Eric has informed me that my “viewership” might plummet if I continue writing about my New Kids on the Block 🙂  Haha… Hope I didn’t lose anyone as a result!!  If you’re reading this, I guess that means you’re still with me…

I’d like to thank everyone for their blog comments and emails.  I enjoy hearing from each of you, and especially love hearing from my students and parents.  I don’t know if you’ll ever understand how hard it is for me to know what I’m missing out on in the classroom, but your stories, pictures, and videos provide me with laughs and make me feel like I’m right there with you!  I wish that I could personally respond to all of your comments, but I don’t think it’s possible with this site??  I’ll keep checking but so far no luck.  Just know that I read each and every one of your comments and love them!!  Thank you!

Another question I have had from people is whether or not it is possible to get an email whenever a new blog is posted.  There isn’t a way to get an email directly from the site, as I set it up to NOT force everyone to have a login account.  However, if you would like to be included in emails that go out regarding the blog updates, please send an email to april@gott-walker.us and include your name and email address.  I’m happy to add you to the list!!!

Also a big thanks to my husband, Eric…. He has truly been a rockstar through all of this.  He’s given up a lot and pitched in without a single complaint.  He makes my daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner, is constantly on dog duty, puts my “movie of the day” in the DVD player each  morning before he leaves for work, has taken over all cleaning and laundry, and switches the bedding twice a week which feels SO GOOD!  On top of it all, he even wipes my tears when I’m having my “I hate life” moments and tries to rally my morale.  This whole baby thing hasn’t gone to plan at all, but when in life do things actually work out as planned, right??  We are trying to make the most of it and I’m even finding positives about each day.  For one, Junior is going to have the MOST DETAILED baby book of all time!  Ha.  I don’t know how people find time to fill them out without bed rest forcing it upon them.  My positives today include getting to watch the American Country Music Awards that I tivo’d from last Sunday, and finishing my most recent book.
