Just get me through it!

The past few days have seemed exhausting, but exciting!!! Well... most of it...

First, Katie and I had to somewhat quickly decide on an apartment, and ended up finding a beautiful one! It's brand new, super nice, and great for just us two! We already have the keys and signed our lease last week!

Then, Friday morning I arrive at school seeing about 5 cop cars, and realizing that something was wrong. Needless to say, we were on lock down for about an hour and a half because of a "threat" from a student via text message that was eventually sent to tons of kids in our school! Every locker, student, bag, and especially every cell phone was checked. It was no fun and led to a pretty disruptive day... apparently it was taken care of, but still, yesterday and today, they had to keep doing some checks of students and lockers. A kid is obviously wanting out of school badly, and by doing so, they are putting our school's name on the line, not to mention our name on the front page of the paper multiple days in a row. THANKS!

Saturday morning I ventured out, alone, to buy new furniture!!!!! Then.... I abruptly realized that buying brand new furniture is not a possibility. Soo... I went to the next best thing-our great, used furniture store in town. I ended up purchasing several great pieces of furniture that look fabulous together, with the help of Teddie's opinion, of course! It was delivered today and I'm so excited!

I did have the privilege to go on a reward field trip yesterday to see the new Prince Caspian movie-and I must say, it was great! Very entertaining, humorous, with some deep symbolism as well. Our kids really liked it too.

Now, my goal this week is to keep my kids from driving me crazy and to not hurt each other. Please Lord, let me get through 3 more days with these wild children!
