Hi.
So. It's been awhile. Life has been mundanely busy. Does that make sense?
My Christmas in Minnesota was nice. Short, but nice. It seems like we are only going to get a short time there this summer, and that kind of stinks. Ryan's family is coming out to Breckenridge, Colorado, and renting a condo for a week. Ryan couldn't get that week off, but he has the last week in July off and the first week in August. We're planning a trip to Minnesota together during that time. We'll be celebrating my grandma's 90th birthday and visiting Ryan's mom in northern Minnesota as well.
Work has been busy. The beginning of this month I spent three days here in town going to a reading conference. It was very enlightening, and I'm hoping that we can get the tools we learned about into teachers' hands really soon. We've been testing like crazy, and teaching like crazy. My kids are growing a bunch, and its so fun to see. We're working on doing animal research reports, and the kids are LOVING it. Our technology teacher is teaching the kids how to use PowerPoint. My kiddos are loving that, too. So much fun. My students met their points goal for good behavior during the week, so we had some time outside on Friday because it was SO nice out. Some of my boys went up on the hill to play football together, and most of the rest of my students played tag together. Then we had Hawaiian punch. I had a blast, and they liked it too. :)
On the health front, things are not going well. My doctor doesn't think that my medication to induce ovulation worked this month, so we probably won't get to do the IUI this month. On top of that, I got a high blood pressure reading. I guess I hadn't been paying attention, but the past few times I've been to the doctor, it's been high. So he told me that if it didn't come down by the next time I came in (that's this coming Monday), that wew'd have to do some medication.
Needless to say, I'm going to be on that medication, too. I bought a home blood pressure thingy, and it's been high every reading. And that's not good.
I'm terrified. As much as I want to have a baby, I don't want to have a baby and then drop dead, you know? So Monday, we're going to have a talk with the doctor.
Anyway, that's all from here anyway. How are you?
Hi Marcie. I've been following your updates on FB and know that you're doing a lot, working out as much as you can and that is a good thing! Don't give up, try de-stressing and relaxing more. Just let go of the things you have no control of, and let God do the rest. I've found that the more I hang on to what I think I should have now, the farther away it is, the more stressful life is. So let go and take it one day at a time. ok? Keep up the working out, and add walking to your workout. A friend of mine who had really bad high blood pressure, started in our walking group, is no longer on the tablets she used to take! So it does work, there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
