Hi!
The weather has turned a little colder. I'm so happy!

My shoulder froze up again, sadly. The in-laws have definitely come in handy yet again... I had run out of Valium.

Total drama with some kids at school is keeping me busy. Whilst snooping this afternoon Liz and I ran into some students downtown (totally skipping) - and instead of avoiding us they came by to say hi. Sometimes, after having such a fun and kooky conversation with students outside school, I feel guilty when I turn them in later... but something tells me they knew it would happen anyway. Plus, I don't think they could hate me.

Did a lot of talking again about condoms and sex and douching and all sorts of nastiness today. Taught the kids how to roll a condom. As one friend puts it, "You're definitely not teaching in a Utah school." No doubt, thank goodness. Studies show that kids will start having sex at the same age regardless, but that if they've had decent education about it they'll have lower pregnancy/STD rates. It's a tricky subject to teach, so I give plenty of disclaimers and I choose my words carefully... but it's nice to feel I might actually be doing a service to humanity in some small way.

Hubby makes the best dinners!

I'm terrified of swine flu. I need to get both the shots. There's kids at school whose family members are being diagnosed. It's totally hitting us. I'm terrified. !!!

Last week I went to see my grandparents. I also saw my aunt and took a day trip to Yellowstone. It was such a nice trip, regardless of the 30 hours I spent in the car (hence my shoulder). Also, I saw one of my oldest friends, Ariane, in Boise. Such great times were had by all! I posted pics to my flickr account. :)

Because I'm pregnant I had to get a regular flu shot, then I have to get a swine flu shot, then I have to get an updated flu shot in the spring after everything has mutated. I asked if I could get out of all those needles by just avoiding public transportation and my OB GYN said no, I still have to get all of those shots. Sucks.

Day 8 with H1N1 (swine flu), and it is hard, unlike anything I have ever had. Even cholera was gone after three days, but this one is kicking my butt. Thank goodness for Jessica- who tested negative for some crazy unknown reason. When I got my results, I felt vindicated, because I just kept getting worse and worse... It won't kill me but it sure slowed me down.

Have you been able to get any physical therapy for your frozen shoulder? I know it helped to make mine more tolerable. I hope your shoulder gets better.
