So what's new on the farm?
- School is kicking my butt. 3 education classes in one semester was not a good idea. The work isn't hard, there is just a lot of it. I have 2 final papers, 3 take-home finals, 2 educational philosophies to write, 30 hours of class time to reflect on, interviews to type, and a math portfolio to put together. If I have time I can also do some extra credit that would be a big help.
- Cole is doing fine. He's excited to turn 4 so he can run in the sprinkler. Sunday he was upset because he wanted a balloon with stars on it. Guess what his birthday present will be :)
- Tate is potty training, sort of. He wakes up dry, so I've been putting him on the potty. He doesn't like to have his play interrupted, so we're having a tough time that way. I'm hoping to have some time to work with him this summer. If not, he's only almost 2, so I'm not too worried about it. Besides, I spent the better part of a year on Cole, what's another year of potty training!
- Church has been crazy busy too. We got our hotel assignment for our trip to New Orleans. Can we say roof top pool! We got a great hotel, but I'm afraid we'll end up on the top floor and I'll end up sick from the elevators. Anyone know of a way to treat motion sickness besides dramamine and the wrist bands?
- We are also planning a fundraiser for playground equipment at church. I'm really excited about that. We have a huge field with nothing on it. Right now we are looking at Rainbow play systems and they just happen to be having a sale, until Monday.
- Pat has been busy getting ready to get crops in the ground. It's a little early for that yet, although the weather has been gorgeous. We are enjoying it, yet waiting for the other shoe to drop and a huge snow storm to hit. My strawberries are greening up and my tulips are blooming. The boys even got a little sunburned today from playing outside.
- April has been full of calves. Unfortunately all but 2 were bull calves. We had a calf every day from the 1st until the 10th, then another born on the 13th. Fortunately all but this last one were pretty smart and broke to a pail pretty easily.
- Tomorrow night I take off for Brainerd for a youth leader meeting. I'm looking forward to the meeting, but it means 8 hours in the car (round trip) and a hotel stay for a 3.5 hour meeting.
- I've been spending the last couple of weeks in a middle school classroom. It's been kind of fun. I've been going to a local Catholic school. The first day one of the kids told me I should teach there, but I didn't want to out myself as a non-Catholic. I'm only there in the afternoons for math. It's reminded me a lot of how I grew up.

About the motion sickness--I have used a patch and a prescription, both with good results, the patch you leave on for 72 hours, so you don't have to remember to time a pill--I can get you the names if you want.
Good luck with all your school work! It seems like alot now, but you will be so glad when you are done!
I've heard that cinnamon pills work for motion sickness too.... not sure if they work, but it might be work a try.
