to take the placement test. I’m kinda nervous. Wow, I will be embarassed if I screw up and only get into Math 1…hee hee. I don’t think I’ll do that bad!

Some of you are wondering about Christians pee test…well, keep wondering. We got a letter in the mail from the lab (that Jared assures me is a generic form letter) that says, “You may be at risk for forming kidney stones. Contact your doctor to decide how to prevent them.” So, I haven’t heard from the doctor but this ominous letterfrom the LAB…everyone knows the lab isn’t supposed to contact you with any information. So, I guess this isn’t information, literally. But now I’m on the phone with the Dr.s office, they are clueless and have not gotten anything. Argh! Now I wait some more. I will be calling Friday if I don’t hear tomorrow.

Today I went on a field trip with Christian. The best part for me was the 45 minutes I had before the field trip to run an errand and get coffee while everyone went to school. Now, mind you, I am enjoying teaching but I must say it was a sweet 45 minutes of remembrance of last year when things were not as they are now. I do miss those morning tennis lessons immensely. Oh, that reminds me, I must go register for my tennis class at VC. Ta ta.

for this.

Riley had to go get his 5 year physical today. I had a talk with him last night and gave him a bit of a warning about the shots. I even had Christian tell him not to worry and that it would only hurt for a minute, being as he’s had plenty of needle expereience. Riley seemed mildly interested but quickly went on to other things. So after school we went to the doctor and got all the basic things out of the way. Then the nurse came in and had me hold him in a hug and hold his arm. She jammed the first shot in…he didn’t even flinch. She grabbed the second and jammed it in. Again, nothing. She wiped off the spot and I pulled away to look at his face. Ready to be the consoling mother that I am, I pulled him back to look at his pain wrenched face. He was smiling at me. I was dumdfounded. “Did it hurt,”I say. “Nope, not even a little,” he says. They gave him a big candy cane full of chocolate kisses for being so brave. My tough little cookie. Good Job, Riley.

is getting harder. I guess I better study a little more than just the night before.

Check out this story…all you who are pining to own a home. This could be your chance. You may have to register to read it. I think the drawing is this week.

This is so good. Hopefully you think so, too!
