Oh last week. I barely can remember you at this point!!
Monday I wore one of my favorite new shirts, and had a little exploration out to Family Dollar before teaching. I know, I live a really thrilling life. I didn't find anything super exciting but it's funny how being in a different store, that you've never been inside, in a different area than you shop in can make you feel like you're in a completely different town!
Tuesday was the first day of Spring and DQ's Free Ice Cream Day!! YAY! Sadly they didn't let me pick chocolate this year, but it was still delicious. And yes that is a sweater I am wearing because it was spankin cold here!
Tuesday evening I found out Jboz might be having her baby soon, and blessedly I did not have to drive her to the hospital and deliver the baby on the side of the road. Despite them sending her home that evening, I woke up many times to check my phone over night, and when I got up for good that morning I sent her a text asking if she took any trips over night. Perhaps to the hospital?
Yes, YES SHE DID!
I totally called it!!
Little Kohen James was here within less than 15 mins of his Momma texting me. Apparently epidurals are a gift from God :)
And my face was pretty much like this the entire first half of the day. I had some cancellations thanks to spring break so I was antsy for my students to leave so I could book it to the hospital to meet King James!
FINALLY!!!!
He was just so precious!!
White blonde hair just like his big brother! Slept in my arms the entire time, also reminiscent of Roman.
And I took tons of selfies because he's just so danged cute! Didn't bother him at all and he was so light I could have just held him with one arm the entire time. But he's a newborn and I am a Nervous Nellie so SAFETY FIRST PEOPLE!!
I finally needed to hand him over to Grandma Lisa so Auntie Cherrybear could go teach. Sadness. He did not like that! (Neither did I) and he started screaming his cute little head off.
Wednesday night I decided to finally start working on a craft project I had been wanting to do for awhile. One of my favorite verses, and it will hang in my living room.
Thursday I had some errands, which included the chiropractor, and getting my brother's christmas presents. He is so hard to shop for, so i am really excited to have already found what I did!
When I came back home I saw an ambulance, guess I missed all the excitement.
I was dressed comfy for the day, and for the first time ( well in public, hahah) my hair had a top knot going on.
I was impressed that I pulled it off. I guess I always thought top knots were for people with straight hair but my hair was driving me crazy that day and I just wanted it. OFF.MY.FACE. And as a bonus to this top knot situation, when my chiro adjusted me, my hair actually looked fine!
I wrapped my brother's christmas gifts. Now not to lose them!
And finished!Actually I still need to go over each letter one more time, but it's basically done!
Earlier in the week it was warm, and then Saturday it snowed. Of course. I was thankful that the snow shifted south and we didn't get the 8 inches they forecasted!
Especially since by Saturday I was having some tooth pain. Friday evening I bit into something and thought oh, that kind of hurt. But sometimes crunchy things do that to a certain tooth that has a crown. I didn't think much of it until i woke up saturday and my mouth hurt.
And then it just got worse and worse. By Sunday I was in terrible pain. My mouth was throbbing non stop and it was pain I couldn't get away from or work through. I live with a chronic illness and have pain pretty much everyday, but this pain was like nothing else. I want to say it was worse than my Sinus Surgery. It was BAD. I wanted to cry but I thought it would hurt even more if I did that! there were times I realized I was holding my breath because even breathing hurt. I barely ate Saturday afternoon to Sunday, Monday. Sunday night sleep was non existent. I moved to the couch so I could prop my head up higher. That didn't help. I used up the tube of Orajel that I forced myself to leave the house to get Sunday afternoon. Monday was terrible. Just terrible. To make matters worse I couldn't get into my Dentist until TUESDAY MORNING. So I had to suffer for an entire day longer while I waited to find out what the mess was wrong with me. But I digress. This blog post is just until Sunday, so you'll have to wait for next week's recap!
Before I was dying of pain, or rather praying for the Lord's second coming. (Seriously, I did. This is when you know I'm in over my head with pain, I start praying for him to come at that exact moment) I got exciting mail! This beautiful locket necklace is a holder for my fitness tracker! My flimsy bracelet broke for the second time and no super glue was going to save it. I didn't want to spend the money on a new bracelet, they are expensive and so cheaply made. So I went without using it for several weeks. Until I found this necklace set on ebay for 6.00. It came with the necklace, a bracelet, a clip for a shoe or something of the like and a brand new tracker!!!! Apparently the lady who sold it didn't know how to use it. I lucked out!!
I finally ate up the very last of my DQ ice cream cake, almost a month AFTER my birthday!
