It's been awhile since I have posted, so I thought I'd give it a whirl this morning. I am obviously working hard here at my job. No, really it is Wednesday.....which has become my favorite day other than Sunday. We have fine arts here at West Jasper on Wednesday which means extra planning (or free in Mrs. Tuggle's case) time. I don't have my laptop here, so I can't post pictures, but I will add those later. I have some really good ones that I have taken lately. Believe it or not there isn't all that much going on with us right now. Ian is growing so fast. He had a few rough weeks at school, but is being an angel now. He is such a good big brother. He is Chad's little shadow. Luke is still Luke! He is absolutely rotten! (I guess they all are though!) He has a new girlfriend at school, Addi. Apparently they are pretty serious.....he dropped his old one of over 2 years for her. He loves to read and sing anddance. He is quite the entertainer. Zeke is fabulous! He is growing way to fast. He is eating 2nd foods already. He sleeps about 11 hours every night. He rolled over at Grandee's yesterday, and is starting to learn to sit up. He "talks" ALL the time........he fits right in at our house! He is always happy and smiling and laughing. We went back to the ENT the other day and his ears were clear.......Yay God! That means no tubes right now. We have been going to the chiropractor which I believe played a big part. I am doing fine.........just busy and crazy as ever! For some reason taking care of3 kids, a husband, and a house, a dog & 4 puppies, teaching 4th and 5th graders, sponsoring SGA and doing the school newspaper, staring a girl's group with 5th grade girls, helping teach youth girl's discipleship class, hosting a ladies prayer group every week at my house, and sometimes finding time to sleep have become somewhat overwhelming! No, really I love every second of my life and wouldn't change a thing! I feel so blessed to have all the opprtunities I have and all the people I have in my life. Well, you should well know by now that the Tuggle's will always throw a curve in things. Poor Chad has discovered that he has what we think is a hernia. It was very suddenly that he discovered it. He went to Dr. Jud who said that is probably what it is and referred him to a surgeon. He will go to St. Vincent's next Tuesday to see him. He was able to get an appointment with the surgeon who took out my gallbladder last year. He is awesome! We like to really get use out of doctors! Anyway, keep him inyour prayers. We aren't sure what will happen yet, but they say probably surgery. If you know Chad, you know that will not be easy for him. He is very active, and it will be hard for him to be out of commission.
Well that's how we are all doing. We had a great Valentine's Day. I was able to attend the big boys' tea party at school. They looked so handsome! I'll post pics later. We spent the actual day together at home and had a nice dinner.......chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese. I guess I should end this now before I go insane......I might change my name. If I hear Mrs. Tuggle one more time....... (Oh- just so you know- I am not just playing on the computer and ignoring my students. I share a room with another teacher who has students right now. It is actually my planning time. Think of the 5 loudest, silliest, wildest kids you can imagine....multiply that times 10 and you have the group of kids I am listening to! I might should be planning how to escape!! ;) Have a Happy Wednesday!!!!!!!!

They're here.........
Zig-Zag had her puppies last night. She had 8, but only 4 made it. :( They are very cute and loud.....they cry and whine constantly. They are in the garage with a heat lamp as it is so very cold. The pics aren't that great, but the mommy wasn't all that happy about me taking their picture. I'm thinking about a new career in canine obsterics........

Things we did or didn't do......
Here are some things that we didn't do this past week:
-Have a stroke- This week was the year anniversary of my stroke. It has been quite emotional for me. I would wake up and think, Wow a year ago today I was rushed to the hospital by ambulance or I woke up and my left side was paralyzed or I had terrible seizures. Then I would think, Wow God is so awesome! I didn't dread having to get up and go to work........I felt so very blessed to be able to get up and shower by myself and go to work and walk everywhere with no special equipment of any kind. I remember all the talk about shower chairs and walkers and canes, etc. I never once used anything......not even the brace they sent home with me.
-Cook supper-I did not cook an actual meal even one day this week. We were so busy! I di however skip my class at the gym to make it to church to eat meatloaf!
-Go to yoga-I went to yoga for the first time last week. I am by no means flexible or graceful or any of that stuff, but I really liked the class. It was very relaxing and all the stretching felt great. I didn't fall down or hurt myself, but I did giggle a lot at the names of the poses. I do believe the downward dog is my favorite. I didn't go because I had to go to family night at West Jasper.
-Clean my house- I am learning to not be so anal and let the things that aren't that important go. I have decided that a spotless house is one of those things. We did straighten and do the basic stuff but no major cleaning this week.
Here are some things we did do:
-Lost a dear sweet family friend- Rejina Keeton went to live with Jesus on Tuesday........that's how Luke and Ian understand it, and I like that view myself. We will all miss her!
-Get hit by a speeding motorcycle- This would be Chado........He did get smacked by a crazy motorcycle man who was trying to get away from state troopers. The guy flew into the bed of his truck onto many bags of garbage.(I knew there was a reason to throw that garbage there!) He jumped ou, took off, and has yet to be found. Thank God Chad is ok. The truck is messed up but drivable. When someone makes a movie about the crazy life of the Tuggles, we'll be sure and put in this scene!
-Eat 19 chicken nuggets at Wendy's- This one would be Luke and Ian. Our boys can eat!
-Find Booger- Poor Luke lost Booger.....his favorite stuffed elephant(I jokingly said we should name him that and Luke thought it was hilarious so it stuck). Thankfully bubba Ian found him!
-Prepare a place for Zig-Zag, our dog, to have puppies- Of course I did this.......Chad can't even stand the thought. Poor Zig-Zag is so incredibly huge that she can barely walk......remember she's only got 3 good legs. She was whining and being all weird, so I figure they'll be here any moment. I hope this time goes well. Last time she did great, but the time before that I had to actually do most of it. I even had to tie off their little cords with thread. You should see Chad when I talk about it.;) I'll post pictures when they arrive.
This post could go on forever, but I must try to sleep.........morning comes quickly and there isn't enough coffee in the world to make Monday mornings good!
