I Have A Dream...

Actually, I've been having A LOT of crazy, wacky dreams the last couple of weeks. I've been waking up and getting up in the middle of the night and if you know me I used to sleep through a tornado. Just last night I had a WIDE variety in my sleep entertainment:

• I got new glasses and they were bigger than my face! They were HUGE with dark black, thick, square frames. And...I showed up to a special event at a church somewhere with lots of people. This brings me to another dream...
• It was kinda like a camp meeting, only in a huge community church. There was a couple of people playing their instruments on the front row, but about 10-15 instruments not being played. This guy stopped the service and got down in the middle of the aisle and took volunteers to play the instruments like it was an auction. "Alright! Who's going to come up and play the clarinet? I have two! Come on folks, this service is not continuing till the instruments are being played!" HA!
• Eating at some pitch-in and Wes and I were sitting a seat apart ( not a clue why). All of a sudden, the previous principal of our school came down and sat in between us and started talking to everyone there like we weren't present. Strange...
• Vanload of church people headed somewhere. I don't know where we were and didn't know in my dream either. All I know is that it had flooded and there was sand piles everywhere. We all got out and played in the sand!!! Wes and I were scooping up sand in water bottles along with our current principal for our 100th day activities. (That actually is tomorrow. My principal cracked up when she heard we had been playing in the sand together).
• Was in a wedding and the only way I can describe it was...REDNECK. It was in a mall and I had a key for some store that my friend needed in....during the wedding. Toward the end of the wedding, the people in the seats were standing up hollering, but not frantically. There was a HUGE, we're talking dog size, tarantula crawling underneath the seats. Not sure what happened there because I started chasing a puppy who had somehow got my pantyhose and was dragging them everywhere.

This is all in one night...not to mention the last few nights! Crazy!!! Either this is going to be my pregnant thing or I'm starting to take after Grandma Bailey. She has some dandies!

Skipping Ahead A Few Years

Wes took me out for supper tonight (lunch time, thought Chinese sounded good..."baby" doesn't care for it!). When Wesley came back to the booth, the little boy sitting behind us (or rather standing on the bench peeking over) looked at him and said, "Hi Papa!" I cracked up and said something about being a few years away from being a papa. What was really funny was when papa showed up, I noticed the "similarities." Papa was about twice his size, with a big, bushy, gray mustache, and a gray ponytail about half way down his back. I can see how the little guy was so confused! HAHA Apparently we're just going to skip the "daddy" years. (At least I wasn't the one being accused of being old this time!)

I went to the doctor today and life, as we know it, is about to change! We're having a baby! It looks like we're due at the end of August. Wes & I are pretty excited and nervous about the "unknown," but trying to leave the nervousness in God's hands. After all, this is HIS creation!
No morning sickness so far...Hallelujah! They drained me of all my blood and told me lots of do's and don'ts today, some of them a duh! I did find out that I'm not aloud to eat veggies unless they've been at least steamed a little. So much for the salads I had last week. The reason is b/c of the e-coli spell just recently. Who would've thunk?

Back in the Swing of Things

Reality struck back this week and it's been a looonnngg week! The school days really seemed to drag! I guess I got used to being on vacation. The kids and I worked really hard! I like to double up and get a lot accomplished during the winter months because once spring is here...forget it (for me and my students). Also, my "terror" child is reverting back to his terror ways and another one is deciding to cry all the time and doesn't want to eat. When he does, he gags himself and throws up! DISGUSTING! Not going to keep happening, as his mother and I have had a little chat. If something is really wrong, he needs to go to the doctor. Funny he's always OK to play on recess. :(

My sister and long time best friend came over last night and we stayed up and played games. Got up and went out for breakfast and then played some more. All of us girls ended up taking a nap though. Guess we're growing up now and can't pull those "teenage" stunts anymore.

This is not a good picture of us, but Wes wasn't paying attention! :0)

Still Alive

Well, I'd like to say that I got everything accomplished this week on my list-thus my long absence. But, the truth of the matter is, I've just been plain L-A-Z-Y (and enjoying every minute of it). Reality comes back bright and early Monday morning.
Hope everyone had a wonderful time bringing in the new year. We enjoyed ourselves with some friends from church-Darin, Amy, & girls, Don & Dottie, and the Barmores. We played games and ate too much yummy food.
We're at mom's this weekend. Wesley and my cousin are trying to replace the skirting on her house. It's nice and dreary here. I finished making 1 order of cards for a lady at mom's work. Only 40 more cards to go, but they're for Christmas, so I have a little time.

Playing with Presents

Grandma & Grandpa Bailey know that Wesley loves trains. For Christmas, they got him a model train with lots of little bitty pieces. It required a lot more patience than I have.

Christmas Fun

Wesley and I had an excellent Christmas this year! We received all kinds of goodies-mine being the majority of scrapbook items. Go figure! I love it! Trish and I played with some of our new "toys" while Wesley and Nathan played with their "junk." We came back to Indiana Christmas evening to mom's house. We're still not home. (I love the perks of teaching.)

Had fun today getting some after Christmas specials. I always get my wrapping paper, boxes, etc. for next year. I'm hoping to find some presents like I did last year.

I'm hoping to get some catch up work done around the house this break. However, I'm going to have to get home first to do it. I'm afraid break will go way too fast. It's hard to believe the school year is already half over!!
