Randoms...

Sorry for the lack of posts, I just can't seem to find the time during the day, and at night I am exhausted! Here are several posts within a post...pics to come later BTW

*Both Marshall and Presley are walking/running everywhere. In fact, it's weird for me to see them crawl now!

*We spent Memorial Day weekend at my parents' house with my dad. My mom was/is up in Joplin helping Catherine get settled into their rent house. Post and pictures to come later!

*Marshall had his appointment this morning with a pediatric surgeon here in FW. He has a congenital cyst on his left side of his chest that has to be removed. His surgery is June 17th and he has to go under anesthesia. Even though it's an outpatient procedure, mucho prayers are appreciated. The thought of him being by himself in there (without me) makes me sad. :(

*Kyle is on babysitting duty this weekend. I have my annual Girls Weekend with my college friends, and last year I wasn't able to go for obvious reasons, so I am super excited! We have been doing this since 2003, the first year after we graduated from college. It is always a blast and hopefully I will remember to take some pics!

*This summer we are going to Costa Rica for 8 days and I can.not.wait! Kyle's mom bought a condo in Coco Beach in April and we are dying to get down there and see it! Carter will be with us and I know she will have a blast. To say that Kyle and I are looking forward to it is a serious understatement. It will be a much needed break/relaxation time. Yes M and P are coming with us, but so is Kyle's mom and possibly some of his siblings so I will hopefully be able to steal some "me" time in there. :)

*I have a four day training to attend in a couple of weeks and the twins will be going to their babysitter for next year for the first time. Makes me teary-eyed just thinking about leaving them!

*Speaking of going back to work...I'm teaching GT (gifted and talented) next year and I'm a little concerned they'll be smarter than me. This sounds stupid to anyone who hasn't gone through chemo (which is the majority of people yes I know), but ever since I finished treatment I feel dumber. A big part of it is my memory, it's no bueno now. Which really ticks me off because I used to have a good memory! I still have those times when I know what words I want to say, they are in my head, but I can't get the message to connect with my mouth. It's like the opposite of "Oh it's on the tip of my tongue...I just can't think of it!". It's "I can't make my mouth say the stupid words that are in my head!" This is not the best thing to happen when you are trying to educate students! I have a feeling there will be a lot of "look it up tonight and let me know what you find out tomorrow" going on. It should be interesting!
