What a day! (yesterday)

TEACHBROECK On 1:55 PM

First...

So it was a rough night...all my bragging and bloggin about my good sleeper bit me in the ASS! The dr mentioned it may be a growth spurt when I told her Baby J had been getting up at 2 or 3 am instead of his usual 5am. Last night it was 12, 3, 7 am...not sure if I believe the whole growing spurt thing because he feel asleep mid bottle each time...yet I couldn't soothe him back to sleep with just a pacifier



Next...

Kdog accidentally pinched Baby J's leg in the swing tray. I know she didn't mean it, but it was his first injury and she was all preteen" WHAT??? IT WASN'T MY FAULT! " Normally she is very sensitive to others aches and pains but I think she felt so bad she was trying to downplay it.



Then...

Baby J had his first shots...he did well but still cried hard...my heart melted. he stopped after about 45 seconds...



Then...

It rained...alot...and the sirens went off and the wind blew and we were stuck at the health center! K is having a sleepover tonight and her friend was coming about the time I predicted/planned we would get home and here we were stuck! It all passed..and her friend was right behind us on the way home!



And then...

I was googling the Mirern@ ...which was suppose to be inserted tomorrow at 3pm after weeks of packing the plastic...then I saw all the complaints...NO WAY! I realize for every complaint there is someone who loves it, but I am too nervous to have it INSIDE ME! Guess it back to the pill for me.



Finally...

I asked my nurse who I adore about the NOT having a period for 9 weeks and she said it was very common! VERY..so I want to throttle that other nurse who I called Monday who was all weird and paused in strange places in our conversation leading me to believe I should be worried





It is only 4pm so there could be more....

Badge...I believe you are the only male reader I have...I promise no more period posts! OH wait you have no power hee hee can't read it anyway!

TEACHBROECK On 9:55 AM

family pics went okay.....I HATE THE WAY I LOOK! I Hacked my hair off on a whim and did no yet have the right barrel iron to do it they way I like...K was gorg...didn't even care about the lack of lashes...the web site is down of course or I would get a few to post


I just feel big and slumpy even though I have been working out and trying to be active...

To top it off My friend forwarded me a batch of pics from her friend ( i know here but not well) that were perfect...great outside shots...cute candids with the dog...the baby was all smiles...I just want to chuck ours in the trash...Selfbash day!

I have been hitting redial on my phone like a teenagers trying to get ahold of a DJ...all for LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE musical tickets...Mellisa Gilbert is playing ma and I really want to take K....she has the DVD sets and loves to go to LH museum ...I have seen almost every episode..and still call myself NELLY when I am being a bitch...it is something we have in common...so far no luck...but the Internet sales go on tomorrow


Baby J slept from 10:30pm to 6am...then we slept in bed together until 10...I could not believe it...he had a busy day with pictures...Kdog's game out in the heat then a rehearsal dinner...


Kdog went early to her dad's after game ...she found G & G were staying over night to watch Baby J when we go to a wedding Sat...so I negotiated and gave up part of July 4th (my BDAY) so she could stay with them...she will be such a help and I won't have to show may parents where every single thing is or write out a schedule for the animals she knows all that...



SIDE NOTE 1: Kdog's dad gf is his brother's xwife...HOW JERRY IS THAT I don't think I have blogged much about it, but anyway I hate her...she showed up to K's game on her bike in a sports bra that she must have biked 50 miles to get there...and here I am with a burprag and my pants falling down despite my muffin top



SIDE NOTE 2: I have spent most the am hiding porn since my parents are coming to stay hee hee

We had the rehearsal dinner last night at a dive bar, but the food is awesome...jerk chicken and rice...cooked by Jamaicans that come all the way here during the summer to work at this restaurant..it was good to see all my party girls again..but it will be better Sat when I am going to cut loose in my new dress !

No spicy chicken for you!







Okay to ease my selfbash day I am going to list the good things in my life at this moment
(How very Oprah of me!):



1. Both kids are happy and healthy



2.I am going to a wedding with all my friends this weekend



3. I get to see my hubby in a tux



4. Our sex life has been awesome lately



5. It is not so humid today


I paide over 100 to get color and a cut...she cut layers which I loved when she styled but I can't do it...so I have been wearing my hair like this! for 2 weeks




Umm why do I always take pics right out of bed? I haven't even brushed my teeth here...the necklace is still on from last night! But you get the idea

Snowglobe

TEACHBROECK On 10:21 AM

Once in a great while we find these DISGUSTING creatures n our basement. They are HUGE...they do not match up physically with any of the common spiders I fount on the Internet. they are only in the basement and garage, but I want them GONE. WE already put out 150 bucks in the fall for ladybugs OH EXCUSE ME JAPANESE BETTLES...but I am willing to sell my foot for an exterminator. I wish I would have put a quarter by it to show a better scale. I think its eye is GLOWING!
How can this little poser be the song in my heart one minute and the reason I blow up and cry the next. We have hit a rough patch I am asking God for the patience to love her through this. And maybe she can forgive me for having a temper.
This is K's favorite meal. Yes she still uses the Pooh plate once in awhile...then her food doesn't TOUCH!
Cue angelic, miracle music here: I have done the dishes since I can remember. It was my JOB-I had lots of chores but none I detested more than the dishes. Ww are getting a portable dishwasher very soon for bottles and well the rest of the dishes, but are waiting on a good deal through a family member. ANYWAY...last night K did the dishes....!!!!! Jdog does them for me ALOT.....he knows I hate them and he has always helped me around the house,plus I am not to skimpy on the BJs so we all win =). BUT NOW I HAVE A DISH WASHER GIRL! WHOWHO!!! I did tell her if she did them and her other few chores, I would give her 5 bucks a week. She needs to learn to save and spend ....too bad she already lost a dollar for arguing that one of the dishes was clean when it was obviously dirty. Book your lawyer now folks!

We are getting some snow here....more interesting it is suppose to be breaknipple cold this weekend. As in 35 BELOW zero. Bunker down WI and MN!

Uneventful

TEACHBROECK On 11:42 AM

New Year's was Uneventful. Not even one picture of us, food, or J passed out. In the past I have partied until 3 and then got up at 9 for Bloody Mary's. I was a little irritable (one person pressured me about breast feeding and another acted if teacher's have ALLL this time off and we shouldn't have sick time) and tired, but I dressed up.... put an extra curl in my hair and tried to be festive. We started at our friend's house and ate a lot of shrimp, stuffed mushrooms (my secret recipe) and everyone else a lot of booze...there were drinking games and poker, both of which I watched. I was a little uncomfortable anyway because there were so many kids there watching the drinking games some were even my students! Then at 11pm we headed to the bar where all our younger, wild friends were....we said our hellos and then after a midnight kiss I was ready for home. Jdog tried to wooo me into staying for couple of dances, but at this point I wanted my bed and jammies...he passed out in the car at 12:11 so I am pretty sure it was a good idea to go!

MEANWHILE:
Kdog was invited to hang out with younger friend's kids..I called her to make sure she wanted to stay over, because I passed the house and could have picked her up. Sometimes the idea of sleeping over is great until bedtime and she gets teary. BUT she stayed.....she also did not go to BED until 4am....4 friggin AM!!!!! Needless to say she went to bed at 6:30 last night.

Don't get me wrong I would rather be pregnant any day than get drunk on NYE it is just our tradition to drink lots and be merry!

It feels okay to be back at school...I loved long mornings in bed with the cat...watching the Today show random trips to Tar get... making breakfast for Kdog that didn't come from the freezer...

I have slowly been trying to catch up on some blogs....if I haven't be there soon!

PS I just started this....

QUESTION

TEACHBROECK On 9:39 AM


If 40 is the new 30 ....then why does 8 seem like the new 18?

8

TEACHBROECK On 5:55 AM





8 years ago one of my dreams came true.



After 22 hours of back labor God gave me a beautiful 7 pound 11 ounce baby girl.



You slept through the night at 3 weeks and had a beautiful Gerber baby face. For some reason I never felt tired or impatient (like every day now) with you and was blessed with the gift of knowing what to do to make you happy. I have watched you grow taller, wiser, smartmouther..I have watched your heart break, your skin scar, your tonsils disappear...I have watched you cheer for every person on the team, forget your manners, and loose your teeth






My favorite thing about you at this moment is how you cherish the little things



A sunrise, "the view", a comphy bed, a warm cup of hot chocolate



I hope that part of you remains forever



And that you forgive me for not letting you have a Gameboy or a TV in your room.



I am sorry for the mistakes I have made, the yelling I have done, the sarcastic comments I have said and the times I was just too busy or tired

Happy Birthday baby girl.



Thank you for making my black and white life go TECHNICOLOR HI DEF



Birthday Part One

TEACHBROECK On 9:04 AM

Last weekend we indulged Kdog in her birthday present from Jdog. It is an upscale Chuckee Cheese if you will. On a beautiful Saturday we took her and a friend to spend obnoxious amounts of money on useless games to save paper tickets that she spent on a fart maker. REALLY. Even with thousand of tickets you could only buy a stale gummy worm or a plastic piece of junk. Of course the had Wii and PlayStation 2 for 30580394860945860239485 tickets. I guess if I spent every day at ACTION CITY, I might begin to save up, but umm I work and have a life so NO!


I was impressed by:



- the VERY friendly staff



-the very CLEAN machines



-the YUMMY pizza for dirt cheap



-the lack of waiting ...at all...before lunch we had the joint to ourselves...which didn't make for the best bumper car rally but ....even as we left in the late afternoon I didn't feel like I did at I did at Valley Fair KID CLAUSTROPHOBIC!!!



-Never once did I have a headache form cartoony overplayed music



-never did I feel the urge to shower off the layer of kid grime



-KDOG LOVED IT



THE BEST THING WAS THIS:

This Deal or no Deal game was for tickets. It was soo realistic I felt like Howie may pop out at any moment with a soda and a piece of pizza and some money. We were hootin and hollering the whole time. Of course we refused the banker every time!


GO KARTS

KAYAK-this was the most amusing to watch because neither girl had any avid kayaking experience and the whole machine shook and turned as they watched the screen of rapids.


BUMPER CARS

MAZE: Great time to relax and watch my daughter act like a lab rat.

Some virtual roller coaster

This MACHINE is actually sucking the tickets in because ain't no way I was counting them all up!

Hope you had fun K.....

Birthday part 2 includes: Only half the girls I had last year. Bonfire (no kids in my damn kitchen!!) High School Musical 2 crap. and One sleepover girl of MY choice. That is next Friday.

nightie night

TEACHBROECK On 10:11 AM

KDog slept through the night at 3 weeks old...LUCKY I KNOW!!!! YEHA GOOD SLEEPER!!!
Fast forward....
I am going to document the things she yells out...so when she is a mom she can see it!
((Her room is kiddy corner to the living room and she gets "scared" if we are up or downstairs))

Me: Brush your teeth, go potty and then time to read K.
-WHAT??????? What time is it? Never mind it is time to read.
-IT IS NOT EVEN MY BEDTIME You got up at 5:30 it IS your bedtime tonight.
She reads for 20 minutes. I read to her 15 minutes. I say good night, tuck in, kisses hugs..EXIT
10 seconds later
-I need a drink Here. Good night I love you.
-I need a hug I hugged you!
-But I didn't hug you! -FINE
-Come check on me I always do!
-In 5 minutes AT COMMERCIAL!
-Are the doors locked? YES!
-What are you doing? GO TO BED
-mom?
-mom?
-mom?
-mom?
KNOCK IT OFF~
-please just come here... K-Dog I am tired please stop (aka..my fuckin show is on leave me alone!) What do you need?
-Can you turn my music down? WHAT? Reach over and do it yourself GOOD NIGHT!
-I love you. You too K.
-To the moon and back.
-I mean Jupiter and back...wait mom Jupiter isn't a planet ((here I am being quiet buy stabbing my eyeballs with the remote))
-I love you to ZENA and back (damn science teacher)
15 minutes of silence
-I smell popcorn!!! I NEVER get any POPCORN!! NO FAIR YOU ALWAYS make it when I go tot bed. SHUTUP YOU HAD A DESERT~
-Can I have one piece?
-one?
-COME ON!!!! K-Dog if you don't be quiet you are grounded.
-Head peeps over the couch...one piece? GO TO BED.....QUIT WATCHING THE TV AND MARCH IT YOUNG LADY (oh god I am my mother)
5 minutes of silence
-Mom don't get mad I am just going to the bathroom. (flush)
-Can you come tuck me in? IF YOU GET OUT OF THAT BED I AM GOING TO NAIL YOUR DOOR SHUT ---FOREVER~
30 minutes pass and I kiss the sweet sleeping girl on the head and feel guilty about the last thing she heard....

Girls Night!

Girls Night!
Girls Night!,

Tuesday, K and I went to go get pedicures. Of course it was ZERO degrees the next day (down from 70s!) so no flip-flops to show them off! It was a reward for her doing so well at our schools reading incentive program. I have mixed feelings about our program as they put a numerical value to the tests taken about books. The number lends itself into a competition among the students, and its purpose is to motivate each child individually. One child may work very hard to get say 12 points where another can easily get 30. I feel bad for the 12-point child who looks at the number and then feels bad. Anyway K deserves recognition for her efforts and I am proud of her. Today, for the school reward she gets to spray paint a teacher’s hair pink in front of the school. (you may remember one brave teacher that let a student CHOP HER HAIR OFF for last quarter's reward! =) HAPPY EASTER TO ALL OF YOU!!
