It's only a broken heart...and a little bit of anger

*****Warning this post is quite long*****

I know I say this all the time, but it's true. I've been busy. Teaching and working at AmbCoach eat up most of my time these days. I really do love subbing. AmbCoach is really sucking lately. Some of my co-workers are being big babies and causing too much drama in my life. I hate being there.

About 2 weeks ago, one of my coworkers broke into my desk and told the owner that I was lying on my time sheet, which was a big pile of horse poop! I was soooooo angry when I found out. I decided to leave a note on the inside of my desk for whomever it was...because I knew they would do it again. Well, my note wasn't nice, and I was hoping that person would understand how I felt without having to confront them. I knew who did it and the thing that makes me mad is that I helped her move when she left her abusive husband and have offered her help whenever she needs it. So that's how she decided to repay me.

Anyway...someone (not the person who broke into my desk) was helping me by doing some of my work because I was subbing all week saw the note and told the B*#$@ that broke into my desk that it was there. Well, then she told my boss who I had a talk with this week. My boss said there is no prblem with me and she is not worried about me lying on my time sheet and that she knows the problem lies with the person who broke into my desk.

On another note...I'm not pregnant...again.
If you remember, back in March, I had bloodwork done to see if I was pregnant...which I wasn't then either. If you don't remember, read here first...and this was the follow-up to that post.

I had MORE bloodwork done on the 11th...remember I HATE NEEDLES...I told the girl at the lab to just stick me with the needle and take the blood and not to tell me when she was going to stab my arm, I wouldn't move. Well...she did it...and no blood came out. So then another girl had to come over and re do it. She said "a little pinch" then stabbed the hell out of my arm. She rolled the darn needle around and I still have a freakin bruise from it. Dumb girl!

The reason I had the bloodwork done is because I haven't had a period in 2 months and he had told me to monitor my cycles...well, clearly there hasn't been anything to monitor. So...I called Dr. Stever's office and talked to Chris, the receptionist, who faxed paper work over to the lab for me to have bloodwork done because they wanted to make sure I wasn't pregnant before they put me on any meds.

Well, after the bloodwork, I waited to hear from Dr. Stever again. He called me while I was teaching last Friday and said No, no baby, again. And yet again, my heart broke into a thousand tiny little pieces...even though I was pretty sure that I wasn't pregnant this time. So he wrote me a prescription for Provera to take for 10 days so that I can have a period...though it won't make me ovulate. Hopefully it'll get my body back into the swing of things and I won't have to go on fertility drugs. *Fingers Crossed*

While on the subject of fertility drugs...Bobby's cousin Kendi, who was having the same sorts of problems was on fertility drugs and now she's pregnant with TWINS...possibly TRIPLETS! Could you imagine? It would be totally awesome to just have all your kids at once and not have to go through another pregnancy...but at the same time, the house would be chaotic with 3 kids of the same age getting into everything all the time. I don't know how she's going to do it...but I know she's going to be an awesome mom.

----- END SARAH'S PITTY PARTY-----

Last night we had a bonfire in our back yard. It was a perfectly beautiful night filled with family and friends. We had about 20 people here and had a great time. I don't think we came in until about 2 am. I slept until 11:45 this morning...which I NEVER do.

This afternoon, Ben, Erika, and Cooper came to visit us at our new house for the first time! We haven't seen them since New Years' at their new house. Cooper has grown up so much, it's unbelievable! He'll be 2 this August and he's a walking, talking wonder! He even asked me to pick him up so he could look at our fish and I carried him around the house for a little while. He is so funny and totally awesome. We don't see them enough. Erika is due in a month and a half with their second little one. She's having a girl this time and I'm so excited for them!

Well, I think I don't think there's much else to share and it's about time to put another load of laundry in. Enjoy the rest of your long weekend everyone.

Don't forget to remember those who fight for our country and lose their lives to protect our freedom on Monday.

Nighty Night.

Happy Mother's Day!!

To all you mom's out there...Happy Mother's Day!
You all deserve a day to relax and be with your families.

I am so thankful to have so many "moms" in my life. I have 3 grandmas, plus my husband's 2 grandmas, my mother and my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law who is an AMAZING mother. Not to mention my aunts and his aunts.

There are also the women who have been "moms" to me. I have called my best friend's mom "mom" since JR. High, and JohnAllen's mom is a mom to us as well. All of our friends' mothers are amazing women who do so much for all of them. I can't ever thank any of them enough for all they've done for us as we grew up and while we are starting our lives together. They've all supported everything we've done and back us up 100% (most of the time).

I hope that some day soon I can join the ranks of motherhood and share the good things they have shared with me with my children.

Also, a friend of mine shared this video with me today...it's Love Story by Taylor Swift and Viva La Vida by Coldplay on the Piano and Cello. It's beautiful. Hope you enjoy it!

This might be a long one!

I know I say this all the time, but I have been so busy lately.
It's been a long time since I've written on here because I've been subbing and working so much.

The 20th was my 25th birthday. It was a wonderful day. I baked 4 dozen cupcakes for the 5th graders I was teaching that week and they were delicious! They were cookies and cream cupcakes! They had oreos in the batter, and half had chocolate icing, and the other half had vanilla icing. I put a quarter of an oreo on top of them. The kids loved them and so did we! I will for sure make them again!
Bobby got me all 4 of the Twilight books...I haven't started reading them yet because I'm finishing "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert. It's very good. But I really, really, really want to read my Twilight books!!
I got some other stuff from my mom, Noelle and Fran. My mom got me a swag to hang in the living room and some plates for a plate rack I got from my Home Interior Party. Noelle got me the movie Bed Time Stories. I watched it with the kids at school. It's so funny, I loved it! Fran got me a gift card for Old Navy so I can get some new clothes for school/work!

The whole week of my birthday I subbed at Penns Manor for a 5th grade teacher while she was out having surgery. What a blast those kids were! I love 5th grade because you can make fun of them and they make fun of you right back. They're so funny. I really didn't want to leave them at the end of last week!

Last Saturday we had a fire in the backyard with our friends. Diana was here visiting from Kentucky so we had to do something while she was here. We had way too much to drink that night and I had a hangover on Sunday morning! We were being so goofy that night, but we had a great time with our friends!
Last Sunday, the 26th, we had Janelle's birthday dinner. Her birthday is the 27th, but we had dinner a day earlier like we did for mine. We had a nice dinner outside and then we took Taryne down to the pond to feed the fish. We spent almost 2 hours by the pond and I got some really nice pictures. She was also blowing out the candles on Janelle's birthday cake 100 times because she loves to sing "happy birthday" and blow candles out. It's so cute! She was also trying to blow bubbles...we all ended up doing it for her and she would pop them.

We went to my boss's son's wedding last night. I was not looking forward to it at all! I thought it was going to be soooo boring and we would be home by 7. We ended up getting pretty buzzed because the bartender - Sparky - was mixing the drinks half and half. They were so strong that we were all just about drunk on 2 drinks before dinner! It was pretty funny. We had a ton of fun with my co-workers and their spouses/significant others. We all stayed until the end of the reception (9:30) and I think it would be fun to have them over to our house this summer for a big party. Of course, I forgot my camera last night...but my battery was completely dead and I neglected to charge it. Oh well...Fran had her camera.

Today, we had Bobby's grandma's birthday party at Fran's house. We didn't have the nicest weather, but it was nice to spend the day with family. No pictures from day...I used Fran's camera for her all day because she was so busy being hostest with the mostest!

And finally...Yesterday, Jenni FINALLY had her baby. Christopher Grant Bush was born at 10:29 on Saturday morning. He was 9lb 5 oz, 20 1/2 inches. He is a biiiiiiiggggg baby! But absolutely adorable. We haven't been to the hospital to see them yet, but should be going tomorrow night.Well...that's it! Hopefully I'll be updating sooner than later next time! The school year is almost over...1 month to go! Take care!
