Lent

I am not Catholic anymore but there is one of the Catholic traditions that I continue. I celebrate Lent. Each year I give up something for the 40 days before Easter. This year it is burgers, fries, and soda. Some people in my circle doubt that I can do this. They are so silly. Hello, I make it through every year!

I encourage all of you to give up something to show some sort of sacrifice in your life to celebrate the sacrifice Jesus made for each of us. It makes you a better person and stronger. I totally recommend it. I also recommend sleep. I will now go do that myself.

Seeing it was Fat Tuesday, I ate a burger, large fries, and Coke for dinner. 40 days will be a challenge but I am totally in!

Alive

Hi.

My mom and sister are hilarious. They were very worried about me when I did not call back fast enough and even were calling the hospitals in my area to see if I was in one of them. Funny...I am okay. I haven't gotten back my ultrasound results so I don't know anything. This is why I had not called. I guess I didn't have any news. Bad Alice for not calling back. Sorry mom!

Not much else on this end. It is official, basketball season is over for me. I am glad. It is weird though. It went fast. We lost our last game. Bummer.

Well, I better get to bed and sleep. It makes me less cranky. Weekends are not nearly long enough!

Sick Day....AGAIN!

I think this pretty much sums up how I feel
Drinking out of a straw makes me feel better, who knows why?

Today I stayed home from work. I went home early from meetings yesterday to sleep because I felt horrible. I slept for four hours and then just felt icky, so I got myself out of bed long enough to buy some 7UP and crackers and Imodium AD in hopes that I would feel better before school today. I did feel better this morning but my bowels didn't want me to go to school! Sorry if this is all too much info. I also vomited at 2am and I have not done that since I was a teenager. I have also been having some pain in my upper right abdomen, so I decided to see my doctor today. He had some blood drawn and I have an ultrasound tomorrow morning to see if I may have gallstones. Good times.

I pretty much slept lots today and went to the doctor. I also did laundry because I needed too. Luckily, by the afternoon I was feeling semi-ok.

Tomorrow is Parent-Teacher Conferences so I did some grading tonight to prepare for that. These things come so fast!

The only real food (besides the liquids and crackers) I could get myself to eat today was a grilled cheese sandwich. Too bad I burned it so bad. I guess that pretty much sums up the whole experience of the day!

Sickly and Stuff.

Today I started off by feeling achy. My belly has been hurting these days. I count it as stress but I think it is also time to go to the doctor. I realized today that I have been sick quite a lot this year. And to get a little personal, I have had the diarrhea (cha cha cha-I cannot say diarrhea without the cha cha cha, sorry!) more than ever and that concerns me a little. The plan is to hit the walk-in after work tomorrow. Thrilling.

What else? I don't have much else. I left way early today. I was in my bed at 3pm and slept until 6. Now I am going back to bed at ten. GO me. I just want to feel better!

Ta Da-Looks like we will not have to play in the basketball tournament. I am strangely happy about this!

Fun Times!

Just a quick post. I spent a lot of time up in Sandy with the Bills this weekend. It was fun to see all the kiddos. Sometimes I wish I would actually take more pictures. I do very well with kid pics but sometimes forget to take pictures of the grown-ups. SIGH...oh well. Enjoy the pics of Alexa-it was nice to visit with her and her mom, Alyssa today(Alyssa was a teacher at my school last year.) I also love little Spencer. He is my kind of kid. He seems happy all the time(I know Morgan, he probably isn't happy all the time!) He sure had a fun time today with this red balloon. I laughed and laughed at him.

I am not excited to go back to work. I know, I know...I am thankful I have a job! :)
