just notes

I have been the worst blogger ever...well, maybe not ever, but it's been a while and I am going to try and resume weekly/weekend blog updates with pics next time for sure.

We had a great snow day (s), and I will post pics as soon as I load them!

School has been so busy with upcoming TAKS tests....I have been so proud of my kids hard work, but it sucks to teach them how to take a test...we are missing the boat terribly on teaching our kids.  Some of the kids I have need survival skills, and lots of love.  I don't know how some parents can call themselves that the way they treat their own children.  I am no perfect parent by any means, but I know how to spend time with my children and teach them things, like learning to love to read, and enjoying outside time together...not stick them in front of an inappropriate tv show, or movie.  It amazes me when some of my 4th grade babies tell me the movies their parents let them watch....NEVER did I watch stuff like that when I was 10.  I really could go on forever about this.  Not to mention the school I teach at is terribly poor.  79% of our kids are on free and reduced lunch...some of them get their only meals at school!!  ugh! 

Anyway, that being said, they did really well on their last benchmark and I am so happy!  I have a great feeling about their tests this year.  The dreaded test is March 1st, so if you read this and remember...say a prayer!

Speaking of prayers, I am back on the trying to conceive wagon...even after my unexplained loss in October, I really believe I am supposed to have 3 kiddos.  So, like I have said before, there is no letting things happen naturally, I have to have a little assistant from some clomid.  I used to think there were maybe a handful a people who had problems conceiving...boy, in this day and age with the internet and blogs, and all types of community chats about infertility, man...there are a lot of women who try for years and go through way more than I could ever imagine.  Having these outlets, sure is nice...having someone to vent to, or ask questions about anything, these ladies have answers!!!

I have started my 1st round, and have had great successes with it in the past.  Zadie was a clomid baby and my 3rd pregnancy was a clomid baby...1st round.  Which gives me hope it will happen again soon.  However, it also makes me think that this time might be harder!  I am just praying about all of this and hoping for one more sweet little blessing.  I know it is all in HIS hands, so I am just taking things one day at a time and praying the whole way.

I am looking forward to the warmer weather...the tease we have had the last 2 days is a great reminder of the perfect spring weather...one of God's truest beauties!!
