Yesterday was our Parent/Teacher conference at Tanner's school. We got a great report-she has all A's and one B (which is a 89%!)...although her English teacher didn't have any grades figured for her (I'll talk on that in a minute). We had to decide which electives she wants to take next year at the Junior High. Her homeroom teacher just bragged and bragged on Tanner and how hard she's worked this year. In fact she said "If we had a room full of Tanner's, our jobs would be so much easier and much more pleasant!" Oh, and her Science teacher recommended her for Pre-AP Science next year-how cool is that, huh!? Currently she has a 98% in Science, which just floors me. Needless to say, we are so very proud of our girl and how hard she's worked in school this year.

I am a bit irritated by the fact that we don't have any English grades. My theory on that (and I apologize in advance to all the teacher folk out there) is that there have been five weeks in the quarter-the least you, as the teacher, can do is enter a few grades so the parents have an idea of where the child stands! I don't think that's too much to ask. I emailed her teacher this morning but of course, heard nothing back. I will give it until lunch tomorrow and then I'll make a phone call. We'll see what happens.

Steve isn't feeling good at all. He was fine up until he went out and cut some trees down on Sunday afternoon. He was out only an hour and a half at most and came in a'snottin', a'sneezin' and feeling pretty darn icky. It's now all stuck in his head and he sounds miserable. He immediately started on the allergy meds, but that didn't seem to do much. The Dr gave him some antibiotics today and we'll see if those help. Poor guy.

I'm still feeling a bit out of sorts lately. Just kind of down in the dumps, not sleeping well, irritable, not content with work, etc-you know the general stuff. Not sure what the deal is. I'm still going to go with the whole "my hormones are out of whack" for another two weeks until I can get into the Dr and get my blood work done. I'm just so thankful that my hubby is patient with me and loves me despite my moodiness. That's definitely NOT something I have to worry about and instead a HUGE blessing and help. Thanks babe!

Tanner went today and got her wires changed out on her braces. This is the first time since he put them on that we've gotten the wires changed. I'm telling you, her teeth look so much better already, I can't wait to see what the finished project looks like! She goes back on April 1 and the Ortho is going to take out the two screws that are currently in her upper jaw and move them up a little. Right now they are resting, basically on the tooth and he wants her back upper jaw to move up just a little bit more before he takes the screws out for good. This stuff is so fascinating to me and I just love our Ortho. He's done such a good job.

I'm fighting yet another headache tonight. I've started to keep track of my headaches so that I can take my calendar to the Dr and talk to him about those as well. I wonder if it's hormonal just like everything else right now.

We are under a tornado watch and a flash flood watch tonight. Seems there are some pretty ferocious storms in Oklahoma and they are heading this way. Our fabulous city (insert sarcasm) has yet to announce a "clean up plan" therefore there is still limbs, brush and huge branches all over the streets and sidewalks. A lot of this debris is blocking drainage ditches, so that's why they are concerned with the flooding. Should be an interesting night.

I think I'm going to call it a night. I'm going to put Tanner to bed then head to the bathroom for a nice hot bath and then I'm crawling into bed next to my hubby. Sounds like the perfect thing to do on a chilly, rainy night.

Thanks for letting me be random.
