That light at the end of the tunnel...

I have a week and half left in this semester!!! I am once again doing my little happy dance!

The past couple of weeks have been slightly entertaining. First we got to meet that precious baby Rayne. She is beyond perfect. Josh now has baby fever, it is so cute!
Second, I took Josh shopping for Christmas gifts. We shopped for SIX hours and only bought two presents...Never again!!! I wil soo go by myself from now on. Third, we had Thanksgiving. I am more of Christmas person, but Josh loves it. So like I previously said I baked an orange cake and two chocolate pies. Fourth, I hard an allergic reaction to the antibiotic for my tooth. Which of course caused me to have a panic attack bc I have never been allergic to anything!!! Bubby was always the one who was allergic to everything.

No I am patiently waiting for the end of this semester. Life will be so much more entertaining when I am not worried about finals.

Tis the Season!

Although I love Summer, this time of the year is possibly my favorite. I love spending time with my family, even if they are a bit crazy.  I also enjoy cooking, yes cooking! It kind of relaxes me.  So with Thanksgiving around the corner I have been thinking of different things that I could cook.  For Josh's side I am baking his favorite: Orange Cake.  It is extremely easy to make, and he thinks it is the bomb, so WINNER! Yes I do hand squeeze an orange to make it better.

For my family's dinner, I am making my famous chocolate pie. Yes famous. My family is convinced it is the best (and papa accidentally said that it was better than my granny's).  I actually created this recipe on my own.  I love my Granny's and Mammaw's chocolate pie, but them being grandmothers, they do not have recipes for them.  So I came up with my own.

I have no idea what I am doing for Christmas yet.  I thought about making a chocolate cake with white icing and decorating it with snowmen, but I haven't decided yet. 

For those of you who love to bake, you should check out the Cake Doctor.  It helps you create cakes that taste homemade but come from a box. 

Crazy week

So I thought that I had this whole placement thing figured out.  I decided to stay with Mrs. Baggett...but of course it could not be that simple.  Well as of right now, I am back with Mrs. McClary at North Murray..at least I won't have to drive too far.

Then I week up this morning with a tooth ache.  I have been complaining about about this tooth ever since I had it filled.  I was actually convinced that they missed up my filling.  But this morning it was worse.  So of I called the dentist to make an appointment.  The x-rayed the tooth, and then the dentist says, "You have cracked the front of your tooth."
My response, "I don't play extreme sports, so how did that happened?"
"Do you grind your teeth?"
Oh...yea..about that...
I have been grinding my teeth since I was like six. Yes I have TMJ.  Have ever bothered to wear a night guard? Nope..of course not! Guess who now has a mouth guard? Yep me.
What made it better? That I have to have a root canal, and since the  canal is so small I have to go to a specialist.  Do you know when I can have it done...not till the end of the month. FML!!!!!!!

On a better note....AMY IS PREGNANT!!!!!!! Can you tell I am a bit excited? I have been worried that I would slip up and say something before she announced it to the world (thank you for finally doing that!). So now I have two reasons for the next Summer to get here, my wedding and the arrival of Baby Miller! EEKK!! And yes I am probably more excited about Baby Miller than my own wedding haha!

Roomie Time

After the stress of having to decide where I might student teach, it was nice to have some roomie time.  Okay so we have not lived together in like three years, but she will always be my roomie.  We spent most of the time working on our invitations and finaly have it figured out.

Today we went dress shopping.  It was extremely relaxing to just stand there not be the one forced into dresses.  But she ended up finding one that looks perfect on her! Now I just need to take my other three bridesmaids to get there dresses :)

My luck

So, for the past two months DSC had led me to believe that I would return to Mrs. Noll at southeast. I have been beyond pumped about this. Today I received an email staying that principal did not want a student teacher there bc they were "reconstructing the history department."
You mean the principal who is retiring in 27 days? You mean the department who has shitty teachers besides the two amazing teachers I asked for?

Then they tell me I have two days to find a back up plan. What?!? I sorry but I didn't have a backup plan!
I talked to Mrs. Noll, the principal NEVEr told her that I could not be there. He NEVER asked her about it. He always fired Mrs. Noll from being department head while she was on maternity leave. WTF? So basically I got screwed over by a principal who is mad at the SHS history department and is leaving.

Mad probably doesn't even begin to explain how I am feeling right now.
