Well, Rick and I just got home from Belize City. I got to spend a few days in the hospital. Yeah me. I had a cyst on my ovary rupture, which doesn't feel good let me tell you. While I was getting all of my tests done it also came to light that I have bilateral kidney disease as well. The good news is that my kidneys are still functioning like they should, and with some dietary changes I can keep them that way for a long, long time. So good news with bad, yes, they found it, but at the earliest point so that I can keep it under control.
One family's adventure from suburban American life to the exotic Caribbean lifestyle of Belize.

First Day of High School
Well today was my first day of high school, as a teacher that is. It went fairly well. I have ten students, eight boys and two girls. Most of them seem bright and eager, a couple looked like they would rather be napping and one who seemed to think he should be teaching the class. I think he might be my problem child. For those who want to learn, I am there to teach, for those who want to sleep, I will fix your computers for the rest if your life (for a price) but what to do with one who thinks he already knows it all already? Actually, I am already forming a plan. He seems to be the ring leader of a group of talkers, so I think I shall make him my assistant. By keeping his little hands busy maybe it will help keep his little mouth shut. And maybe by asking HIM questions, maybe, just maybe I can steer him in the right direction. I was a know it all too (I know Granny, I KNOW!) but still, somehow, I managed to actually learn something along the way. I hope to be able to get through to this one. Maybe he is NOT my problem child, maybe he is my special project. Yes, yes indeed, I like that much better. It's always so nice to talk these things out so thank you Reader, thank you for being there to listen when I just need to ramble out loud and figure things out. It's so nice to know you are out there.
