Conferences, Conferences, and more Conferences

During the week I was in the Mississippi, all of the other teachers were given two half days out of school to complete their parent conferences. Since I missed that, I had to use every spare moment on Monday, Tuesday, and some of Wednesday to meet with my children's parents and give them their report cards. Talk about exhausting! So this is why it has been about a week since my last entry. I was able to get a lot of sleep at night, but the days would drain me of everything. I also had double the paper work and grading to do because of my absence. All is well now, and the weekend is welcomed with open arms!

Nothing else really took place this week besides school and basketball practices. Aaron was sick on Wednesday. The doctor says it is Tonsillitis, but he disagrees. :) He is feeling much better now, but he felt pretty crummy there for a while. I am trying not to be his mother, but he is terrible about taking medicine. Then again, I am not sure of any man who is! Please pray that the Lord will help him recover.

One last pray request for the day. I have realized that I have (but have not been officially diagnosed with) TMJ, or lockjaw. Over the last 6 months to a year, it has gotten steadily worse. For some reason, Honduras (or maybe just the timing) has made it sometimes unbearable. Please pray that the Lord will take away the pain and give me a way to be able to deal with it. I am wearing something at night, and it helps a little. Weather also affects it, and the weather changes in MS and here have sent me for a whirlwind. Not only does my jaw hurt and lock, but the inflammation in my jaw makes it feel like I have an ear infection sometimes. I know that is probably more than you want to know, but please just remember me in your prayers. God Bless!
