Hello, friendly readers.
I have not:
A. jumped off the bridge
B. abandoned modern life for living in a tree house, wearing animal skins
C. been "unfound" in a VERY long game of Hide 'n' Seek.
D. been taken hostage by crazy sophomores, and forced to teach science or math
I just haven't felt like I've had much to post about, really. I go to sign in to blog, and then I sit there with a big case of writer's block.
There just hasn't been much going on around the ranch lately.
Well, I take that back. Here's an update for the past month for you all, and an especial shout out to Navy Girl's Mumma. NGM....ONLY ONE WEEK TO WICKED AND TWO WEEKS TO CRAFT-O-RAMA!!!
TWP: ONLY TWO WEEKS UNTIL WE FINALLY MEET! I'm very excited!!!!!!
Anyway....
*Kitty has been sick since Christmas with earaches. Yesterday was the last day of her fourth consecutive antibiotic. Farmer took her to the dr. today to get her ears checked again.....and the infection still isn't gone. GRRRRR. So we are now going to an ear specialist to get it figured out. But we can't get in for two weeks. another GRRRRRR. but Dr. says that this could be the reason that her vocabulary is delayed----you can't learn to mimic and repeat if you can't hear what the original speaker is saying---and also for delaying her walking. She can't find her balance.
Talk about mommy guilt. I thought she was just being lazy. whoops.
So, we'll have an answer in two weeks. Thank God. M y poor kitty. my heart hurts when she doesn't feel well.
*The Farm has been quiet. just gearing up for spring and planting season. Farmer hurt his ankle this morning climbing the silo, so now he's in an air cast. Huzzah. i'm just glad this didn't happen in the summer time.
*Teaching has been going great. The kids are good, but sadly, and this is my fault, they aren't as great as last semester. Last semester was a version of Camelot (well, before the whole Guenevere and Lancelot fiasco) so it's hard to top them.
*grad school has been a bit light lately, huzzah, so it's giving me time to do some personal reading. I demolished the Nanny Diaries last week, which was a good read. I got so mad at the parents that I had to "put it in the freezer" (ok, not really, but I did have to put it down for awhile), but now I'm on to Choke Creek, which is also an excellent read. I'm almost done with it, and it's super recommendable.
OK. that's all I have. I promise to post more often. Honest, NGM. I will provide Farmer's Wife updates on a more regular basis.

Welcome back! My mother will be so pleased :)
YES! The students untied you and allowed you back into society! My fear for you, (which is my greatest fear as well,) was that you had been suffocated under a massive pile of papers and books, and no one realized you were gone! Can't wait until Sunday, just sorry Kitty won't be part of the party.
Oh, poor Kitty! Good luck with the specialist--here's hoping you can get her all sorted out quickly and painlessly!!! (FYI, Brent didn't talk until he was two--we had him tested thinking he might be hearing impaired--he was just slow to talk and as you well know, now he never is quiet).
I am with you on the Nanny Diaries almost getting the freezer;)
Haha, I'm glad to see that you're back as well! Good to know you've got our whole clan waiting with bated breath for your next post :)
Have fun at Wicked and Craft Fest '09 - wish I could be there!
