Wow, just wow!

I just finished reading The Shack tonight and well all I can say is Wow. If you haven't read it I recommend you read it. It really makes you think about life, relationships, and spirituality. I don't want to give anything away, but man...just go and read it.

End of an era

Yes ladies and gentlemen, Charles finally got rid of his old phone. Can you believe it? I have the evidence. Take a look at these pictures.

It's about time too! Now I can have my phone back. Thank you Kyle!

STREP

So, Thursday morning I woke up and my throat was a little sore. I gargled a little salt water and headed off to school. Well, the morning went fine, but then a lunch I could hardly swallow at all. Gradually the soreness increased. While the kids were at recess, I called my doctor to see if I could get in, nothing was open till Friday. I made it through the day and went to the school nurse. She took my temp and it was 99.1 and looked at my throat. She said it was red and said I should go to a place near school that was open till 8. So I went, and they swabbed my throat and sent me to a room to wait for a doctor. When he came in he told me I had tested positive for strep. YUCK! That meant no school for me on Friday, luckily I sorta had an idea that I may not be attending school so I already had my sub lesson done. I ran by Walgreen's, got my prescription and some Motrin and came home. I got on the computer and put in for a sub, took my medicine and went to sleep.

All I did Friday was rest and drink plenty of fluids. I don't know where I picked up strep, I am guessing school, but I haven't had it in forever. Thank goodness I am feeling so much better now. Only, I am not ready for next week at school. Ahhhh, this means I'll be headed there on Sunday. A teachers work is never done.

Updates, school, and work

It's been awhile since the last blog, so I thought I would update on the goings on in the life of the Dougherty's. Well, I have started back to work and I have a really great class this year. I am so excited. Everything is going well so far. Charles has started back to school as well for his last few classes. He will even have some field experience this fall and student teach in the spring. He is still working for TU while he's not at class.

We are enjoying being married, not much has changed. Bailey and Rowdy are still rambunchous as ever. The other day Bailey pooped on the futon and Rowdy chewed on the wall. I thought they were past these behaviors. AHHHH!
