Eh.

So I just went through and read everybodys blogs. Whew! That's what happens when I drop off the face of the earth for several days!

I feel like my life has been busy with mostly boring things. Or things that I don't really want to take the time to write about. I'm starting to feel like I'm dipping into a low. I'm running low on energy and feel like I'm running all the time. Even the things that are supposed to be fun don't seem as fun lately. They seem like obligations. Isn't that terrible?

Work has felt really busy. I feel like I'm never ahead of myself. I'm always making lists of the things I have to do. And we leave for DC on Tuesday. Which I am really looking forward to because it means 4 days away from the building. There's even been some teacher drama in the 8th grade. I'm trying to be a grownup about the situation, but when you teach 8th grade....sometimes you tend to act like an 8th grader. I've been working really hard this week to get over the problem and stop being petty. I don't really want to get into it here.

Home is okay. The house feels dusty. I never noticed the dust in my old house. I feel like I notice it everywhere here. We got invisible fence for the dogs. It's stressing me out majorly. Maggie is terrified of the zap and wants to be picked up every time it gets her. We have to keep following the training though or they say the dogs will never learn. Morrie ignores the zap. I'm worried we will have to turn the voltage up on his collar. And that bothers me. The whole concept kind of bothers me. That we're zapping our dogs. My head tells me it's not that bad and that once they get used to it, it's a much cheaper way to keep them contained without supervision. My heart feels awful. These dogs are my kids. I don't have any kids. So when I see my furry kids get zapped, it makes me sad.

Kendall is, as always, great. Sure he gets on my nerves sometimes and we bicker occassionally, but he still remains the best thing that has ever happened to me. He's so patient. In so many ways. And he loves me so well. I'm always so amazed at the number of people we know that have had failed marriages. Because it doesn't matter how bad things get or how mad we are with each other, I never worry that he'll leave me. And I always know that he loves me. Thank God for the Kendalls of the world. :)

Here is my quick list of things I've done lately that I don't really want to write about, but thought you might like to read:
1. We went to the Troy vs. Piqua Game with Kendall's co-workers last Friday. AMAZING game. Troy won by one point at the 4th quarter "buzzer"!
2. We went out drinking afterwards- FINALLY something I have in common with these people!
3. We did a 5 K last Saturday. We walked. Took us 55 mins. Kendall still placed 2nd in his age group because so few people came. LOL! He even got a medal. I'll post a picture of it later.
4. We went to THE BEST corn maze with old neighbors on Sunday. We plan on going again to it this Saturday with our new neighbors.
5. Does anyone else's neighborhood do the little ghost/phantom candy game? We've been hit three times! You're only supposed to be hit once! LOL!
