My son has a new teacher that replaced his former one-that we miss terribly!! His former teacher left to persue a new job. His new teacher has assigned so much homework it is unreal. Like I want to spend over an hour at night some nights just trying to help him with his homework. (AND I AM GOING TO SCHOOL TO TEACH!) Anyway today he brings Math homework home--and y'all know how much I LOVE math. OMGosh. He has no clue how to do it. I asked Brady, "Did she explain any of this to your class?" He says, "No" "She told us to look over the pages and do the problems and if we have questions she will help us." So now I am getting really upset. Are we expected to teach the lessons to our kids at home? He told me last week he had a question and she never even got over to him to answer it. How are they supposed to learn? He has been so positive in school until now. He acts like he doesn't care as much as he used to. And he's a straight A student!! I guess I will have to work extra hard with him this year and make sure he gets everything done and turned in. AAAHHH!!!!!
Like I have anything else to do on bedrest or should I say house arrest.
Courtney-hope your doggie is doing better!!

Stuff
Well we had our Animal Welfare Society meeting Tues night. I stepped down as president and now we have a spunky new one. Hope everything works out ok, there have already been disagreements at the meeting and that was only 5 min as her being pres. Oboy!! I just don't have time to do it all right now. We have the baby coming and I am still on the board for AWS.
I am also still PTO sec. for this year. Brady will be in the BIG WRMS middle school next year. I still think WRJH looks better than WRMS--reminds me of worms. uck. This is my last year of PTO officer duty. My last year of home room mom. It is very sad, my little boy is growing up!! .......... Until Trey gets in school..........and I get to relive it all over again! Yay!!
Got to go get ready for Thanksgiving at my parents house, then off to Quapaw to my grandparents house. I kinda wish they weren't on the same day it would be so much easier for me. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!!!

Whiney Wednesday
*I am so having Wal*Mart withdrawals! I haven't been there since Monday, October 24! ( Yes I remember the exact date.) The day before they admitted me to the hospital and put me on bedrest.
*My doctor told me today that the only way I can go to Wal*Mart is to be pushed in a wheelchair or ride one of those scooter things. Oh Ya! People would be looking at me thinking--look at that fat girl she's too lazy to walk. I don't think so.
*If I make it to 36 weeks--which will be Feb.3, I can deliver Trey here in Miami. If he comes earlier he will have to be born in Tulsa. Which gives me the fear that I would have to be flown once again in the wonderful helicopter.
*I think I will take it easy and try to keep him in until Feb 3rd!!!!!!!!!!
*When I have my c-section, I will also have my stitches out and tubes tied!!
*I have no Christmas shopping done at all. I will have to make a list for Mr. Bradys-mom or have him take me very late at night where I won't see anyone. Hey, thats an idea.........
*I am going to see the new Harry Potter movie this coming weekend. I asked and I can be dropped off at the door-go straight to my seat-and right back to the car. At least I will be able to go somewhere! Yea! (Really not a whine) :)
*Days of Our Lives is really pissing me off with the Marlena storyline. Ok-enoughs enough. Who in the heck is this guy???
*We have caught two mice in our house this month.

They tore down the Speedaway
I didn't know if anyone noticed today, but they tore down the Speedaway. I think it was called that...... the little station by Sonic that they used to come out and pump your gas for you. I thought it was so cute and vintage looking. Now it is GONE! Very sad!! You can tell I haven't been out much lately. I didn't even know until a couple of days ago that our bank was completely gone. But they are building a new one.
I am gonna go watch Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants now with my son. He doesn't have school tomorrow and I plan on sleeping late, very late in the morning.
cya happy HNT

I have too much to do!
Here I sit doing nothing!
I did stick addresses, fold, stuff, stamp and put return addresses on over 100 newsletters and envelopes for AWS last night though. Time to pay dues for the year! :)
*We turned our air conditioner on today. I couldn't take it anymore. I can't believe running the air in November??!
*I have so much to do! My house is in dire need of decluttering, I figure I can sit on the floor and declutter still staying on semi-bedrest.
*Our dryer decided to smell like burning something or other a couple of days ago. I just love hanging clothes up to dry-nice and crunchy socks, ya thats what I like. Yes, I am being sarcastic. for the ones that don't know the real me. :) Hopefully we can find one soon.
*I wish I could work right now, we need Christmas money! Brady will be getting a new bike, which he will have to keep put up in safe keeping, since his other one got stolen. The people across the street had nice new bikes--why didn't they get theirs? Brady was in need of a new one anyway but WHY steal my little boys bike? Ok, Ok. He also wants a small pool table. The older they get the harder they are to buy for. Boys don't usually want clothes for Christmas.
*3 months, 1 week and 6 days, until Trey will be here!! That is if he is born on Feb 21. I can't believe it is going by soooo fast. It is unreal.
*The new Harry Potter will be out next weekend! And yes I plan on going. It looks like it is going to be very very good.
Thats all for now, maybe more later. I had to go back and make some bullets. My post made no sense at all. ha

My results from Aprils quiz
Since I am a very boring person today, and can't come up with anything of my own, here are my results from Aprils quiz!!
Dominant Personality: Understanding
Good Traits: You gravitate towards people,
and are a shoulder to lean on. You give advice
at any given time.
Bad Traits: You aren't close with any one
person. You immerse yourself in other people's
problems and forget your own.
People see you as: Friendly, secretive, and
popular. People envy you, and may try and use
you as a tool
You're most like: Grace. You both have
positive relationships with people. Neither of
you have close friends, but unlike graceful
people, you try to help people out and aren't
as arrogant.
You need more: Solitude. You hardly get the
chance to breathe when you take on the world's
problems. You can't take other's
responsibilities or put them before your own.
Be selfish once in a while and discover who you
really are.

Picture of Trey
Last week I might have whined about being in the hospital, but I am so glad they caught my problem when they did and I ended up in the hospital. I had my surgery last Wednesday. My doctor appt. today went good and baby looks good so I am very, very thankful!!!!!!!!!!!! Here is a pic of Trey's 21 week ultrasound. This was from a couple of weeks ago. He is almost 23 weeks now. Isn't he a cutie??? :)
No whining here today! Now, tomorrow I will have a HNT I could very well whine about. Wait and see.
