Response to TIffany's Blog

Okay...so...maybe Tiffany was right and so was everyone else who gave props to using a Neti Pot or SinuCleanse. My mom and sister new that after painting my future niece's bedroom my sinuses were starting to get the best of me. It took my sister showing me how to use it in order for me to actually try it too. I was scared because I didn't want to have the feeling like I was drowning. I went ahead and did it a couple times in a row. The one side of my nose is clear and the other is almost there. The funniest part of the whole thing is that my 2 and 1/2 year old nephew sat there through my sister and me doing it. (Okay that sounds bad...anyways...) I would swear by this thing now. It is SO useful and will probably get use it quite often since I have allergy issues ALL the time- it seems like. Not only did I do it while my nephew watched, but afterwards, thanks to Tiffany, Dave went on YouTube. He found the like actual video of how to use it, but then there is more. The 'more' part is these 'exercises' that you do after you use it. To start, you bend forward, like your upper body is at like 90 degrees. You turn your head from side to side and this is suppose to get the rest of the water out of your head. AND OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!! I bent over and tilted my head, there was a huge puddle of water on the floor. I just burst out laughing because I didn't expect what the ladie did in the video would help anything. I was wrong! Then you also do another way, but OH MY GOSH! Yeah...if you have issues, go buy one! It works wonders.

Have I ever told you...

Wow! Long time no blog, huh? It's been awhile again. What has happened since I wrote last? I am onto my second long-term substitute job. The first one went by very quickly. That school actually offered me a full-time teaching job for next year, but I declined. I know that I am meant to go and teach in a public school now. I really like where I am at now and could see myself there or in a similar school like it for a long long long time. I have applied to several school districts throughout a lot of southern Wisconsin. Most of them have been for Kindergarten through 3rd grade- as that is what my license covers. I like teaching Kindergarten, but I think that I would LOVE to teach 2nd or 3rd grade. My mom and dad are kinda happy that I turned it down too, but for other reasons. My sister has been having a little bit of trouble with her second pregnancy. Please pray for her and the baby to remain healthy! Landon is doing great. He has grown up so much and is really working on his colors, ABCs and 123s! What a big boy! We went down to visit Erin in Gilberts, Il. a couple of weeks ago. It was nice to be there, but I agree with her that no one can be sick or have any issues when we go down there again. Her place is nice and I think that we should look for something like that when we finally move. However, I still like the idea of finding a fixer-upper to get a big chunk of my student loans paid off when we resell! My parents are doing well too. Other than working and trying to find the love and fun in my life is all that I have been up to. Hopefully I won't take so long to write next time. Peace!
