Well, this week on Friday I had a scare. My blood pressure was well over 190/90. Now for one day that would not be bad, but this lasted 4 days.

We also found some great Continue reading 2012-2013 School Year: Week #10
For some reason I was having such a hard time this week doing school. I think because we had such a big weather change from about 78-80 to now dropping to 69 or so and drizzling, it just made me tired. Overall we got everything done we were supposed to. In Art this week we Continue reading 2012-2013 School Year: Week #9
