Sick Day.....YUCK!

Calling in sick as a teacher is the worst thing! I had to do it today & HATE it! I hate calling in a leaving a substitute with thirteen 4 & 5 year olds. I know everything is fine but I think about how hard it is for me to handle all of them sometimes and I see them everyday! But needless to say I would have been useless today. I am not sure if it is just me or if it is a lot of people, but allergies are about to take me down. I had a severe allergic reaction to Roxanne Bradford's dog on Friday and have been dragging around with a migraine type headache for days and days. I told Lance yesterday that I thought I needed to go have my head examined. And of course he told me that it was probably allergies or a sinus infection, which I'm sure it is. That's why I love Lance. He is so level headed. If it wasn't for Lance I would probably think I was dying to some terrible disease every time I had a headache or a fever! :) But say a little prayer that I can somehow get rid of this headache! As lots of you probably know, having a headache for days and days is TORTURE! I have to go back into work tomorrow so it would be nice if I could be headache/allergy free!

On a different note, I would like to ask those of you who read this to really pray for clarity on where Lance and I should be going to graduate school. It is too complicated a situation to really go into detail about on the blog, and once I know more I will post. But to make a long story short. Lance and I are probably going to be moving to Lubbock to go to Tech but some things still need to fall into place. We previously thought we were going to be going to Abilene for school but that may not be the case anymore. We are praying for quick decision making from the departments we have applied to, clarity on where God wants us to be, Lance to do well on the GRE on Monday (grad school entrance exam.....not fun!), and for things to go smoothly in finding an apartment. I am also a little nervous about the program at Tech, because it is known for being very challenging. I know I will do fine, but I am praying daily that God will take away this doubt I have in myself as well!

Thanks so much everybody!

Have a great day today and I hope the allergies in the air haven't gotten you too! :)

P.S I just saw an add on the computer that said 57 days until swimsuit season!! I mean I know I cannot be the only one who can't believe this! For all of you seasoned wives out there.....how do you stay swimsuit ready when you are married and cooking for a man who could eat 5 bowls of ice cream a day and not gain a pound! Maybe I need some self control, but I must say it has been harder being in shape as a wife than any time in college!
