The Family Genes!!

So busting up knees is something my whole family must do. Mine is finally getting back to normal. I even ran u[ 2 flights of stairs at P.T. last week and get to kick around a soccer ball this next week at P.T. My Physical therapist said I should be discharged soon!! I am soo excited. Especially since they told me I could still come in whenever I want to used the treadmill and bike and stuff!! YEAH!! I will actually be able to take off these extra pounds I have put on since not being able to exercise since my surgery!!

But just as I am getting better, my dad decides to go and get a total knee replacement. In case you don't know what that is, they actually cut out your whole knee, bone and all, and replace it with a metal knee. It is pretty intense surgery, so that means that I am the temporary father at home running errands and doing everything my dad would normally do. I am not complaining because it keeps me busy (which is something I like better than sitting on my fat duff), but doesn't give me a lot of time to do what I want to do or play with friends!! I need to move out!! I know.

On a side note I am substitute teaching to bring in extra cash and have a job about everyday. I've decided I like high school and elementary school, but not too fond of junior high!! They all have attitudes!! I have officially become Ms. BooBoo since none of my kids (including High schoolers) can remember Ms. Hutchings!! I don't think it is that hard do you?! I love it, but am looking forward to getting my credential and having my own class and own classroom to decorate. I can't help but look at all the different classrooms I teach at and see how I would set it up differently and decorate it differently and make it soo much cuter!! I can't wait!!

I still get to hang out with my family though and love my little brother and sister to pieces. I think they are going to have a hard time when I move out. Especially my little sister. Maybe I can take her with me when I officially decide I have had enough and just up and leave!! I love cheering at my little brother's football games, but want to go in my high school color sometime and confuse the heck out of people!! Hehehehehe!!

Anyone who knows my family knows that our one car garage has turned into the storage unit for all the extra crap we don't have room for upstairs, which in laman's terms means it's a junk heap. Well, we had a black stray cat hanging around our garage for a little while meowing. One day my brother went down there and saw a tiny grey face in our garage. We think the stupid cat had kittens in our garage. We aren't sure and it is such a mess we can't search. But now our house has a funky smell in it and we are scared that the kittens died!! Time for a good spring (fall? winter?) cleaning!! GROSS!!!

Berlyn,
I am visiting my gpa in Sacramento on Sat.(1/19) and flying home on Mon. (1/21). Don't know if you actually check this much, but it's the only thing I could think of to let you know. Email me and I will give you my cell # so that maybe we could meet up.
