Weekend Update!!

Well, I think I see a pig or two in the sky!!! I was quiet for 24 hours on Saturday. It was very strange - Katie even helped because she wanted me to be able to say I did it!! Owen and I had date night. The movie was easy but dinner was surreal - he told the waiter I couldn't talk but I can point. I am lucky he knows me well - ordered everything exactly like I wanted it. We did use the notepad on the Iphone to "talk". I am sure people thought we were just crazy gadget kids (which for those close to us know it is true) One sided conversations are hard but we know it is important to continue.
Funny story from Saturday: Katie asked me how long I would be in the hospital for surgery - I typed in none and that I would come home that day. She said "Oh, your trying to save money by not staying there?" Yes, Katie exactly.
Sunday was not as easy but still did really well. I did have to teach religious ed. but Katie is in my class and helped a lot. Then at Connor's soccer game - I clapped but no yelling even after he made a goal!! Dinner out with the family and I used the phone to chat.
At school, my parapro has started giving me grades at the end of the day. I started off strong BUT it was a field trip - I give myself an F!!! A BIG FAT F!!! Oh, well. Tomorrow is a new day and tonight is a quiet night. I am getting good at texting but auto correct will be the death of me. IF I text with you please be patient. Think of it as a game - What is she trying to say???? My kids are getting really good at translating and I even got a whistle (call me Captain Von Trapp) to call them. They are learning some good skills by talking for me in stores.
I have given up Bunko and Book Club for the next few months. I will miss all my dear friends but I will be thinking of you on Monday nights.
I am glad I have the blog. I like feeling I can "talk" and share the funny stories of my day. Today's funny - a student asked " Mrs. Kenworthy, what is your last name???" Pretty funny since some of my kids think my name is Mrs. Kimberly.

Thanks for reading. Please leave a comment and let me know you stopped by!!
