I guess my life is just not that exciting any more or having no crazy husband around to do stupid things has left me with nothing much to write about these days. This week our school lost another teacher to cancer. Barbara and Brad had many conversations once she was diagnosed. You could find Brad sitting with her and they would be deep into a conversation about numbers, blood work, tests, good docs, etc. The way I received the message was by text stating that she and Brad were sharing breakfast at the banquet table laid out for them. I hope she told him that Katie and I were doing OK. I wish there was a way to get cell phone reception from Heaven…I sure would like to hear his voice.
House reno is going good. I was beginning to get a little crazy when all the kitchen stuff was spread out everywhere. My house looked like an episode of the Hoarders! All cabinets are in, tile is mostly done, next comes the granite!!! All this started because I wanted a dishwasher after a year of not having one. This was the last big purchase Brad’s knows that I made….I’m sure now he sees all the other “costs” associated with that dishwasher and the funny thing is is that it isn’t even hooked back up yet and I don’t care!!!
It is nice not having a class this semester. Katie just started her spring round this week all while being sick with viral bronchitis. I guess it will be good next year when she can maybe miss out on every first year teacher disease since she has had it all this year starting with a case of swine flu!!! Maybe she thought my care taking skills weren’t being practiced any longer and she needed to do her part.
Thanks for still logging in and checking to see if I had written….maybe I will get back in the swing of doing it. Or maybe something exciting will happen soon that I can write about!!!

Katie and I have decided 2010 is the year for us to get in shape. She went today and got the Wi Fit board and games, plus the Biggest Loser game for us to try. Once we got it going, we had to put all of our stats in and let the board “examine” us. Katie is in much better shape than dear old mom. The coolest thing is that Brad was there with us! Last year we bought him the Wii to rehab in the hospital and to give him something to do at the trailer on those long boring days of recovery. Since we came back to Irving in March the Wii never got plugged in. I don’t know why just too tired to play or maybe it had bad associations or something, but Katie hooked it up today. When we turned it on there were our little Mii’s we made last year. During all of the workouts the little Mii’s are there cheering you on. I was riding the bike and low and behold there was Brad’s mii standing right in front of me cheering me on. Katie was doing a step aerobics class and Brad was the mii right beside her. That made it even more fun to look for daddy as we played these games. And boy…they do hurt! I am tired but was so motivated to see Brad that I kept going. Maybe this is just what we need.
Geeezzz…school starts in one day. Let’s see….hmmm..nope didn’t get everything done. Oh well…it will get done and when I look at all we DID do we did a lot. My kitchen redo starts on Monday so it will be eating out for Miss Katie and me for the week. Darn!!! When we get the house done we will have a little partay at the Williams’.!!! It doesn’t seem like Brad’s been gone as long as he has and then again it seems like a lifetime that I have lived already without him. We have made it through every big day without too much drama or tears. Now the next thing to come will be Valentine’s day. It makes me laugh though becasue last year Brad was still in Houston and I was back here teaching. He was pretty good about sending me flowers to school and even better when we started working at the same school. Trying to show off you know! Last year he sent me this HUGE flower arrangement that couldn’t even be carried down the hall. It looked like a funeral arrangement!! This was his way to tell me there was no way to pay me back for all that I had gone through with him. He said that on the card. I wonder if he can get on line in heaven to order this year’s flowers. Man…that would slightly freak me out!! I don’t mind working out with him but flower delivery from heaven…hmmm..that’s a little too much!!
