barely breathing

did a hurricane blow through northeastern oklahoma? i feel like i've been blown over! my life has been crazy since sunday morning, and that's why i haven't blogged!

sunday morning at 6:30 our phone rang. instantly i knew something was wrong because it was too early for a normal call. dad was taken back to the hospital with chest pains. he'd just had his 2nd stent put in on friday, and he went home on saturday feeling great. but around 3 in the morning, he started having horrible chest pains, so an ambulance came and took him back to the heart hospital.

since i hadn't gone to the hospital the past 2 times he was taken, i felt like i needed to go. daryl unloaded all the boxes we had packed into my car on saturday, and i took off for edmond. after a long day of waiting, dad was taken for a heart cath around 4. in less than an hour the doctor reported that there was nothing wrong with his heart! praise God! he was sent home on monday morning, but the doctors still aren't sure what caused his pain.

while i was in edmond, daryl and the boys moved a week's worth of stuff up to bartlesville. sunday was also the day that we all moved into the king's house while we're waiting for our house to sell. sunday was the day before the first day at our new schools!

yesterday spencer, colby and i all started new adventures at different schools. this time around the boys aren't at my school. that's weird for me. i really miss seeing them throughout the day. i think they like their new school. they haven't said much, but i haven't heard anything bad about them.

my school, on the other hand....

let's just say i'm having to readjust to this type of setting. it's definitely NOT like park lane. the kids here are easily angered, defensive and mean to each other. it makes me sad. i know that i can make a difference, but it's not going to easy. i came home crying today because i feel like i'm the enemy to these kids. it's like being a substitute teacher all over again. not fun.

i'll try to post pictures later tonight when we get our personal computer set up.
