It's been awhile

I'm sure nobody checks this anymore, but I am bored and trying to stay awake until my mom gets here from Florida. Things have been so busy around here since Brad has gotten home.
The only thing really exciting in my life right now is my endless studying for my Jazzercise certification. My test and workshop are at the end of June. I am so excited because it is something I have wanted to do for years and I can't believe I am actually on the road to achievment. I have a 500 page book to memorize along with 10 dance routines. I got my materials a week ago and am amazed at how out of shape I have gotten. I am worn out from practicing the workouts. Hopefully two months is enough time to get in excellent shape. It is a big challenge. I will also be in charge of the entire business aspect of it instead of just substitute teaching since there are no Jazzercise classes in the area. Which, means more money, but a LOT more responsibilty. I am amazed at how much easier it is to follow someone working out than actually teaching, memorizing the counts, reps, and specific movements. I know people think I'm crazy for being so passionate about this, but it is my dream and I love doing it. I sincerely think that becomming an instructor not only helps people physically but emotionally as well. If I can have a positive impact on one person the way my instructor had on me, then I will consider myself a success.
Landon and Victoria are getting easier in some ways since they can play together well now, but that also means that they fight more. I'm glad that Landon can hold his own with his big sister now and not let her push him around as much.
I am having an awful time with Victoria sleeping in her own bed. She says she is scared. Even if I get her to go to sleep in her own bed she wakes up frightened and either locks herslef in the bathroom or comes to bed with Brad and I. I don't know what to do with her anymore.
I am so glad it is summer and we can spend most of the day outside instead of inside watching t.v. or getting bored. However, Brad and I are still hooked on 24 and I think second season is even better than first.
That about sums it up. Marita, if you read this, because if anyone does it will probably only be you, I hope you are feeling better and we can't wait to meet our new niece or nephew and cousin!

    Hey, I read this, too! I was excited to see your name turn white...
    I think the Jazzercise certification process sounds good, and I'm glad you're getting excited about it.
    I hope we can see each other sometime relatively soon. It's been a long time!

    Believe me, your congregation doesn't have more problems than most. If that is the way it seems it is likely just that your members are more honest with each other than most.

    nicole, when was the last time you went to a haunted house? You, me, and Kim have to go to one! Wouldn't that be fun?? Kim and I were discussing it the other day because I had the memory of you and I going to that really scary haunted house and turning around it looked so bad! Do you remember that?

    Ryan still has a fever. I thought he was getting better...but he started acting lethargic again, and his fever came back. Tessa started to feel warm to me before I put her to bed a few minutes ago. I haven't seen Ryan pull at his ear, nor have I heard him complain about his ear hurting. His symptoms have been mostly fever and lethargy.

The kids are sick

and its sad because it is impossible to hold two sick babies at the same time for very long. Victoria keeps throwing up everytime she lays down but she keeps asking to take a nap. Landon can't breath and coughs everytime I lay him down and wakes himself up. It's sad, I feel badly for them. They are both down for now so Im going to go take a nap. Oh, yeah, and I'm 22! lol, I seriously forgot until someone called me this morning.

    I guess since the munchkins are sick you won't be able to meet for lunch? :(

    I didn't realize until just now that I don't have you on my friends list. No wonder I never know what is going on with you. I will remedy that immediately.

    I'm kind of like you; almost forgot my birthday until people kept coming up to me last night to hand me cards. I didn't know we shared birthdays. We're almost the same age, except double your age and add 2. :-)

    Thank you for coming to Franklin today. I know it's not easy to get out with the munchkins. I enjoyed getting to see you guys and especially getting to cuddle with Lan-man.

    I know you were a little frazzled today. It's hard to tell it when you are the one dealing with the kids all the time, but they really are sweeties and you are a great mom. The crazy days will happen...before you know it they will be Tessa, Ethan and Ryan's age and sitting still in church won't be so much of a battle anymore. Then you'll miss these days of holding them in your lap. So enjoy the journey. ;)

    I can't wait to keep the little ones in a few weeks!!!

    ((((((((HUG)))))))) I love you.

Randomness

My tooth is killing me! It's very sensitive when I eat or drink anything cold, or even when I bite down on anything. Cavity? Any suggestions? It comes and goes, I remember feeling this before but it just went away.

If I watch Barney one more time I will be able to recite the entire movie word for word...I hear it in my sleep!

Victoria used her potty chair and brought the green pee catcher downstairs to me, Landon followed after her. I ran from the kitchen to the steps when I heard the whailing screams. Thankfully he landed on his bottom at the bottom. (He's okay) well, I think it freaked Victoria out because she started going ballistic and yelling and crying. Then, all in an instant she throws her potty chair up in the air and pee goes flying everywhere!!! So, there I am standing there consoling a frightened and slightly bruised little boy as I look on at the disbelief of pee droplets freeflyin and completely soaking not only the floors but my pant leg as well.

    I guess Little Landon has enough padding on him which helped him bounce down the steps.
