trials of a fat girl...

So, I went bathing suit shopping today. All I have to say is LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

because if I don't, I will cry.



New quotes from my students:
"I'm biting my arm!!" "I got a text, from NY" "I want computer NOW!" "I'm not welcome here!" "Can i stay open my water?" "Hey girl. What's up?"

um...meow?

So Mike is away for the week. Cassidy is such a daddy's girl and does not handle that well. Last night when I was tucking them in Mike called. She talked to him for a minute and started to cry. When she hung up I was talking to her and cuddling with her and I was trying to make her laugh so I said, "You like Daddy better than me, don't you?" She hid her face in the blanket and was totally grinning. I told her it was okay because it made me happy that they loved each other so much. She said, "If Daddy isn't home and I want someone to cuddle with, I will come cuddle with you..." =] What am I, sloppy seconds???? So I laughed at her and then she said, "It's kind of like cats and dogs..." um, what? She said - and I TOTALLY quote, "You know how much I love dogs. If dogs weren't around, I would love cats..." SO I AM A CAT??!!!!!! nice, daughter. I'd rather be your sloppy seconds!! LOL I love that kid.

I should write a book...

: "it's kooky!" "back you off!" "herrrrlp!!" "may you help tie your shoe?" "Do you feel grumpy? I do when I can't make my puzzle piece fit" "stupid beaver" "What could be better than that?!" "does Leo say hiya?" "That's good stuff"

: "DUDES!!! dude, dude, dude, dude & dude!" "what's up wit your bad self?" "my mom!" "My mom has talent, ya know?!" "I'm just a sad girl with no friends and nowhere to go" "Don't you listen to him!"

: "horny" (asking for pony & horse...) "hiya!" "busd" "dragon tales" "fishd" "chit"

: "oh, my ass" "my ass hurts" "what the hell are they doing?" "will you wipe my ass?" "I have to put my shite in the toilet" "stop teaching me!" "I'm going to kill yourself!" "No, YOU fold your hands!" "No, YOU be quiet!" "spaceball bags" "dumb trucks"

: "He's mah-blah" "aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" "where my knee is?"

: "behold, I'm taking off my clothes!" "I'm never going to school again!"

: "go sit, then good job" "totty" "one more time?" "go to work, Brenda"

aaahhhhhhhhhh!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! I heart 3 day weekends. It was beyond fabulous to sleep in until 9:00 this morning!! I woke up, went outside to another glorious, sun-shiney day! Had some fruit for breakfast, relaxed in my new lawn chair. The pool was up and full (we worked our tails of yesterday to accomplish this...). It was nasty dirty, though. So Mike & I scrubbed it until the skin on our hands were "soft-scrubbed" off. It's a beautiful vision in our back yard...now it just needs to warm up.

Thank you Jesus, for a beautiful, perfect, relaxing day.

What a week...

This week was forever long. It started at 3AM when I woke up Monday morning to take my college friends who were visiting for the weekend back the the airport. I came home and went back to sleep until about 7:40 (I have to leave for work at 8:00...). I brushed my teeth, added a bra to my outfit and ran out the door. After work I had to call a friend who had a biopsy done and was getting the results. YAY for no cancer...now to deal with this pesky "lump". Tuesday I spent the entire afternoon doing homework that was due that night because I had not done any over the weekend. College online when you are old and a mom and working full time blows...Wednesday I cleaned, again, ran my girls places, went to the grocery store to "pick up a few things" and $100 later walked out and went home. Had class at 8PM...put the kiddos to bed...Thursday we had haircuts, then went through Wendy's for dinner and had to be at school for Ally's 4th grade band/chorus concert. They did a fabulous job!! That brings us to today. I came home from work feeling bloated, gassy and dizzy...I have been laying on the couch surrounded by "crap". Mike and the girls went to pick up dinner and a movie. Sounds like a good plan to me.

school quotes of the week "I am going to kill yourself!!!" "STOP teaching me!!" "Herrrlp!"

I don't know about this...

I am not a writer. Ask anyone who has is currently taking classes with me (or forced to help me). But a lot of my favorite friends blog and I think theirs are fun...we'll see. I am married to Mike coming up on 15 years. We have 2 beauties...Allysa Kelli and Cassidy Rose and a freaker (oops, I mean a dog) named Gabriel Marvin (for my father-in-law). I am a para-professional in an autistic support classroom and LOVE LOVE LOVE my job. I love my "boys" just as much. I am finally going to college because I think I have figured out what I want to be when I grow up. So hopefully in a few years I will have graduated with an Associate's in Early Childhood Development and a Bachelor's in Applied Behavior Analysis/Psychology and then I would like to maybe become a BCABA or something like that. But then I want to be all done with the whole college thing. My hubby is a pastor - and very good at it - and we have been at our church for basically our entire adult lives (since before we were even married!). God amazes me all the time with his ability to forgive my stubborness and idiot-ness (yes, thats a word) and still love me and provide for me and take care of me. How blessed am I???
