Embarrasing admission

So, I have an embarrasing thing to admit. I remember all the teachers I know talk about tenure when I was younger. Talk, but not write it down. I always thought they were saying ten-year. And I thought they were excited about ten-year because they had a guaranteed job for ten years. Made sense to me, and I never saw it spelled, so I never questioned it. I never really thought about it much, until I saw something about it online recently, and was wondering what tenure was. After seeing it used in a sentence, I came to realize, that I am just dumb. lol


On a side note, I took some pictures of my friend Lianne recently. I am having a few technical problems with my camera that I can hopefully iron out, so the exposure was completely terrible, and I couldn't do much to fix or salvage many of the pictures other than what I could do in LightRoom/Photoshop. Here are a few of the ones that are semi ok! I was also just playing around with a watermark, honestly cause it gave me the option, so I took it. I dont know if I'll stick with the name or anything, but it was a fun little thing to add.

    Don't feel bad. I thought the same thing...all the way up until I became a teacher! I thought the same thing with euthanasia. When I heard people say it, I thought they were talking about youth in Asia. So in like political/ethical conversations and people would ask "What do you think about euthanasia?" I thought, "I guess they are fine..."

    silly me...

Ectopic Rupture

Image
     So, today I had a follow up with my Cardiologist.  "What in the world do you have a cardiologist for" is most peoples response to that.  On the 4th of July I ended up having emergency surgery for a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.  I thought it was food poisoning, which is why we waited so long to go to the emergency room, which is why I came very close to not living through this seemingly trivial medical condition.  Anyway, at the cardiologist, they took my vitals, and everything looks good.  But I saw the nurse practitioner today who was not there for the surgery and had no clue what happened, so he asked me to explain what happened leading up to the surgery and my need for a cardiologist.       I explained: I thought I had food poisoning.  We realized it was probably something more serious when I was fainting every time I tried to stand up.  About at this point all my memories are fuzzy at best....

My soapbox

Image
I really don't get on here often enough, though it is more often than I write in my own journal. Rob and I are sitting here on the couch, each in our own respective little world. Me surfing the web, and reading my latest novel... this one is the 5th installment of the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, which I highly recommend. I have fallen in love with the characters and story lines! I could really move to Scotland after this! Rob is (I hope I don't embarrass him here) reading the first novel of Twilight! He has Twilight in one hand, and a thesaurus in the other hand...lol. I guess he is just trying to get his vocab up...though I don't know if I could really get into a book if I was stopping every other sentence and looking things up. I am glad he is trying though. He really does make me proud with how hard is is trying to improve his mind (or maybe just try to understand why I like the books so much...equally sweet), and get a job and provide for the lit...

Oh Happy Day

Well, I've made the big reveal already.  Perhaps a few days earlier that would be "socially acceptable," but I couldn't help myself!  From the minute I found out I was pregnant, I wanted to scream it out to the world!  Today I am 11 weeks 5 days pregnant!  It feels almost like a miracle, there were times that I really thought it might never happen. It all started on Valentines Day.  I knew it would be a little early to test, but due to the special day, I thought I'd try anyway, just in case. I tried a cheapo test first, and when I thought I saw a second line, but couldn't quite tell, I almost went crazy.  I dug out my special test I was saving for when I really thought it might be possible, and tried it right away.  When that "pregnant" sign came up, I clapped my hand over my mouth and stood like that for about 10 full minutes.  I didn't know what to do, and my mind wasn't processing anything in that moment. I decided that it was the perf...
