My church trip went fine. My nose ran like a river, but I did fine being out and about. I will head back to school tomorrow. I'm glad because I'm going to be out on Friday for a CAT team meeting and I'd hate to be out three days in a row.
Sarah bragged on how good Adam listened and learned in class tonight. They are learning about how to share. I teach Toddlers on Wed. nights in February.
When I got Adam after class tonight I asked Adam if Daddy had gotten him supper. He said, "No, I not eat at all." When I questioned Bucky he said he ate every last bite of a Happy Meal around 5. But get this, he ate two eggs when we got home. He must be growing.

Sick
I've been home sick from school today. I have bronchitis. After noticing some pain in my chest when I coughed on Monday, I felt tight in my chest yesterday and had some coughing. I could get into the doctor Tuesday afternoon. He diagnosed me and sent me home with meds. and cough syrup. I felt good when I initially got home, but after supper I went downhill. I developed a fever (it got up to 102.2) and I was achy all over. I went to bed for a while and about 7:30 I called Ms. Cindy to let her know I wouldn't be at school. I emailed plans to Amy and so that made me not have to go to school.
I have slept today. My fever has been up and down today, but in the last hour I have eaten some and have been vertical. I am trying to get my strength up. I have not made a decision about tomorrow. I will sometime tonight.
Bucky will pick up Adam and take him to church for Quench practice and then take him to his class. By some STRANGE chance, I may go to church. I really need to print off some things for praise team practice tomorrow and need to see some people. We'll see how it goes.

Monday Notes
When Adam saw tons of black birds in the sky as we were leaving daycare, he pointed them out to me. I asked him where he thought they were going and he said, "Get gas." :)
I went to the RC School Board Meeting tonight. I have been working on the CAT (Curriculum Alignment Team) Team to create a more up to date District Writing Policy. We've been working on it since late August and tonight it was presented at the meeting. It seemed to be well received and Mr. Pierce acknowledged our hard work.
While I was gone, Bucky was busy painting. How exciting! By the time I returned home, he had started and finished the dining room. I was only gone a little over an hour! It looks great--so happy and inviting. I took a picture of Buck with paintbrush in hand, but was instructed not to post it on the blog. Every party has a pooper...... Just kidding--I am so thankful for his work. I'm not sure when we'll do the living room. It may even be Friday or Saturday.

Super Saturday
Saturday was the first day of the Upward basketball season which means Bucky is at the church for a good portion of the day. Adam played here in the morning and then we went to church for the 12 o'clock game. He really enjoyed watching the first half, and then he played with some kids during the second half. They were quite a bit older (5-7) but he held his own and smiled the whole time. Bucky and I did some things at the church before we came home.
Adam took a long nap and so did I. I had told Sharon I would help her get ready for Nick's party at the Family Life Center, and she told me she would be there around 4:15. I woke up from my nap at 4:45! I quickly got ready and went on down. Bucky and Adam came later. Nick turns 13 on the 28th. HIs party was fun. They played ball, Guitar Hero, and had food and cake. Adam really didn't eat lunch so he ate lots of food--mostly junk--but he did eat some Party Dogs, as we call them. It's Lil Smokies wrapped up in crescent rolls. He wouldn't eat the bread, only the "hot dog" as he called it. It's unlike Adam to like meat like that. He was so cute in Megan's lap, eating his food and drinking his water from a bottle. He has practically mastered that!
Adam enjoyed playing carpetball with Ashton, Nick and Megan's kindergarten cousin. He did NOT want to leave. LeeAnn was there, too, so life was good.
It was a late night. We didn't get home until 10 or a little after. We went ahead and did a bath to help wear him out. It took Adam a while to wind down.
It's another big day at church for both of us. Adam actually has a date with my friend Roxann for tonight since we both have obligations. It takes a village to raise a child. Hopefully, we'll get to bed a little earlier.

Finally Friday
It's Friday. It was a short week at school and my kids are kind of in a funk. Not putting forth much effort. Hopefully the weekend will help. On a positive note, I got the chance to teach two paragrah lessons to one of our second grade classes this week. I had asked the teacher if she'd be interested in me sharing the information I use for 3rd-5th with her class. She was thrilled and I was, too. The kids did such a good job. One kid wrote about his dog Samson. He had a detail that Samson bites. When I asked him who he bites, he said, "Me!" It was hilarious.
We are off to Family Date Night. I don't know what that entails except for food, but it should be fun.
Get well wishes to Kim who is under the weather.

Thursday
Upward season starts Saturday and today Bucky did lots today in the Family Life Center to get ready. He cleaned, moved stuff, loaded the drink machines, and other things. After he came home and ate (chicken, sweet potatoes, green beans and rolls), he fell asleep in the chair. He's sleeping now and I'm to wake him up to go to praise team practice. Adam and I have a night here planned.
On another note, Adam did not get in trouble today at daycare.

It's Official
Adam has officially moved into the two year old room at daycare. He has been staying in there for part of the day for several weeks, but today I guess was his first day. I am sad to leave Mrs. Sharon in his old room. She is so kind and gentle and her love for Jesus just oozes out of her. She would call Adam "Lovebug." His new teacher is Mrs. Donna. She is a sister to Mrs. Trina, the co-director of Higher Aim. She is very nice-tall, blond, stylish. Remind you of anyone? Ha ha!
Today I picked up Adam and he came to the door. The first thing he said was, "I get trub," which means I got in trouble. He's honest, huh? I told him to say sorry and he very quickly said, "Sorry Don-na." I asked Donna if this was normal and she said yes. It's a little more structured and there are some ground rules she wants to set. He and his best friend Eli are both in there. I think they hit each other every day (and have for some time) if what Adam tells me is correct, but I think it's all in love and male bonding.
As you know, Adam is not potty trained and I asked Mrs. Donna if I needed to speed things up and she said there is only one boy in the room who is trained. There's a three year old in there who's not, so I guess we're okay.
Tonight is church night. It sure doesn't feel like Wednesday.
Adam is hungry. Better feed the boy before we head to JCC.
