Job search, Corban's butt and another cousin?!?!?!?

So, it continues.... I am keeping an eye on several websites that post openings and submitting my resume. Please keep us in your prayers.

Corban's boil medicine ran out and he still has the boil. I called the doc and they are called in another round of meds. The boils is much softer so I guess it is running its course.

Eric's sister Kaci and her husband have been trying for kids for a while (2yrs. or so) went to the doc the other day so see if there was anything "blocking" her. (She doesn't have a normal cycle at all.) The doc did an ultrasound to look and lo and behold there was a 3 week old baby in there!!!!!! They are so excited! Please keep them in your prayers too, we know how brutal that first trimester is.

Eric and I leave Thurs. for Gatlinburg my aunt and uncle have a cabin in a gated community in Severeville, (15min north of Gatlinburg) that we are going to say in. There is no phone or cell reception and no cable. Eric's parents and his brother Michael and his family will join us on Friday. Since Corban has 2 more cousins on the way and Christmas will be here before you know it Amanda and I plan on hitting up the outlets to get some good deals. So, I don't have to tell you there will be TONS of pics to post when I get back!

Here goes the food...

So the past couple of weeks I have been giving Corban cereal, in hopes that he would let me get one full night of sleep, yeah right. He wakes up to nurse at least twice during the night. Tonight he gets sweet potatoes, we shall see how that goes.... Also, I got a lead on a job today that would be awesome, it would not be teaching or coaching but it would be really good, so keep us in your prayers.

So, I lost my

job the other day...... At least I get paid through August something. It is nothing I can be mad about enrollment at school is low and since I had only been there 2 years I was low man on the totom pole. Honestly, I was not too suprised my headmaster had been acting kind-of distant the past month. I have put in an application at Kingwood. They have a history teacher not returning but at this point their enrollment level is too low to replace them just yet. Mrs. Pickett said she would give me a call and let me know if things change. So I guess I will take a few weeks and enjoy spending time with Corban. From there I don't really know where to go, just praying about things. Well I am off to get ready for a wedding!!!! I love wedddings, they make anyone grouch happy .

Quick update

Well, the school year is almost over and I will get to spend some time at home with Corban starting next week. I have 2 exams to give tomorrow and one to give on Friday and I am DONE for the year. Things have been a bit crazy at home. Aaron's wife Brittny is expecting and is due on Nov 14th. Eric and I and his family are going to Gatlinburg in a couple of weeks to visit his dad's dad. We are staying in my aunts cabin in the mtns. It has 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a full kitchen, laundy, living room and loft, which each of have pullout sofas. I can't wait to hit the outlet mall!!!!! Maybe I can go Friday with Amanda and Gail.

Corban update, I had to take him to the doctor yesterday to get a knot looked at...... turns out it is a boil, on his tooshie, right up against his poopooer. Let me tell you how much fun that is. It doesn't seem to be bothering him too bad but if you push on it he will flinch, they said the most painful part is when it drains. The doc perscribed an anti-biotic and said that if it doesn't get better they will have to send us to Children's Hospital to have it lanced. This weather has gotten both of us, I sound lke a man and Corban squeeks when he cries or laughs....

Corban's first Easter!

The finish line

is in sight! Only 2 weeks and 2 days of school left! This week I am having volleyball try-outs, not that I am going to cut. It is also teacher appreciation week, which means goodies of all kinds. One of my students gave me a hanging basket with some beautiful flowers. Tomorrow is our luncheon, last year it was greek, this year the theme is itallian. Things are as busy as usual Eric is the emcee again this year for the relay for life which is Fri. night. We always have fun so come and hang out with us if you dont have anything to do. It doesn't cost anything, unless you want to buy something. I get real emotional when they do the luminaria part. I have lost a grandmother to cancer and my aunt is still fighting it. What breaks my heart the most is the rememberance of the loss of an AWESOME teacher and friend, Andera Petras. I never would have passed algebra or chemistry with out her. I know she is singing in heaven, but Scrooge will never be the same......
