Spring has Sprung
Spring Break found me on the couch with Kleenexes for friends. All of my plans for morning and afternoon classes at the gym along with the extra runs all gone in a sneeze, cough, and fever. My counseling class is now in its third, maybe fourth week. I have to admit that I never thought I would have to look at those APA style books again, but listening in Mr. Parker’s class must have paid off because I pulled to perfect 100%… so far. =)
Days are just flying by. My 5K training group is going beautifully. Luke and I clocked 2.5 miles on Saturday. My wall flew up at the 2 but Luke talked me the rest of the way in. (He has found a topic that keeps me totally distracted from the mileage and that is future dream vacations to the Greece, Walt Disney World, Alaska.. Oh yes, the list goes on and on, however when we google some options and see the price tag… the lists mysteriously shorten back down to camping in Tennessee. =)
The house is coming along. Almost all of the bricks are on and the shingles. Inside is sheet-rocked and the wood floors should be next. I’m so glad that we are working through a contractor, otherwise, the stress would be unimaginable. We are going to Nashville for Easter, I can’t wait to catch up with Katy and Buster and Little Lady. ** I do need to give Luke his sweetheart dues: In one of the pictures in the gallery, there is evidence of Luke washing the dishes in front of the flowers that he delivered to school for me. (The kids were very confused as to why Mrs. Hough would be getting flowers on a day that was not her birthday or anniversary)
This is the third week for SAT testing at Heritage. The kids haven’t been taking it for three weeks but I have been looking at them and counting them, recounting them, and re counting them for three weeks. It will all end next Tuesday. Hurah!
Oh, a new thing for us is torando sirens. Thursday night’s tornado warnings alerted us to their roaring, screaming presence. And, yes, my hair is super short now. I’m sure Katy is making fun of me but it is so much easier! Although, when I see ponytails, I get really envious.
