My gallbladder surgery went very well! However anesthesia + narcotics = an unpleasant Stephanie! I came out of the surgery in pain so they gave me some morphine, quite a bit actually, and then ended up giving me more meds when I got back to my room. Along with all that narcotics and the anesthesia I was so sick! It was horrible! I had to be at the hospital at 6:30 a.m., had surgery around 9:00 a.m. (I think. I was so out of it.), back in my room by noon, and didn't go home until 5:30. Not at all the easy surgery I was expecting! Actually, I guess the surgery was easy, but the recovery was a bugger! I'm doing so much better now! Not quite 100% yet, but well on my way. I know that I will feel so much better once I've fully recovered. Can't wait for some spicy Mexican food! :)
T.J. and I are so blessed with such wonderful friends! We appreciate all the flowers, food and visits! T.J. even had a friend that made a snuff run for him Friday night because he didn't want to leave me. So sweet!

At last, summer is here!
I'm so excited to be out of school for the summer! It is definitely a perk of being a teacher. Like April, May flew by. I can remember time dragging on when I was younger, now you blink and it is gone!
May was busy with end of the year stuff, finishing up Junior League, and working on the house. I will get those remodeling pictures up soon! Ending up the school year is always so busy, I seem to forget from year to year. I think I suppress those memories. :) It is also bittersweet! You teachers will understand what I'm talking about. You are so exhausted with all of the end of the year "stuff" you have to do (there is a ton!), excited about being off for the summer, yet sad about not seeing your kids everyday. I was blessed with a wonderful class this year. They were so sweet! It was hard letting them go. It is usually this way for me every year. My kids are why I teach!! Next year I will be teaching 4th grade. I'm looking forward to it. I will know the kids for the next two years because I taught them in 2nd grade. Huge perk!! We spend Memorial Day at the Racquet Club with some friends eating and hanging out by the pool. It was very relaxing!
Now June is here! TJ and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary yesterday. I will post more about this later. It was a nice day! Tomorrow I'm going to have my gallbladder removed. I have to be at the hospital at 6:30, ugh! Too early!! I'm ready to have it done so that I can start feeling better!
I hope you all had a great start to your summer! I'm hoping with more time on my hands I will be able to update my blog more than once a month! :)
