Surprise!

Last night about 9, I was on the phone talking to my mom.  I originally called to make sure the cheesecake was supposed to be the way it looked, then we continued to blab about everything else.  Just as we were nearing the end of our conversation there was a knock at the door.  Seeing as I know very few people in this town, all of whom call instead of showing up I freaked a little.  However, when I looked to see who it was I had to scream.  It was Farmboy!!  He's great, he left work the minute he could and drove straight here, no stopping.  He'd made up all the junk about basketball games and meat competitions.  When I get around to it I'll post the pictures of what he brought with him.  Have a great Valentine's Day, I'm going to go cuddle up n watch a move w/ FB!

Need Ideas!

OK, as you all know next weekend is Valentine's Day.  Farm Boy will be here for dinner Saturday, all day Sunday, and will have to go back home Monday by lunchtime probably.  Unless I beg, plead, cry, in which case he might stay til 2.  Maybe Holly and I can gang up on him with our puppy dog eyes.

Anyway, I need some ideas.  I have a great dinner planned thanks to Pioneer Woman's flank steak and my Great Aunt Lois's cheesecake recipes.  So Saturday is good, but I don't know what to do Sunday.  I don't want to spend all my time in the kitchen, but I think we both want to stay in instead of trying to mess with dining out.  Any delicious, fairly quick or easy ideas?  Also we may need to get out of the apartment at some point over the weekend, maybe. :)  Any great inexpensive ideas for our amusement?  I thought about the Fort Worth zoo, if it's nice outside.  Well please comment and give me suggestions!

Valentine's Day update!

Farm Boy is coming!!  I couldn't be more excited.  I was whining, which I do fairly well, about not getting to see him until March.  That's when he surprised me and said he was coming down after the competition on Saturday.  I was hesitant about him driving so late and he said, and I quote, "No amount of sleep deprivation could keep me from you, dear."  Isn't he the sweetest!  I think the dear was a little sarcastic addition, but that's ok.  He makes me giggle when he calls me dear.  We were talking about pet names the other day, mostly because neither of us are super sappy.  I had a hard time trying to find something to call him when we first started dating.  We have a couple for each other, but I won't bore you all with that.  Well I'm off to disinfect my house, cuz I caught what my snotty kids had, and it hasn't been much fun.  Wishing you all a healthy weekend!

Sick kids

Apparently there's quite the bug going around our school.  Yesterday I only had 11 kiddos, then one threw up in my trash can after lunch.  Luckily he made it to the trash!  Today 3 of those are back but a different one is sick, leaving me with 4 gone.  It's hard to get much done when you have 4 to 6 kids missing.  On the bright side, it's been kind of quiet in my class, except for the coughing.  We've got parent/teacher conferences Thursday and Friday, so hopefully they will be healthy by then.  Hopefully I'll be healthy then. My throat's a little sore, any miracle fixes out there??

Bummed :(

Farm Boy and I have been talking Valentine's Day plans for the last couple weeks now.  We're still undecided.  He may have to take his FFA kids to some competition, or is it his welding kids?  Did you know they actually have welding competitions?  This was news to me, anyway he may have to work on Saturday!  What stupid man came up with the idea to put any sort of competition on Valentine's Day?!  We all know it was definitely a man not a woman!  With him working Saturday we may not get to see each other at all.  Personally, I've never been so wrapped up in celebrating the holiday exactly on the day.  This may stem from having to do birthday parties at least a week early or a week late, as to not interrupt other family's Thanksgiving plans.  Anyway, it's not the missing out on the actual Valentine's day that has me bummed, it's the idea that if we don't see each other that weekend it will be mid March for spring break!  I don't want to wait til mid March!  Ugh, living 6 hours away is no fun!  Let's all pray for all his lil buggers to tell him, "heck no we're not competing we're spending the day w/ our girls."  Cuz if they said that he'd get to come here, YAY!  OK, I'm off to grade a huge stack of papers. I'll let you know what the final Valentine's decision is, but for now I'm bummed.
