Today...

I was sick on Friday got better, then worse... well you know how the story goes.  By Monday night I could barely talk, had a runny nose and a huge headache.  Tuesday I had lesson plans that required limited talking so I was ok, but had almost no voice.  Today I just could not see myself whispering all day at rowdy kids, so I stayed home to rest or so I thought.  I did lots of school work and Piedmont home work and dealt with Savannah at the vets.

Steve brought me home a sweet potato biscuit made by JD Carter.
These are so good they must be sinful!

Tut was ultimately lazy.  
He pulled his bed into the yard/driveway to lay in the sun.

Savannah was the big ordeal of the day.  Her eye was swollen shut again this morning.  Steve took her to the vet Monday for the same problem, and they were unsure if it was caused by the scratch on her face or a tooth problem.  They send her home with meds and she seemed much better yesterday. This morning was another story.  I took her in and they wanted to x-ray her teeth.  She had a broken molar on the side of her face that was swollen and nasty looking roots on a molar on the other side of her mouth.  So lots of $$ later we have 2 molars in a plastic container on the counter (no I don't know what I am gonna do with them) and a slightly lethargic yet happy dog.  On a better know they said she had some of the cleanest teeth of any dogs they see!

She was much happier when she got home and was in Fishy's bed!


The whole biscuit.  It did not stay whole for long.


Fishy watching Tut lay in his mattress I put outside for him.  So spoiled.


Mom came over to bring some sewing stuff and Snuffy came with her.  

Fishy and Snuffy loved to play.

Dahlonega & the River!

We claimed today to be the first "real" day of spring.  Steve got up early and he and Ted went fishing on Lanier.  Steve caught the only fish of the day.  I did some shopping, met up with them at the Briar Patch, then Steve and I hung out in Frogtown. I spend some time sewing rag quilts for baby shower gifts and we finished the day with sushi in Dawsonville.


We fed the fish at the river.
Last night we ate dinner at Gabee's in Dahlonega.  
We sat on the porch overlooking the square.  
It was really nice and quite and the food was great as well!

What's going on... same ol', same 'ol

We obviously have not been blogging a lot lately.  I would like to say that will improve, but I am not sure that will happen until after June 18.  That is the day I finish up at Piedmont.  School, work school has been crazy.  I do not believe that I have ever worked this many hours in a month period.  I feel like I can never get caught up. I am also teaching after school.  I normally work 2 days a week, but have been filling in for other teachers, so I have been working more lately.  I am also sick, again.  I do not believe I have ever been this sick during a school year.  I was even healthier during my first year of teaching.  
Well enough of me whining.  We were sad that we only got snow flakes this past weekend and no real snow.  The weather is going to be incredible this weekend, so Steve, the dogs and I really hope to have some outdoor play time.

KOOZA

Saturday Steve and I went to see Cirque du Soleil - Kooza at Atlantic Station in Atlanta. We spent the entire day in Atlanta going to shops and places we do not normally go to like High Country and Go with the Flow.  We ate a yummy lunch at Pappadeaux in Alpharetta and a late dinner at the Varsity.

The show was awesome!  We both said we wanted to go to other Cirque du Soleil shows in the future.  We could not take photos so I highjacked theses off the internet, but the image below was a favorite and most amazing part of both of our experiences.  These women were -wow- often times you could not tell what was their back and what was their stomach.

If a show is in your area you should make plans to go see it!
