sister in law update
My sister-in-law went in today. They couldn't flip the baby over. She'll have to have a C-section next month, hopefully she won't go into labor before then.

Prayer list
This week I've been emotionally up and down, who knows why, I think it's several things contributing to it, but not sure if I've found everything that's been bugging me this week. Then I think I somehow manage to get Bryan grumpy this morning through my grumpiness, so I feel bad about that. And someone from the volunteer board I am on is pissed at my mother and I because he feels he has nothing to do....we gave him plenty to do, not sure why he's so angry with us.
Anyway, a couple of family things did happen, one yesterday, one tomorrow
The one yesterday, got a message from my brother whose wife is expecting towards the end of May.
"Just wanted to let you know that Melissa went into labor last night, 5 weeks early, and the baby was Breech. We were at the hospital all night, trying to get the labor stopped. We're good now, but we're going in to have them try to flip the baby on Friday, and we'd appreciate everyone's prayers that all will go well."
I hate it, every time I pray, I keep forgetting to pray about her and it's bugging me. Bleh, I just hope everything works out for her, it has to be scary to be going in tomorrow for her. :(
Today, well technically happened last night, but I found about it just now here at work since my mom and I work in the same place.
My sister got in a car accident last night. She's totally fine physically thank goodness. She's 17 so she's pretty darn shooken up. She was going 55 mph on a 15 or 20 mph curve near my parent's house, the car spun out and lost total control. Luckily she went east and not west where the hill drops off into a big stream/small river and pond. However, a caretaker lives in a gray house that my sister just barely missed, was just sitting close to the wall. They're lucky. The car instead just went through two fences. It'll cost at least 3,000 to repair the car (any of you know our history with cars will understand that this is just discouraging and a confirmation that we will never ever have a normal car...my dad's white truck has been good so far though). So at least she's ok, but still, that's a lot to happen. She had been at her friend's house, which she was not supposed to be as she told my mom she was at the store and was NOT going to visit him, and was very very late (11:00) mom expected her home at like 10:30 from the store. She was worried mom would be mad (which she admits she would have been) and sped home and lost control. Mom said one good thing happened out of it all, it led them to a nice long talk about how things have REALLY been going lately (she's been lying a lot apparently), and they talked until 230 this AM. That was a good thing to have a mother daughter talk, but a very expensive good thing so says mom.
Can't something good happen?
****EDIT*****
Just found out, Hannah, the youngest sister, is getting her tonsils out Wednesday (on her 16th birthday), Hilarie is getting her wisdom teeth out the next week, My mom has to get a colonoscopy, not sure what's wrong, and has to go in to check for breast cancer, just found a lump, has to get a root canal, get surgery on her foot (in a couple of months) and possibly her back as there is bone growing ON bone in her foot and back.
My brother's wife is 90% dialated, so it's very possible she'll have the baby tomorrow when they try to flip it.
My old boss (she still works here, just different areas) had to have surgery for her breast cancer, on a scale of 1-4 she's a 3 with 4 being the worst. She's on chemo twice a week for six weeks then will go under radiation 5 times a week after that, they found so many lumps that they have to treat basically her whole body. Luckily, it didn't get in her organs, so she has a chance of living.
Anything else to add to a prayer list? :)

Selfishness
THis may sound selfish, but I'm just having a brief "I want" moment, and I KNOW EVERYONE has this kind of moment once in awhile.
I really want a dog now. :( I miss my dogs at my parents' house.
I want a bigger apartment.
I want a better car, though I am grateful it's still running for the time being.
I want finals to be over with, along with my student teaching.
I want more money.
I want chocolate.
I want ice cream, though not chocolate ice cream.
I want my Praxis scores to come back (should be any time now).
I want my projects to be done.
I want to teach.
I want to have a better clue of how to teach.
I want to be settled somewhere.
I want the dishes to do themselves.
I want a dishwasher.
I want a washer and dryer.
I want 450 bucks to buy my ticket to teach at a camp in the summer.
I want a preschool with both ASL and Cued American English.
I want Bryan to not have to work nights.
I want...I want...I want....

Update on school/work
I'm in my cohort semester at BYU for the early childhood education major this semester. Basically it's my practicum for the primary grades, I've already done my practicum from pre-k and kindergarten. The beginning of the semester i struggled with being able to decide whether or not I was going to do an internship or not. I decided to do it. Had to get cleared through the department with my grades, that was fine, cleared with my professors, that was fine, cleared with my supervisor, that was fine, cleared with the liaison, that went fine (both the liaison and supervisor had to observe me first before permitting me to sign up for an interview). Finally, had to sign up for an interview, but we were only allowed to sign up for one school district, so I signed up for Alpine school district. The interview was yesterday...finally. :) I wasn't sure how it went at first, but I was able to answer all the questions. I felt I was talking a million miles a minute, but it went well. I got a phone call an hour after my interview, which was about a half hour to 45 minutes after ALL interviews. I got it! I'm teaching second grade for the 2006-2007 school year! I get credit at school for it, and at the same time get half salary (because of school stuff) and full health benefits with no premium. I'm way excited, and it might also mean Bryan and I may move to SLC to be closer for commute. We'll see how that goes. I got it!!! *happy dance*

Gone again
Bryan just walked out the door to new York for a day. :( (I'm a newlywed, give me a break)

My funny life
1. Bryan's elbow had a run in with my eye while trying to cuddle. This happened right after the same thing happened to my parents, and as a result my mom has to get lasik again as she had just had it done two or three days before that.
2. I just poured orange juice into my cereal and started eating it. It wasn't all that great. (I thought it was milk and was really really confused).
3. Bryan was sweet to cook dinner for me one night. In the process of doing so, he managed to burn the paper that had the recipe on it while looking at it to cook the potatoes.
4. Bryan had never seen panty hose right after it came out of the box compared to after it had been worn once. He had this opportunity on Sunday. The result? "Wow, those REALLY stretched out!"
Talk about a way to make your wife feel fat! (remember I found this funny)
5. I'm sure there are more that I'm not remembering, I'm too tired (see number 2).
