Wowzers!

I see the last time I posted was Halloween! Yikes! Well...

Last Friday Braelyn and I had a few doctor appointments so I took the day off to get them done. I had my eyes checked. They're healthy, but I'm blind. No lie... I cannot see a thing unless I have my glasses on or contacts in. Absolutely crazy! Then we headed for SF for my dermo appointment. My "itchies" are only present when I'm stressed. Hmmm... Well... I'm the type of person that can't seem to relax therefore I have "itchies" all of the time. I guess I'll just have to get used to it and continue to put my "special cream" on the spots. By special cream I mean that I have to go to a pharmacy specialist to have it made. Oh speaking of that... while I was waiting for them to make my concoction a lady came in asking for her dog's perscription :S. I just thought if your animal needed medicine it got the meds from a vet... not a human store. Anyways, then we had Braelyn's 1 year appointment (I still can't believe she's a year old)! She is in the 90% for height and head circumference and 50% for weight. She's doing what she's supposed to be doing at her age which made me feel good. Then she had her 3 shots. She was supposed to have 5, but I said I'd come back to do her other flu and the 2 she missed. No way was I going to let them poke her 3 different times. Plus last time she got shots... ufffta! I wasn't going to go through that again. So that ended our Friday.
Saturday Heath had Guards so Braelyn and I went to Howard to my friend Kim's Pampered Chef party. It's always good to gossip and see the ladies I used to work with. Then Braelyn and I came home to do some playing and cleaning and sleeping! Tracy and Caymen came over for a visit after Jack's B-day party which was super nice of them. Time goes by so slow when Heath is away.
Sunday Braelyn and I made a trip to DR to visit family and get books so I could do my lesson plans. Caitlin is on her week break from college so we were able to see her. My brother Rane and his girlfriend Aneta came as well. It was good to see the both of them because from now to March we'll only get to see Rane at basketball games (Basketball season rates right up there with Christmas for me)! We'll be making many trips to Vermillion to watch the Coyotes this winter! GO YOTES! I can't seem to put a picture on here tonight because my computer has some serious issues so here is a link to his bio... http://www.usdcoyotes.com/sports/mbball/bio.asp?PLAYER_ID=2137 When they say he made his only attempted three pointer, they should have said something about making a 92 ft shot! It was amazing!
Yesterday we had our first snow day! However, we so could have had school. I made it all of the way to DR and as I turned off of the interstate the radio announcer said, "No school for Dell Rapids Public, Dell Rapids St. Mary, and STRIVE High." Um... excuse me... I made it here! I had to get my dad's truck so he could take my car to get a new windshield anyways so it wasn't like I made the trip for nothing. And speaking of new windshield... I can see clearly now! I have new eyes and no cracks in my view! It's amazing!
Tomorrow is Parent/Teacher conferences. The worst time of the year. I dread them. I don't know why. They aren't that bad. But, I'd much rather be at home with my child and husband. It'll be okay because...Friday is 2 days away!!!!
