I went back to work today! So glad to be back, but wow did I have trouble making it through the second half! I think I'm going to bed soon. I think I have all of my tutoring info graded and ready to be turned in tomorrow. I just need to recheck tomorrow. About it here... Have a great night!

Politics...
I have to admit, I'm terrible about following politics. I wait until an election year to pay attention. There's just so much propaganda, I never know what to think.
Since this is an election year, I've started surfing the internet for info. I need a more efficient way to keep up with everything. I found this article helpful: http://www.tecca.com/columns/how-to-follow-politics-online-computing-everywhere/
On it, I found these websites helpful:
U.S. House of Representatives http://www.house.gov/
U.S. Senate http://senate.gov/
Supreme Court of the U.S. http://www.supremecourt.gov/
The White House http://www.whitehouse.gov/
FactCheck.org http://www.factcheck.org/
PolitiFact http://www.politifact.com/

Now that I've admitted that I'm terrible at it, what can I do about it? I do have an interest in following politics. Is there anything else I can be doing to become more involved? Advice, comments, emails, etc. are welcome!
Thanks!
Sick
I have not been this sick in a long time. I think the last time I was this sick was when I was student teaching and got infected with the lovely H1N1. I felt fine Friday during the day. It wasn't until that evening that I started sneezing and my sinuses become congested. Now I can't breathe through my nose, I can't hear, my nose is sore from blowing/running, my ribs hurt from coughing, and my head hurts from sinus headaches. Yes, I think I'm falling to pieces! My poor kids wanted to play outside all weekend, but I wouldn't let them because Shawn was at work and all I could do was nap on the couch. They watched a lot of Disney movies while making fun of my snoring. I heard, "Wow, mom! You really snored loud! I've never heard anyone snore that loud!" Gee thanks kids! I can't help it I snore like a freight train when I can't breathe through my nose. I missed work yesterday and went to the express med clinic. It wasn't very express, though. I had to wait over and hour to see someone. She was very nice, but she wrote me a note for work and told me to stay home today too. I told her I needed to work with my students this close to ISTEP. She told me, tough. She said I needed to have antibiotics in me 24 hours before going back. 1, because I am contagious until then and 2, because I won't feel any better until then. She said if I push myself, I will be back in to see her by the end of the week.
I got up this morning and tried to get going, but I just couldn't do it. I wish the Dr. wasn't right. I really wanted to go back to work today. I cried about it this morning! I am not the kind of person that likes to take time off. I usually push myself and work through it. This stinks!
We dropped the kids off at school and I got my tutoring papers ready to go for my sub. My boss told me to stay away from her, that she didn't want it. She said she had it really bad a few years ago and didn't want it like that again. She told me not to come back tomorrow if I'm no better. I will be better! I will be back at work tomorrow no matter what!
Shawn just said that I'm trying to get my husband sick. He's had it mildly this weekend/week. I told him round 1 was mild for me too (over a week ago), its round 2 that put me down.
Goodnight! A nap is calling my name!

Blech!
This cold really stinks! I feel terrible. I haven't done much today. Laundry and sleeping.
I miss baby a lot tonight. I should be 17 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I should have a baby belly now. Sorry! I'll be fine.
Back to work tomorrow!
Night all!

Achooooo!
Gah! My poor nose needs a vacation. I had a cold over a week ago. It wasn't terrible and it went away after a few days. Unfortunately, round 2 started last night. I was sneezing before I went to bed and now I feel like I stepped in front of a bus. Yuck! This was my post on Facebook: Whoever made me sick, you can take it back now. I know you were taught to share, but I really don't want it. Thank you anyway! Do you think they will take it back?
On a better note, I got my hair done this morning. I needed a change. I was my natural color for over a year, so I felt like something new. I cut 7 inches off, did some layers, and got highlights. I got blond and red highlights. The red ones are harder to see under certain lights. I can't get over how light my head feels now! Better watch what I say, Shawn will call me an airhead. Ha! I didn't get any of the crazy colors that are in style right now. No blue for me. I'm so picky! I also didn't get the top lightened and left the underneath dark. I don't care for that either. I'll post pics in a bit. The kids like my hair. They say it makes me look "prettier". Abby added that I'm always pretty. Haha!
I also lay in the tanning bed yesterday afternoon. I usually start in March and lay through April to get a tan going. If not, I'm as white as a ghost and will burn really bad when we finally have warmer weather again. I lay the full 12 minutes in a 12 minute bed. I have a little red on my belly and back, but nothing too bad.
My wonderful amazing husband is bringing home Subway for supper. I feel so awful I didn't want to get out of bed to fix anything. He is the most amazing person when I am sick. I am so thankful to have him! He definitely takes care of me! I'd be lost without him!
I plan on posting pics later tonight, so check back soon!

Is there some secret???
That slows things down? I can't keep up! Life is just flying by! I can't believe this is Sunday afternoon. The weekend just started... Didn't it?!?!? Although its been very busy, life has been great. I managed to post pics of Zac and Abby's birthday party. We practiced some baseball today. It might only be February and 37°, but its sunny! Abby had cheer camp yesterday. The girls cheered between the JV and V games. As you can see, she gets mesmerized by cheerleading. Unfortunately, I wasn't close enough to get good pics. :-( It was my first Delphi game. Sadly, they lost to Pioneer. We need to go to more games. After all, I do teach at the elementary school.... Enjoy!!!!!!
My Awesome Batter!
My Cute Pitcher!
My Adorable Ball Girl!
My Risky Kitty???
My Cheerleader!
My Mesmerized Cheerleader!

Take Care! Sorry its been so long!!!
