Oops

I can already tell I'm going to be a bad blogger...I got sick and down and completely forgot to blog! I checked other peoples before bed but just didn't update my own little site. So yeah I had mono and strep...it sucked and made me down which led to lots of tears and anxiety. I'm not proud to admit that but now that I feel better I don't really care that I'm a terrible patient or that my husband probably wanted to run away. Work has really picked up...it picked up while I was sick but I didn't care then :-) It took my energy to go from my truck to the campus--let alone check on the actual students. Now that I feel better I'm playing major catch up...but at least I have plenty to do. Nothing much is going on outside of work...we've hung out at the house, played out at the lake, spent time with family---you know the norms. I have to throw Lacey's baby shower this week and then Trisha's at the end of October...I'm excited about the babies and happy for my friends....they will all make terrific mommies!!!! Okay well thats all I have so until next time.

Uphill Climb

So I went Friday and sat at the MediCenter FOREVER to get my five minutes in the nurse practioners chair where she told me ever so matter of factly---its either mono or strep---maybe both but the treatments the same so heres your antibiotic and get some rest and drink cold water. I went to WalMart to fill my prescription and the line was down past the toy aisles---I had to tell myself not to cry I had other options. So I walked and decided to try WalGreens...got down there dropped off the prescription and realized I couldnt find my insurance card---called the medicenter---yep they had it. So I did the back and forth drive to get the card and back for the prescription. I came home ate two bite of a sandwich--took my meds and watched a movie.. Saturday Shaun had continued ed so I slept in till 10---which I never do. Arond 12:30 I went to WalMart because there is NO food in our house and I think Shaun has put up with enough this week. I was competely exhausted after grocery shopping--it took a lot out of me. By the time Shaun got home at 5 I was going stir crazy---between being home and exhausted all week and the 3 days of rain (not complaining God we love rain) I couldnt stand my couch anymore. I went to town by myself because Shaun wouldnt go and tried finding my mom a birthday present---she'll be 50 on Tuesday (I didnt say that). So I got that done got some Francos and came home and watched a movie called the Women...its okay I guess. Hopefully today we can go to Lacey and Blair's for a football get together---not a Cowboy fan just want out of my house and then of course its Sunday night dinner---thrilled about it because I look forward to it all week. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Still no bueno

So I still feel sick. I have a sore throat and fever but I still went to work today hoping I could go to the Dr. later. Well every Dr I called doesn't work on Fridays---hmmmm guess people don't get sick those days. So I called the MediCenters and they all have about a 5 hours wait---yea so I can go sit with more sick people! So I'm going to hope and pray that at 3:45 when I leave work it's not so bad---please send good thoughts---I know I'm not that sick I just want some antibiotics to get me over this faster...I'm not a good sick person. Shaun has been so patient but I know he will only tolerate this for so long before he tells me to suck it up! Okay well I'll let you know how it goes :-)

Well Crapola

I feel like crap. I'm overly emotional, my stomach is bothering me, and I just have no energy. Don't ever type those symptoms into google because you are either pregnant or dying---I don't want to be either. I just want to feel better...I want to stop feeling like I want to cry. I just needed to vent for a minute---thanks!

Lazy Day

I am already slacking on posts and its only my second one!!! I had a really crummy day at work on Friday so I'm going to use that as my excuse. Sometimes I find my job really difficult to handle mentally. I love the kids and I love the reward of working with a student who has always struggled...but sometimes there are aspects that make my jaw drop and my heart stop. I had one of those days Friday. Which makes me ever so thankful for this long weekend :-0 Shaun is on call this weekend and has been working non-stop since 8am. Since its now 9:30pm I sure he is in a wonderfully chipper mood and will come home just skipping. We did get to meet and have dinner but he got called right in the middle and I just saw the life drain out of his face! I did however get to spend time with Kadryn and her fabulous little girls today! She is in town so of course I had to go get some baby time in and see how wild Kyz has gotten. Kaibree is 7 months now and has gotten so big...she sits up, crawls, and pulls her self up with a little help. She laughs and the sound is amazing and heart warming. Kyz has become fascinated with makeup and dress up! She is so funny. I'm sure tomorrow will be the same for poor Shaun but I will be doing laundry and cleaning house. If I get all that done tomorrow I can enjoy my hair appointment Monday and relax before having to go back to work!

Because everyone has a first time

I have read several of my friends posts each day but have never had the time to start my own. So I decided that while watching Greys rereuns tonight that I would learn how to do this. I have enjoyed reading about my friends families and just the short updates people do every day. I dont know that I can do this everyday but hey I can always try. If you have found this its probably because you know me but if not my name is Kayla and I am married to my high school sweetheart Shaun. We met at a church camp floating the Frio river and have been friends-boy/girlfriend-and husband wife since. That was 11 years ago...seems crazy since I'm only 25 but I wouldnt trade my life with Shaun for anything. Heres the low down on our life:

* We bought a house a year and half ago in Grape Creek because thats where our parent live...we love having a huge yard and no close neighbors.

* We have three dogs-Harm, Hoss, and Tatum. We have a cat named Weasel who rules the roost. They are better than children to us because we spoil them rotten.

*I am extremely close to my family

*I am a Behavior Intervention Specialist. This is my fourth year working with emotionally disturbed students and I truly love my job and I feel called to work with difficult students. I just finished my first masters degree and am currently working on my second. Shaun is a plumber and has been for forever.

*I have an AMAZING group of friends who make me realize everyday how lucky I am and I thank God everyday for them. Trisha and Caroline are both expecting babies soon so I am slowly becoming that only lady without kids :-) I already have two neices--Kyzrie and Kaibree who are fabulous and wonderful.

*I do NOT like drama and it makes me sick to my stomach when people drag me into their issues. I dislike ignorant people who refuse to educate themselves and act stupid. I do not believe people should marry because they are having a baby, nor do I feel that people should stay together because of children. Kids are more messed up from hearing their parents argue everyday than having divorced parents. I think people should try to achieve all that they can and quit depending on others to do everything for them. Our society has become more about getting than earning---that needs to change.

This has been more than enough!!! Sorry for the long overwhelming overview!!!
