Root Canal Misery

So I finally went and got my root canal done only to be told I actually needed two instead of one. The second one hurt a lot worse then the first but thankfully today my gums are only a little sore from it all. My legs are tired from teaching all day though. I can't wait till November and staying home for a little while after the baby is born.

The picture to the side is a picture Ben took while we were flying the rest of the pictures are just random pictures we have taken.

Good news:

Ben was always too cheap to let us buy cable for our TV but because our TV is really old we had to buy a digital converter box and now instead of getting two fuzzy channels we actually are able to get 10 crystal clear channels. A small visctory for me and I told Ben it was like staying at a hotel with free cable. I was very excited about the improvement.

School Year

So for the past three weeks I had not felt well at all. I had severe back pain which I contribute to sciaticaand hormones. After, going to two doctors one being a muscular specialist the best answer I got was take this pain killer and it is because of pregnancy. Needless to say I was miserable. Ben and I had been praying about it for a long time finally on Sunday God answered our prayers and my debilitating severe back pain went away. I still have aches and pains but nothing as intense. Also last week I got an abscess tooth so I went the dentist they gave me some medicine and tomorrow I have to get root canal done. I worry about the antibiotics and pain medicines I was taking hurting the baby but the doctor reassures me it is baby safe. Please pray my baby is okay.

School started two weeks ago and I am now teaching sixth graders. I like them a lot more than eighth graders. They make me laugh nearly everyday. A couple funny stories....

#1) I was absent one day last week going to the dentist and the kids took upon themselves to feed my fifteen fish in the fish tank. Well since I teach six different classes they got fed six different times. Let's just say they got overfed plus the automatic feeder them . So the next day I went back to school and 3 fish had died. I told a little boy in my class to get a net and go take he fish the big ocean. After school the janitor came to tell me he found three fish in the boys urinal.

#2) A little boy came in on Friday all excited carrying a small wrapped cardboard box in his hand. He came to me explained to me it was a World Series Cardinals baseball ring because his dad and him had been the Cardinals game the previous night. He then asked if he could show everyone not having enough time I told him to wait till he came back to study hall at the end of the day and to put it in his locker. Around lunch time I went out in the hall and I noticed the tallest sixth grader holding a sign and patrolling back in forth in front of this little boys locker. When I questioned the little boy what the other boy was doing he said he was his body guard and he was keeping an eye on his ring. He was holding a sing that read, "No treeassing" I laughed forever and then took the time to teach them how to spell trespassing.

#3) A little girl also told me that she had something to show the class wanting to be fair in letting kids show things I agreed and said, "Okay quickly." She then got up in the front of the room and started dancing and singing the most hideous song I have ever heard. The lyrics were, "I like my hair, You like my hair, My hair is rare, I take good care.... of my hair." All while flipping her hair and her hips. She also had another little boy in the class as back up singing " Ohhhhh Awww" Afterwords she said, " I made the song up on my own as if I we could not tell. I just wanted it to end.

Busy

So I meant to write on this last week but about two weeks ago I woke up on a Sunday morning and realized I had intensed rib and back pain. I could hardly walk or stand for about a week. So I went to the doctor this past Monday and got a couple cortosine shots to help with the rib pain. I was hoping that would eliminate the pain. Although it did not eliminate it completely it helped descreased it slightly. So looks like I will be back at the doctor again this week for the same reason. Although, my doctor keeps telling me it is just because my ligaments are stretching and that can inflame your ribs I am just worried because several other people have told me they did not have any pain like this during pregnancy.
On another note school started this past Thursday on the seventh so although we have just meting until this Thursday when the kids come it has kept me busy . If you have any helpful tips about my rib pain please let me know .
