Another Day in Paradise

It's been a while I know, but life has just been insane. 

We opened the office about a week and a half ago.  Doing pretty good, several patients and more to come.  Wish I had more time to spend there, but with school going on it's understandable. 

The girls are having a good time at school.  Took a little while for Maggie to get adjusted to pottying at school, but it's better now I think. 

Picked up my Master's degree last weekend in St. Louis - wish they had just mailed it to me, but it was good to see everyone again. 

Had a patient bring me goat's milk and goat's milk yogurt.  The yogurt was great - didn't get brave enoguh to try the milk though.  It's so funny that the kids here have had almost no exposure to culture.  They had no idea that milk could come from something other that hormone and steroid loaded cows and the hummus was chickpeas ground up. 

Slowly but surely bringing a little excitement in...several new students from the local public school - anxious to see how they are going to do in my classes.

Gotta get back to work...

Ugh, so tired!

Yesterday, Mom and I worked at the office - still not finished, but so very very close.  Waiting on the computer - it should be ready tomorrow.  Looking for a rug that will fit in a 9X14 room. 

First day of school today, wonder if the girls will be as tired as I am.  County wide peprally tonight.  Hoping to collapse on the couch afterwards, may not even make it to bed...

First Day of In Service

Today was our first day of in-service at Central.  Josh and I both were late to the faculty meeting even though Josh was not required to go.  It was also Abbie's first day at daycare here at the school. 

Going to pick her up in a little while...

Borrowed a staple gun from Coach Sciple to staple the fabric to the ceiling at the office.  Hoping to get that finished tomorrow.  Had my phone installed yesterday and got my modem in the mail this morning.  Talked to someone about letterhead, envelopes and cards today.  Will hopefully have a proof by the end of the week.  It may all come together despite all odds. 

The best thing about this entire situation is that my work as far as school is done - lesson plans, etc. - and there is someone to watch Abbie during the day.  The next several days should be pretty productive!  I have got to get my final paper finished and sent to Logan so I can graduate on the 20th.  That and the office are high priorities this week. 

Where's Maggie?  At my grandparents, enjoying her last long term time with them for a while.  Kind of somber about the whole thing...
