DUCKIES!!!!!

So much to say, but really nothing at all. Funny story, kind of. Well, two weeks ago while it was snowing and windy and freezing and I couldn't take my kids outside, I was looking out the door onto our playground and I noticed that there was a duck (male) out there. Weird. We've never had ducks out there. There's not any water around, so I was wondering what it was doing out there. But anyway, so I showed him to my kids and they were all excited, and i was excited too because I LOVE ducks. And then I noticed that there was a female duck out there too! Cool. Anyhow, so the day went on. It was Thursday, so I left work and came back on Monday. We took our kids out to the playground, and some of them were playing near the bushes. All of a sudden mama duck comes out of the bushes and starts chasing one of our kids, wings spread and beak wide open. Crap. DUCK NEST! So we had to move to the gazebo, our other outdoor spot to play. And the sad thing is that they moved the nest, so those little baby duckies will never be born. So sad.
That was about the only excitement for last week. I had to go to professional development day on Saturday. It wasn't as good as some of the other trainings I've been to, but it wasn't horrible. The worst part was trying to find the right building, as it was at the All State building, and they occupy two sides of a large road. I had to talk to three security guards before I found the right place!!!!!
We hung out with people this weekend. I got to drive a Saturn Vue. It's cool, and I still think that if I were to get a different car sometime in the near future (for Eric, not for me) I would consider a Vue. They're really nice, although the OUTLOOKS (also by Saturn) are super nice too. They're more luxurious, and I don't want to know how much they cost. Wait, I think Eric looked it up, and they started at something like, 27K or something. So I guess that isn't that bad, considering what my dream car costs (Infinity FX. I don't even know what those things run at).
Good news....I think my health insurance is covering 100% of my oral surgery so I should be expecting to get about $830 back from the place that I got it done at. That's almost exactly what my car cost to get fixed!!! I was worried that the surgery wasn't going to be covered because I got a notice saying that my dental insurance wasn't gonna cover it. STRESS!!!!! So anyhow, that's my life. I should go eat lunch, go to the library, and...ummm....stuff. I dunno!!! Bye!!!
