1st Day of School

I just got done reading everyone's 1st Day of School Blogs and thought I would blog about it as well.
Coaching and Teaching is a ton of fun and a ton of work. It takes a special kind of person to coach a fall sport and I am just that special...mmm...special. Maybe a little crazy, a little "special" and a little masochistic. I love my girls and am enjoying pre-season. My classroom is full of energized 5th graders who are eager to learn. (at least I hope they are eager to learn;)
We are on day 3 here is where I am at:
It has been 7 weeks since surgery. I am encountering new challenges each day and trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. My scale is broken so I am not sure if I am loosing or gaining weight so hopefully the menu I choose each day is working out.
My tummy is adjusting OK to the new schedule.
Now with that said, I feel AMAZING!!!! This is the first year in three years that I did not spend part of my first three days throwing up and trying to figure out what I can and can not eat! It is the first time I have gone to practices after school with energy and able to finish practice without having to take a puke break.
I am excited about feeling better and I am excited about the positive changes within me and in Squirrel land. I can not wait for this year to get underway and really take off!
Here is my first day of school picture:
 OK, I was a little lazy and did not get up before six. Bill had to leave so he took a quick pic before so I had a first day of school picture:)
I am now off to a church meeting. We are building a new church and I am on the building committee. It is so exciting and awesome!
Have I mentioned I love my life?!?!?!?!

Gus is Hitting the Bottle

As I was sitting on the couch watching TV and surfing the World Wide Web I did not notice Gus's activity next to me. When Bill arrived home after an eventful call into work he noticed!

Here is what Gus does on an average Saturday evening...

It is kind of sick and twisted.
