This post is for the pure purpose of my profile picture. It says in the HELP portion of "Posting a Profile Pic" that if you are a dumbass like me and can't figure out a picture's http...then post a pic to your blog and use the http for your pic. IF YOU DELETE THE POST THE PICTURE WILL REMAIN.......because really who want a random post of a picture? OH WAIT that is every post on my blog....anyway I deleted it and WAHMO! My profile pic left too...LIARS!
Fab pic I know! But it sums up my MOOD lately.

The Storm

TEACHBROECK On 8:30 AM








I love storms...unless I am driving, but at home they are great. Living in the country lets us see them coming for miles. This storm had an obvious line or dark and clear skies.
First the wind kicked up.

Then it sprinkled.

































Then it poured.






















Then the gutters overflowed.





















Then the window wells overflowed.




















The shadows are J's leg and the shovel.
HELL NO I wan't going out there!



















The dark shadow that saved our basement!




**I do have pics of JDog stripping down on the deck to his heart boxers....but I value the freedom of BREATH...so I dare not!

THANK YOU

TEACHBROECK On 5:41 AM

Thank you for all the good wishes, happy thoughts, prayers and crossed fingers and toes!
The blood work from yesterday looks BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Still lots of worries and waiting, but for today I am happy and hopeful.
June 7th will be a more conclusive ultrasound to see if there is/are one or two!

I don't usually blog THEMATICALLY but in order to make Thursday come quicker I have been busy wasting a lot of time.

Here are a FEW of my Favorite things:


My cat. I have a dog too...that is cute and loyal, but my cat ...I love him. He sleeps by me every night and seems more in tune with me than the dog.



I love the Skinny Cow carmel drumsticks! Don't even get me started on the Simply Salsa. You may loose an appendage if you dip in MY bowl.
Mary Kay Bronzer....awesome..at 32 I need to start taking care this skin! And the only perfume I have had for years beyond paradise-estee lauder


My bed. Seriously I LOVE IT! I get a little rush when I climb in at night. And the book I am holding GOOD IN BED....I loved it! And who I get to share it with ;)


Lilac Trees! If I could bottle that smell I would!



Pictures...my all time favorite I LOVE THEM.



This is the picture that hangs over my dresser. I love the man it. There is noone else I would rather go crazy with.









I did mention I adore pics right?






And of course this little reading bambino....is THE favorite in my life.



YOUR TURN! Post some pics of your favorite products...food...things....people...



Stay tuned for a pictorial of my MORNING ROUTINE....(bated breath I KNOW)

GOD? wait...Ashton Kutcher?

Ultrasounds
Blood tests
RhoGam shot


Consensus of ultrasound tech: Everything looks GREAT, NORMAL! May just be implantation.

PHEW....relieved....overjoyed....back on track!!! Gotta have Faith! (insert George Micheal tune in your head for the rest of the day)


Phone call from DR. later in the afternoon:
Dr.: SO I hear you are having some difficulties with this pregnancy.
ME: Well I fell much better after coming n today and talking with the ultrasound tech.
Dr.:WELLLLL......your blood work tells us a little different story. I am concerned.
ME: Okay (choking up for the 3945858th time yesterday)
Dr.: Your hormone count is WAAAY high...so you are either having twins or a miscarriage.
Come back on Thursday for another lab test. Bye.

Am I being PUNK'D? I feel like it.

Either 2 babies and whowhowowo and so exciting or sorry another miscarriage have a great day!

That is the biggest, ugliest, fattest fucking OR ever.

Pregnancy is the NEW XANAX!


I am very, very tired this week. I sleep like a drugged tweaker. I pass out at 9 after sleeping on the couch on and off during TV time. I wake up stiff because I don't move...at all.



** Although there will be no more pics of my boozing weekends...I will try not to make this blog all about the fetus.


** I want to post a 5 week or (before) pic...but I am not ready to yet...it was hard to look at them last time. I have one ready...

5 weeks AKA Before

Mother's Day Weekend, Breathing Optional

TEACHBROECK On 5:36 AM

Saturday we indulged in pedicures and Mexican food!


Sunday we were lazy and I read 4 chapters of a "fun nonacademic" book.

We headed to spend time with the other fabulous females in my family.
My beautiful Grandma, cousin, aunt and my mother watching my cousin launch rockets in the park.

Every day is Mother's day with you K.

Thankyou for making me laugh, challenging me as a parent and a person, your random kisses and hugs and even though I think you drive me in sane...you are my true sanity.

AND THEN THERE IS THIS......

TEACHBROECK On 7:59 AM

K found a porn magazine in MY drawer....it is just little stories...A porn reader's digest if you will...only the corner of the magazine was showing, but by the look on her face I KNEW she KNEW....apparently she had found it a couple of days before looking for a "sleep shirt". Of course I was forced to tell her the truth:
That I confiscated it from one of the high school boys when I taught freshmen English a couple years ago. We put that dirty ,sinful thing in the burn box.
Fast forward to last night at dinner...I gave J the "EYE" and told him the story and at the end he asked "Which boy did you take it from?" I gave him the DUMBASS look. You know that is ours!!!
He fell for the story too I guess.

I also rescued it from the burn box last night.

TAG

BEEBOP caught me....

Not sure if 7 people READ this but I will try.

I HATE ketchup, but I LOVE LOVE tomatoes. On pizza, sandwiches, eggs.....



Random Fact #2

I never take this necklace off.

Random Fact #3 I am attracted to Anderson Cooper

Random Fact #4 My first memory is walking down a hospital hallway when my sister was born. I was 4 years old. My mom gave me a Hersey bar.

Random Fact #5 I own a TuPac CD

Random Fact #6 I drank a loogie out of a glass of beer in college. It was a Keg party. Since then SNOT makes me GAG. My students have to blow their noses in the hallway. Puke and poop are no biggie....

I have doing a lot of sitting lately. JUST SITTING.
At lunch ...
At home...
I got the most hurtful message on facebook from my SIL about how badly I treat her brother.
My 21-year-old SIL
Who has a baby (that I love and cherish)
With no father
Who lives at home and spends money on clothes while her parents pay the real bills
Who has never been married
Who has never had a healthy relationship
Who is very spoiled
Who 3 years ago I decided to love through her selfcenteredness and bite my tongue about the shit she gets away with
SHE criticized my marriage.
SHH opened her message with: WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM????!!!!!!
2 Days later it is my fault her bother and her are fighting.
2 Days later his mom is mailing me letters after my attempts to fix this and apologize
I have been doing a lot of sitting.

In my daughter's eyes I am a heroI am strong and wise and I know no fearBut the truth is plain to see

She was sent to rescue meI see who I wanna beIn my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and theworld is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me strength when I am weakI find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her handaround my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart Everything becomes a little clearerI realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving upI've seen the light It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the futureA reflection of who I am and what will be

Though she'll grow and someday leaveMaybe raise a familyWhen I'm gone I hope you see how happyshe made me


For I'll be there In my daughter's eyes

So Far Today....

TEACHBROECK On 8:56 AM




I had a personal day denied. Reason: 1 person already took on on the day I wanted. This Friday 3 people have off for a personal day. Dear Administration. CONSISTENCY look it up and embrace it.
Moving right along.....
In social studies I was teaching about inset maps...we did a few practice things then I told the students to draw the floor plan of their house and then an inset map of just their bedroom. Here is what one of my students brought today. Notice anything phallic?

One of my more "unique" students misplaced his SS test. MISPLACED!! It was not turned into my basket. He told me he took it home. I called home...implored parents to help him look for it (think of pigpen on the Peanuts). This morning I got long note about he left it on his desk, went out for recess and it was still there. That's it. If it was still there where the fuck is it now? She said he will gladly retake it, but umm he was in the room when we went through all the corrections. The grandpubah cheery is the PS...which only could be proved by pictorial evidence.

It is only 11 am. It is only Tuesday.
