Marissa's costume and more

Hello. I figured I'd better get an entry of some sorts posted. Above are pictures of my oldest granddaughter Marissa modeling her halloween costume for you all. She was a Unicorn. I think this costume is so cute on her. Marissa had a doctor's appointment yesterday. She is 4ft 1 inch. She has lost 13% more of her body fat, which is absolutely wonderful. The doctor told Emma to keep doing what she's doing to help Marissa lose the excess weight. Marissa got a chicken pox shot and a TB test. She got an eye exam, and the doctor wants her to go see an eye doctor. And her blood pressure was a little high, but I think it was because she knew she was getting shots and Marissa doesn't like needles. She also noticed the circles around her eyes and asked about her sleeping patterns. Marissa has never slept more then 6 hours. She gets up at night numerous times, this child could go to bed at midnight and be up before the roosters. So they want Emma to take her to a specialists and have an sleep apnea test done. The doctor gave Marissa a prescription for an allergy medicine to help her breathe at night, because Marissa sleeps with a fan like I do because she has problems breathing.

Tomorrow my granddaughter Adrianna has a doctor's appointment. I can't wait to find out how much weight she has gained. Her little legs are starting to fill out. She is such a piggy too. That girl loves to eat.

Tomorrow will be my first day as the teachers aide. She needs someone to help serve and clean up breakfast, collect Behavior folders and make sure it was initialed by a parent, check homework folders and make sure homework was completed. And put in homework sheets for that nights homework. Help in keeping the kids quiet and seated while the teacher is talking to them. Walk them down to lunchroom and get the situated with trays of lunch and seated. Then afterwards it is 15 minutes outside in the kindergarten play yard. Then back to the classroom and get them settled down and quiet. At 2pm I help get their snack ready and pour the juice for each child. While their having a snack I get out their behavior charts and mark either a 1, 2, 3, or 4 in the block for that day. I am excited that I will be spending the day in Rebecca's class. The teacher said she may need me friday also. I told her I'm available.

I have about 150 journal alerts to read. I will get to them, I promise. I will read a few tonight and tomorrow night, then get to the rest over the weekend. I went and picked up my free turkey from ShopRite where if you spend 300.00 within a month you get a free turkey up to 21 pounds, then it was to Acme where I got a free 10 pound ham. It saved me over 55.00. Both will be cooked for Thanksgiving. So far 18 of us will be here for dinner. I wonder how many pounds of potatoes I gotta peel for mashed potatoes? LOL Or how many pies I have to make? Next entry I make I will tell you what the full menu is for thanksgiving dinner.

Well, I guess that's about it. I am gonna go read a couple alerts then get ready and go to bed. Your all in my prayers tonight. Each and everyone of you.

Love to all....................CINDY
