Hey folks- all 3 of you that read this...
Busy week again. I had my surgery- and it was wonderful to be "out of it" even though it was only for a few hours.
Got the "moms" out of the house and was still sore. Went to work Monday and boy it was good to be back. Had a pretty uneventful day. Tuesday I made it through the day- no major events. Had sign class and just about everyone showed up. Wed and Thursday nights I went back to Sorenson. Wed I observed... Thursday I got on the phones for over an hour. I also found out I was signing the word "any" wrong. I have been teaching it wrong for a long time too!!! DOH!! Friday I interviewed for the Para position at the school and I really don't want it- but if it lets me stay at KSD great!!! Anyway- interviewed and signed for myself and forgot the sign for "multiplication" and for hands on- and a few others... anyway- I heard I did pretty good in the interview.
The boss invited me out to lunch- I am not a big fan of Mi Ranchito but I haven't been out to lunch and really thought I deserved a "treat" for the week. We get sat down at the restaurant and Bud calls me. "Um... I lost my job." I asked him to repeat it... he did... he was calling from the SRS building. He already was meeting with his VR counselor. By 2pm he had 2 call backs from contracting companies. So anyway- he is pretty positive about it- and is actively seeking new employment. I won't go into why he was laid off- because I think the company (contracting company) was looking for something to cause them to fire him... which isn't fair--- but at the same time---with all the health issues I was very surprised they didn't fire him before.
Anyway--- Nathan had a follow up appointment from his ER visit and his tonsils and adenoids are still swollen and so he definiely has to have them removed. He also got his flu shot and was very good with it all. Not sure when it will happen now.
I am supposed to find out what job I'm going to be doing at KSD on Monday- but the Principal's 4 yr old daughter died of cancer last week and the funeral is on Monday. Practically every staff person in the elementary is going to the funeral- so I will be in the classroom most of the day and so I probably won't hear until later in the week.
Went to the Kansas Speedway today. Bud's dad turns 60 on October 31st an for his birthday he got to go to the Dale Jarrett Racing School and got to go 8 laps around the Kansas Speedway. It was a bit crazy. 27 people came to watch him but several did not show up by 2pm like they were supposed to- but it turned out ok- he was in the 3rd group to drive and when it came time for him to actually get in and drive- everyone was there!!! Nathan had a great time- but it was a long day (ha ha ha!) he even kissed his girlfiend!
They had been holding hands most of the afternoon. CRAZY!!!!!! Well- got to get some stuff done before Nathan comes home tomorrow. He is staying in "Harvey the RV" with Grammy and PaPa. He will go on a picnic tomorrow and then come home.
Oh- he has started signing!! He signs his name and spells BIGFOOT and signs apple and milk and grandma and grandpa and mom and dad and a lot of others. I am so proud of him! Finally!! I have been trying to get this kid to sign since birth!
OTHER AWESOME NEWS- April one of my youth minister kids and her boyfriend got engaged over the summer and I got asked this week to be their officiating minister. The other cool part is that she is getting married where Bud and I got married 6 yrs ago!
Until I post again!
