Jeff is working hard as usual. He's not only taking his athletic admin classes but also taking some public health classes as well. Why, you ask? Because Jeff has decided to become an uber master and get a second master's degree in public health. Why, you ask? Because he's awesome like that. On top of his full load of classes, Jeff has his graduate assistantship with the women's basketball team helping with marketing and getting fans out to the games (which we all know is a difficult task for women's basketball, let's be honest). And since the season hasn't started yet, even though he's working on getting prepared for the season, they have him working at the soccer games doing the scoreboard and announcing. AND on top of that he's babysitting kids in a study hall two nights a week AND mentoring a couple of student athletes. I know what you're thinking, what a stud. Yes, I know.
Lynn is still typing away and sitting in front of the computer for 32 hours a week. 32 hours, you ask? Yes, you read that right. Lynn cut down on her hours because she was getting to the point where she was about to march right over to the hospital, track down the doctors that seem to think it's okay to talk likethisandmumbleandwhisperandchewgumatthesametime while trying to pronounce words like esophagogastroduodenoscopy and give them a piece of her mind. It's not a pharnix, it's a pharynx. It's not a larnix, it's a larynx. It's not a sontometer, it's a centimeter. And iller and prescriptionally are NOT words!! Gosh, I wish I had the chutzpah (yes, I just said chutzpah) to do that. But we all know that wasn't going to happen, so I cut back on my hours for my sanity...and Jeff's. Lynn has also decided to apply to nursing school yet again in February. Let's face it people, if she doesn't get in this time she might as well take at as a hint that it's just not meant to be. So stay tuned for that one. She has also decided to try and become crafty and finally figured out how to thread her sewing machine this morning! We'll see how that goes. ha!
Well, now that you're updated with our lives I'm sure you feel that your day is complete. Stay tuned because this might all change tomorrow.
p.s. in case you were wondering about Riley Jo, she's as crazy as ever. we got a membership to the dog park and she is in dog heaven...if only there were paper towels, peanut butter and cardboard there, she'd never want to come home.
POST EDIT: Jeff informed me that I forgot to mention that he is also applying to get a business certificate (which is basically the core classes for an MBA...so he really is an uber master) and also gives baseball lessons on the side. I can't even keep up with all the stuff this guy does. Holy moly.

I'm glad you guys are doing well. By the way, I LOVE to read your blog. You are such a witty writer.
Jeff I love that picture of you with Riley It reminds me of myself with my dog Payton. I love your blog! I'm so glad that you and Lynn are doing so well. You are truly missed here at the Health Dept. Take Care :)
I like that picture of you and me and Anika in DC because your head looks bigger than mine. I like to think I have a tiny head too. Can I borrow your tiny nose? Just tell me where those doctors are, I'll beat them up for you. Or bring them here and I'll beat them up.
I've come to the conclusion that your head is smaller than mine! really. i think mine has widened over the years. yikes.
Well, I for one feel like I have some peace of mind now that you've updated me on what you guys have been up to. And I don't know how you ever even see Jeff--it sounds like he is uber busy since he's an uber master. I'm glad that you decided to apply for nursing school again because the world could use a few more nurses who are both nice and competent, and you would obviously be both. Keep us posted!
You are funny. How many hours a week is Jeff home with you? Crazy!
holy moley is right! you two are busy busy!! but it sounds like it's all good..(besides the mumbly doctor part... i totally think of you everytime i hear our docs dictate, btw.. i understand your pain) can't wait to hear if you get accepted! you'll be a great nurse!!
