Clearing out the Crap

We decided to have Ryan miss school for the whole week. I'm not sure at what point he's not contagious but we decided to play it safe. I took work off Monday and Tuesday and Scott took off work Wednesday and Thursday. We didn't have school Friday so also no work for me. Ryan handled being sick like a champ. Really he didn't seem sick at all for several days but he had a crazy rash everywhere, that couldn't have felt great. He will go back to school tomorrow. I got a giant stack of papers to cut from Gabby's teacher while I was off of work. I didn't feel like cleaning or organizing but I wanted to do something. I love watching shows while working on something so it was perfect.

I was happy to be back at work Wednesday and Thursday. It's a hard job but I like it. I was proud of myself because I introduced myself to the principal. I've been wanting to but haven't had an opportunity that didn't feel weird. For some reason they fed the staff lunch on Thursday and he was there and available so I went up to him and told him who I was. He said he knew who I was but I told him I was a teacher and he didn't know that. He told me he would help find me a job. So that was awesome. The teacher I work talked to him later about me and he said, "she's awesome I'm going to find her a job." So that felt great to hear. Hopefully he will! Ha.

Scott has been in project mode. He cleaned and organized our closet and the closet in the boys room that was full of his stuff. He's been getting other things done on his to do list as well. We have seriously gotten rid of so much stuff in the last few weeks. It feels good!

I started to feel sick on Friday but I was still able to do some work around the house that I wanted to get done. By Saturday I felt really down and out. I was either laying in my bed or on the couch all day. It really helped to rest. I still have a runny nose today but my body doesn't feel beat down like it did yesterday.

I had brunch with my girlfriends today and we all made it. It was a miracle. We haven't been hanging out with our friends as much lately. I think everyone is just busy and in a winter funk. I am so ready for spring.

I got all geared up for the week. I menu planned and went grocery shopping and had the kids help me clean the house. We are ready! Bring it!

Ryan's rash. Yikes! 

We had some hang out time.

My plants are not coming up! EEK!

I redid the bulletin board.

I forced Piper and Ryan outside on Friday. They had to exercise with me and then compromised with just sitting outside for 30 minutes. It was freezing. Corbin would rather get it done and freeze than go later when it was pleasant. Whatever dude. I didn't make Gabby because she plays outside all the time. Ryan the sick boy was off the hook. 

I've blown my nose a million times! OMG!
