This week in review

I posted before the week started about my busy week, so thought I'd update on how it went. And I do have tons of photos to add, but it's not going to happen tonight. So enjoy just my words, and photos will come later this weekend.

School - had a pretty good week, and we're one week closer to the end! field day today - this year it was called kid karnival instead, and was one of the more enjoyable ones. i even went down the inflatable slide with the kids. the only downside was the 94 degrees and the fact that i was fighting off a fever and aches still

Birthday - had a good birthday! got some great gifts from the fam, and luke picked out most of my gifts, including several great pieces of jewelry. he shops with me so much, he knows what i love! also got a heart necklace from james avery. love it. was surprised with a dozen yellow roses delivered to school, and then we all went to austin wednesday night to eat at cheesecake factory. good times. thanks for all the cards, gifts, and messages! 

Kids - they are doing well. mia never ended up sick after having a fever sunday thankfully. luke seemed to enjoy his kid karnival day a lot today too!

Sick - last night was rough. i started to feel bad, then ended up with a fever and severe chills. marc wasn't around (in san antonio) to help with the kids, so i was thankful that they went to bed early for me! i went to bed with 3 covers and a heating pad, still shaking. then woke up an hour later sweating so badly and couldn't stop for an hour! today i was surprised to feel ok most of the day. it helped i was outside in fresh air and kept busy. tonight the fever is back, but not nearly as bad as last night. needs to just go away and not come back!

Rain - the skin care place i'd been going to had a one year anniversary open house tonight. i went with luke at 4 and got a great deal on 2 packages - well, it still cost a lot, but i got a whole package free so that is a good deal! they were doing door prizes all night. as i was paying, the lady next to me won a giant starbucks gift basket- coffee, mugs, chocolate espresso beans, truffles, a starbucks cd -and she asked if i wanted everything but the mugs because she doesn't like coffee! that made my day. about an hour later i got a call from Rain, and i had won the diamond hoop earrings they had as their "grand prize"! i couldn't believe it -they are gorgeous, and looked really great with my dirty trimmier t shirt, sunburned face, and pig tails from today. i loaded the kids up in their pjs just to go back and pick them up tonight. everyone was envious and it was quite a production when i got them. will be sure to post a photo. someone commented on my facebook just now that maybe i should go play the lotto with my luck today!

brenda - unfortunately, her swine flu days ended early. we were so disappointed she wasn't coming but in the end, i had a staff meeting until after 4:30, another meeting at school at 6:00, then was sick, so probably good they couldn't make it as i may not have even seen them!

tomorrow if the book warehouse sale, and looking forward to meeting up with friends there. my aide/friend michelle offered to keep the kids, and they scored a trip to the zoo out of this deal with her, so everyone comes out happy (well, except for maybe michelle , at the zoo with 4 kids!)

sorry so long - it's been a long, eventful week. if anyone is still reading this, check back this weekend for photos.
