I tried to send a video to my blog from my iphone. It didn't work :(

Jonas loves his new phone!

Mother's Day Weekend

Jonas threw up for the first time yesterday. I hope it wasn't anything serious. He did have an appetite this morning. I feel like I have a sinus infection. Great start to the weekend.

I'm getting ready to go to the mall to have some alone time. Retail therapy. I hope that helps. I feel fat so I'm going to buy myself a cute shirt.

We are going out to Melting Pot tonight for Melinda's birthday. Yum. We were going to go to howl at the moon after but Kat may be bailing and Jonas got sick. I don't think I should have him around Carlee's kids if he isn't feeling well. It is nice of Melinda to be so understanding.

Yard Sale

Am I crazy? I'm going to participate in the community yard sale tomorrow. Even though Brett is out of town. This should be interesting. Taking care of a small child and selling our stuff. Thank goodness for the DVD player.

I feel like I have asthma. I've had a very difficult time catching my breath and I keep coughing. I feel worse at night so that is why I didn't go to the doctor the past few days. It's hard to go complain about something when you don't feel that bad. I hope it is better tonight.

My guitar hero

Florida

We are going to the pediatrician today for his 18 month check up. I hope they tell me he just has a cold. I am glad that it also means no shots today.

Brett got the order to get his house ready to sell so it looks like Florida might be definite. Polk county has a hiring freeze and the other counties don't have their available positions up yet. Maybe I should go down there and start a private music lesson business instead of teaching. I don't know how that will work out with Brett's new job pay plan.

I have a headache thinking of everything that needs to get done to try to sell this house. I guess I should start a to do list and every weekend we can aim for one or two items.

The garden

7 more weeks

School will be out soon. I just have to keep telling myself that. My concert is over and I have decided to show the video to the classes next week so that I don't have to write several lesson plans. EOGs are in two weeks then we have field day. I feel like I'm in the home stretch.

I planted a garden and most everything is growing. I can't wait to partake in all the fresh veggies. The only things that didn't make it are the strawberries and the asparagus but I hear that they don't do much the first year.

Brett might be moving to Florida. If everything works out well there, I'll be joining him. Sad that I'll be giving up my new garden and fruit trees but I guess I can always start a new garden.

Jonas goes to the Dr. on Monday and I go on Tuesday. Maybe I'll get to make the gender appointment soon.

Blah

I don't feel well. I guess there is more of this to come.

I can't decide if I want to keep reading my series or if I want to move on to another. I saw that Twilight is now a graphic novel. I almost bought it. I don't know why I didn't. At our staff meeting, our principal said that reading will be obsolete in the year 2050. I don't know where she is getting her facts from since I will still be alive and reading. But it is a scary thought. I'm raising Jonas for jobs that don't even exist. I hope there will still be musicians. Or will they be obsolete as well?

I'm pregnant!!!

I guess I can blog about it because my four followers already know. I'm 6.5 weeks along and already starting to not fit into my pants. How sad. I feel fine other than that. My ultrasound is on the 30th...I can't wait.

Jonas is doing well. He says high five, thank you, and a lot of little everyday words like this and that. What a cutie!

Hat Day

Snow Day

I'm so happy that I didn't have to go to school today.

I like getting to hang out with Jonas for an extended weekend. I had Monday off three weeks in a row. I wish I could work a 3 or 4 day work week.

Bike

Brett got a stationary bike today. We put it in front of the tv. Lets just see how long this lasts. I'm looking forward to my day off tomorrow. I think we'll go to the library and Aunt Courtney's. Jonas wants to say hi:

Work

I don't understand why someone else would set the date for the black history month concert without asking me first. I feel like coming up for some excuse for not being there just to protest. Anyone have any ideas or want to make plans for a Tuesday night? I didn't even want to do it at night. I much prefer concerts during the day when the entire school is involved.

Jonas keeps calling me dad. I can't even get him to say Mama anymore. He is saying hi, bye, nite-nite, cheerios, Kippy, yeah, and yep. I forgive him because I've heard him say mom before.

I'm thinking of going to a concert tonight. One of my college friends is in town (Gabe) and I should go say hi. Then I have another concert tomorrow for the scare troupe. I hope I get enough sleep.

Still Here

still reading... I'm on Book 9 Jonas wants to say hi:

Playing

Reading...

So far, so good with the resolution. I've been frantically reading the past few weeks. The Anita Blake series (16 books) is occupying all of my free time. I even put the jewelry making on hold so that I could get through the series. I'm on book 6. Love Kindle for iPhone!!!

New Year!

I think my resolution will be to run or walk a mile each day (or two every other day). Lets see how long that will last.

Ahhh

The start

I forgot to mention that I made these out of violin strings.

SAHM

I'm trying to find something that will make me money so that I can stay at home. The newest idea is to make jewelry. Today, I've made two bracelets and a ring. I need to make more until I can have enough to start a website on Esty. Then I'll get business cards and I'll be on my way. Wish me luck!

More knitting

I guess I made a scarf.

Knitting!

Don't ask me what I'm making. I don't even know myself.

Back to Work

I managed to get a cold...again. So I stayed home today. It worked out well for me because I got to skip my two worst classes and the faculty meeting.

I wish I could see New Moon this weekend but I guess I'll have to wait. I am touring homes this weekend. I guess just to get my hopes up since we are not ready to move. But its nice to dream.

Jonas had a pretty good day today. He took both naps, was only fussy for a few hours after the second nap, and went with me to Target. I can't wait to be a stay at home mom. It would be nice to spend more time with him.

Sleep

Why didn't I sleep train earlier? I think my life has improved so much since Jonas quit waking up in the night. I now have all this free time to sit at the computer and blog. Or surf the internet.

Alone for a week

Brett is going to Florida for a week. Jonas and I will be alone all
week. I guess we'll be going to target alot.

I can't believe my weekend is already over. I'll be throwing the
winter concert together since this is my last full week for
rehearsals. I hope they pull it together for me. I can't wait till it
is over but then again I'll just have the next concert to work on. It
never ends.

We went house hunting today. I found a few that look promising. One
had an unfinished basement and overlooked the golf corse. The backyard
is a huge hill. I don't know if I like that. I think the one from the
other day with the lake view is still on my list. It's nice to dream.

Sick...Again?

Am I really getting sick again? My throat is raw and red. Blah

I feel like it is a Monday even though tomorrow is Friday. I'm not a fan of having the middle of the week off. It is too disorientating. I guess it is better than nothing.

I fell in and out of love with a house in Highland Creek today. It is out of our price range and we aren't ready to buy yet.

Jonas is teething and really needy. He must not be feeling well like me. I hope he isn't sick.

All Hail the TV

One year check up :(

Too Fast for Me

Teething

Behavior

Two of my best classes just acted out today. Oh well. I always wonder
if it's me when that happens. Am I the one having a bad day? I guess
I didn't make them break my rules.

Jonas had a bad day yesterday. I picked him up early to go to his one
year appointment. So he didn't get his afternoon nap. Then he had to
get four shots and have blood drawn. Poor thing. His numbers are good
though. He is 22lbs 8oz in the 45%. He is 30.5in in the 75th for
height and he still has a big head in the 97%. Ha.

We did get to go to target and spend some money so it wasn't all bad.
I hope he has a better day today. We might go paint some pottery after
school. I'll see if he is up for it when I pick him up.

So off of Courtney's recommendation, I am going to read the Hunger
Games. I hope it is as good as Twilight. I need a good book.

Ahhh...

I can relax again.

Party is over, company is gone, so I can get back to my normal
schedule. I have the one year drs appointment in a few hours. His
pictures are also this weekend since the weather has not been agreeing
with us lately. I didn't take a single picture with my phone lately so
that is why I have not been blogging. Now that I'm back to normal, I
may be posting again.

Jonas is walking a lot better and he is talking up a storm. My little
man is growing up :)

Sick boys

Both of my men were sick this weekend. I think that Jonas' fever is gone. He still has a cough and is a little more fussy than usual but that could be because he slept in. I can't seem to get him to nap right now.

Brett is going to build us a patio this week. I think it is going to be nice. I am waiting for Lowes to deliver the materials. Then I think I'm going to go grocery shopping for the first time with Jonas and no Brett. Wish me luck.

I don't feel well

Boots

Walking

Jonas learned how to walk this weekend during the Gator game. He would start at the chaise lounge and then walk/ fall into me. He only took about three steps before he would fall into my arms. So the next day, I took him to Target to practice and he walked halfway down the toy isle. He also walked the length of the bonus room once we got home. He has been doing it on and off ever since.

Last night he slept through the night. As always, I know that that was a fluke. Maybe his teething is done for the moment. I have also switched one of his feedings over to whole milk. Maybe that is more filling for him. Libbi's kid is sick so I hope he doesn't end up catching it.

I think I'm going to take Friday, his birthday, off from school. I figured he only turns one once. We are going to go to the Renaissance Festival on Saturday and maybe the hot air balloon fest on Sunday. I also planned where we will be Trick or Treating. I want to go to Masters Hill in Highland Creek (the nice homes) or a few homes in Olmstead. I could be wrong, but I figured the nicer homes may have better candy...ha!

Last night

Waiting

Since I have to stand in this really long line for makeup, I figured I
better do something to pass the time. I think I'm alergic to the
burlap that the monster in front of me is wearing. I keep sneezing.

So this may be my last night. I'm not quite sure how I am going to
quit. I depends on how the night goes. I'm pretty tired already so if
I can't scare anyone, I'll just go home.

Jonas was in a great mood before I left so I hope he stays that way
for the rest of the night.

Time for bed

I guess I can't do it all. I think I'm going to give up scarowinds.
Friday was a very long day. 5:30am till 1:00am. I am not able to sleep
in. Once Jonas is awake, I'm awake. Saturday night, I was too tired to
scare anyone. I still had fun. I also realized that I'd be missing
out on trick or treating with Jonas.

So I am going to do it Friday night. I may also work Saturday but I am
going to quit after that.

Time to catch up on sleep.

Mom

Mom's in town. We went out to dinner last night. Jonas had a good
night. Though he was up at 5:30.

The new art teacher started this week. I like her much better than the
old one. Her daughter is in college. She doesn't look like she should
have a daughter in college. I just hope the kids don't run her off.

I can't believe that it is already Thursday. And October. The weather
has been so cool. I love fall!

Tuba

Mom's coming

She will be here tomorrow through next week. I'm looking forward to seeing her.

Scarowinds was pretty wet this weekend but at least they sent us home early. We went to Carowinds on Sunday. Jonas got to ride on the carousel. That was about all he could do. He did get a free pumpkin.

Yesterday was a teacher workday. I got everything done except my lesson plans, the only thing I went there to do. I was pretty productive other than that. I even got caught up on sleep.

Today was a good day at school. The kids are very excited about getting their recorders. We'll see how long that lasts.

Time to go hang out with my men.
