Press .......

all i have to say....

this is awesome!!!

puppy

so when school started
and flake got home
all in the same day
i was one excited puppy!
it was a great day!
and i put all i had in that day!



and true to form
after spending days giving it my all
and spending those days with 24 five year-olds
who have yet to master the art of
not sharing their germs
i became one sick puppy!



it is what it is,
but i continued to try
and give it my all,
all the while,
wearing myself out
leaving myself
one tired puppy!




so, i feel the need to let you know
i'm busy trying to get my feet back on the ground
and while i wait for my
super hero puppy cape to be cleaned,
i'll be missing you, and your blogs
......

be looking for me....
and my cape to reappear....

soon!

she hit the floor

if you loved bon qui qui
or even if you didn't
this should make you laugh!
i know it made me laugh
....
a lot!

securidy

if you have not ever met bon qui qui,
let me introduce her to you...

hope you laughed as hard as i do
each and every time i watch this!

if not,
i guess....i'll have to call securidy!

off to spend time with my flake!
love having him home!
yay!

changes

i've mentioned before
that i'm not big on
change
or
waiting

but.....
today
i'm completely ok with it

being that flake's plans have
changed

he is already on his way home

and i'll sit here and
wait
until i see him!
whenever that may be!

please pray for safe travels for him
and keep his job situation in your prayers too!

:)

randomness

i've not taken the time to sign into blogger
since last saturday
and when i signed in today
and saw this

i thought that was just a little overwhelming
and i just decided to hit the "mark all as read" button.
so
sorry!
sorry that i'm not going to go back and catch up on all those post over the past week, all i know is that you were all very busy!
VERY!

---------------------------------------------------

i love lazy days!

---------------------------------------------------

flake had his interview last tuesady.
he feels like it went well, but still has not heard anything.
(to be fair, he was told that he probably wouldn't hear anything before the end of the week.)
i'm ready to know!

---------------------------------------------------

i love bowling
but i'm horrible at it!

but seriously, can you see my excitement over a gutter ball?

---------------------------------------------------

thursday was a HARD day for me!
before flake came home again, i told him that i didn't think i could handle him leaving again.
and boy was i right
i cried like a baby when i took flake to the airport.
and by baby, i mean a blubbering idiot would couldn't catch her breath!
it wasn't pretty!

---------------------------------------------------

twizzlers, ahh, you are so good!

---------------------------------------------------

does anyone know how to put music on a blog?
someone asked me to help them do that, and i don't have a clue how to do it!

modern mom over at how to survive life in the suburbs
tagged me in a meme

Here are the rules of this one:
1. Collect the book that you have most handy
2. Turn to page 161
3. Find the 5th complete sentence
4. Site the sentence on your blog
5. Pass it on to 5 other blogger

due to the fact that i was slack this week
(and thank goodness for the option to schedule a post....)
i never got around to doing this....

so here you go modern mom
1. the book closest to me.....isn't a book i'm reading....it just happens to be close to me, cause that is where it lives in the apartment.
the book is A Parting Gift by ben Erickson
2. found it
3. .... ok
4. "He's fine"
(Aren't you glad you waited a week for that!!! haha!!)
5. passing it on to bloggers......
(these five people just commented on my last post....so this is my way of saying THANKS!! and sending people over to you....)

---------------------------------------------------

i'm not so sure how to feel about the fact
that one of my new friends at school told me
"i don't have to listen to you, i'm gansta"

umm...really, you aren't gansta....you are five!

---------------------------------------------------

flake starts heading from texas on
MONDAY

---------------------------------------------------

happy weekend!

oh i love this!

ever since i first saw the skinny jean
i have disliked it
probably because i knew, even as a child,
skinny jeans look stupid
on me.
on you.
on everyone.
but then again
i am reminded i am not the most fashionable person
by the fact that i would rather live in pajama pants
and a zip up hoodie.
i was so excited during the 90's when skin tight jeans
were just not cool
but to my utter disappointment
thanks to the gap
the skinny jeans came back
ugh!
but thankfully,
there is now proof that the skinny jean is the work of the devil....
medical proof!!!
YAY!!! i love that!!!
so please, for your health, but more importantly, for me,
stop wearing the skinny jeans!!!

the first day

the classroom is ready


the teachers are ready



the centers have been tested by a sweet little face


and all is ready
for the 24 sweet friends
who will show up in my door way this morning,
the first day of kindergarten,
with bright eyes and anxious feelings.
we have met some of them
and we have prayed for all of them
and we are excited to get to know them!

and we want you to get to know them too!

this year, we will have a class blog
:)
and i, along with my little friends, would love for you to read
and to comment on
all that we are learning in our little class

our first post should be up sometime around 3:00 this afternoon.

:)

ahh, i love him!

pray for him tomorrow, as he interviews for a job....closer to home!

be safe

back in december,
i came home from work
to tell flake that i had gotten him a present

now to be honest, i'm not good at being hush hush about
good surprises.
most people that know me IRL

(in real life....for those people like my mama who don't know bloggy shorthand)
can vouch for the fact that if i have a good surprise, like a gift, or exciting news,
i can't hold it in.
i just HAVE to tell (or give, show, etc)!!!
i hate waiting until christmas, birthdays, whatever days.....
i just can't stand it....

so ...... when i came home from work
and told flake i had gotten him a present,
he knew better than to ask me to keep it quiet until christmas
however.....he tried.
i told him, i wouldn't tell him what it was....
but i had to give him a hint.
(aka in l.o.v. language....i'm getting ready to cave!!)

so our conversation went something like this
but do remember....this took place 8 plus months ago....
l.o.v.: i got you something today
flake: a present?
l.o.v.: yeah, well, kind of
flake: kind of? well, don't tell me
l.o.v.: but
flake: please, i'd like to have at least one surprise
l.o.v.: fine, i won't tell you, but.....how about a hint?
flake: fine
l.o.v.: i got you something, but i don't want you to ever use it
flake: what?
l.o.v.: i got you something, but i don't want you to ever use it
flake: i heard you, but i didn't understand you
l.o.v.: and....it really isn't a christmas present
flake: what? .... fine, just tell me
l.o.v.: yay! i got you accident insurance, but please don't ever use it!

yep.....that's right....i got the boy accident insurance!
to those of you who know flake IRL....
you know that accident insurance is probably one of the best gifts the boy could ever get!
(both of us actually!)
neither of us were given much grace,
and both of us find ways to get hurt,
but always have good stories to tell in the end!
so, as you can imagine, i was quite excited with my purchase!

fast forward to present day....
flake is making good safe choices....
(well at least he says he is....down in texas)
while LF, has put himself in some compromising situations....

so i wonder, do you think that the accident insurance will cover him if he gets hurt??
