Our First Official "School" Illness....

Well, Olivia has her first official illness since starting school. She has been really sick since Sunday (or Saturday night). I knew (and was warned) that she would get sick a lot at first. I just hope it's not too much. It has been kinda rough this week, but we've managed. I didn't miss any school and Jason didn't miss any work so I guess we got lucky this time. In my Speech class, my teacher will not let you miss 1 day or he deducts 25 points. Yes, you heard it right! No excused absences. Oh, and get this, if you miss more than 2 days, he starts deducting 50 points off your grade for every absence. Nice huh??? Well, really he seems to be. I am shocked at the attendance policy though. If Olivia gets sick and I have a doctor or hospital note and he deducts 25 points, we are going to duke it out!!!! :-) No really, I think I can manage. I just hope everyone else can. I think his class will be fine. (I am trying to stay positive about it can't you tell?). Here are some cute pics of Olivia I took last week BEFORE she got sick!









Not sure what the deal is with the pouty lips. Not sure where she has picked this up.

I just can't get over how pretty she is. I hate that she has gotten sick. We should be allowed to keep them each in their own protective bubble where nothing negative can ever happen to them.
I cannot believethe attendance policy. That is just taking it too far. i've never really understood the whole attendance situation at college. If you are paying for the class you should want to be there as much as you possibly can and if for any reason your weren't there, it takes me back to, you are the one who had to pay for the course. The teacher gets paid regardless so to be that insanely strict just blows me away. anyway, enough of my rant. Hope your little one feels better soon. take care!

Girl, now that she is in school, just watch out!!!
My mom warned me of this when Salem started school, but I thought she was nuts, when she said he would probably catch everything for the first couple of years. The reason is, until they get an immunity built up, they will catch everything!
Pump her full of some good ole' orange juice, and pack some handy hand sanitizer in her backpack:)
She is the most adorable little girl, and she is cracking me up with the lips:)
lol

Your teacher must not have a wife or kids..never gets sick himself..or has never had an emergency..how sad...maybe nobody likes his class so in the past students skipped because it was so horrible..HAHAHA

I hope little Miss Olivia starts feeling better soon! It's yucky when you have sick babies. Both of mine have a cold right now, so I understand.
Good luck with your speech teacher. That attendance policy is messed up!

Oh, I feel your pain, but my speach class was in 94. Boy was that forever ago. Miss Pockrus rocks. I have her for World Geography and the class is great. You got the hateful one this go round it will go better. If you get in a pich call me and I will try to help with Olivia. You know my boys would love that.

By the way today will be a Wally World day we could lunch in Micky D's (LOL). That is about as excited as the dinning gets around here for now. One part of Motherhood that I really don't like, but we all go through it.

Have a great weekend and I am sure I will see you somewhere this weekend!

Tanya,
Olivia is the most adorable thing I have seen!
I didn't know if you realized I am one of Avery's teachers. She is a mess also.
Olivia and Avery are two VERY lucky little girls to have such wonderful parents.

Slowdown....

I just want to tell everyone now, my posts may start slowing down drastically when school starts back. I start on the 15th (next Thursday) and I do have some rather difficult classes this time. Also, I will be studying for the hesi test that I have to take if February, so my blog life will be taking a back seat for a while... I am not going to quit blogging though. I do have plans for a couple of posts in the near future, I just can't keep up like I am used to when classes start. I just wanted everyone to know why I am suddenly not leaving comments on your blog or not updating as frequently...Please keep me in your prayers as I am studying for this hesi test. This test will determine whether I get into the nursing program or not and I have A LOT of competition.... Just want you all to know what's going on with me when my blog is not being updated that much.... Love ya friends.......

"Pray to Jesus"....

Image
So the past few weeks, Jason and I have decided to try to get in the habit of saying a prayer before we all eat dinner at night. I'll admit, this is one habit Jason and I never did that we should have already been doing. Anyway, at night I will say "Oh, we need to say our prayers." Olivia just loves it. Everyone at the table ends up saying a prayer (at Olivia's request). But I just had to post, every one of her prayers start with "Pray to Jesus".. EVERY ONE! And if we forget to say them, (yes, we forget) she says "We need to pray to Jesus!" It is the sweetest thing ever! She always makes us close our eyes and cross our fingers together. So tonight, I'll admit, I peeked to see what kind of face she was making during these prayers, and it was the cutest thing ever... So, I got up and got the camera ~ and then got in trouble!! Hehe.... :-) Our baby is growing up!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!
