this week!

So my son turned 12 and I turned 34-on the same day!-it's always special for me....I love that his birthday is on mine! We went to Red Lobster and I swear the two times I've gone to the one here we don't even make it home without having to make a pitstop-the poor toilet we stopped at last night was Target...we just couldn't make the next four miles to our house. Turning 34 was kind of sad-Next year is 35 and then in five years after that I'll be 40....I didn't know I could get that old! For those of you past 40 I'm sure you feel my pain. But Bring It! I worked all week which is why this is not updated. I taught 1st grade on Tues, Weds, and Friday-loved it the first two days the kids were great, all hugs and smiles. Thursday I did middle school 7th grade and really liked it. You have a new set of kids every fifty minutes-I like that and that's what I'm going to aim for. Then Friday I had another class from hell-1st graders. In the first hour a cute little imp walked by touched my stomach and said,"you got a baby in there?"...can I drop kick a first grader-wanted to-which really made me feel old because people use to ask my mother that all the time so it made me feel old. One girl peed her pants on the playground and I found out later that she was a foster child. I sent one kid to ISS-IN SCHOOL SUSPENSION-a first grader, for stealing another kid's candy and trying to eat it. I saw the other first graders I taught and they were giving me hugs and I loved it-I just wanted to be with them. We are going to see Elizabethtown today because I want to. Paula Dean is in it. I love her. I want to be her. She looks like a woman who loves to cook for her family. You just walk in her home and she's making you the perfect thing. Could you imagine her as a grandmother?? Oh I so want to be her. When I'm a grandmother I'm going to spoil my grandkids, cook for them, make cookies for them-I can't wait until my kids are in their thirties having children. She's so sweet and just looks like you could just have a good time with her and know she loves you no matter what-she's who inspires me. I like getting together with people and want to get together with my kids all the time when they are older. I tell Shane all the time that it's not right now that the kids will remember it's wehn your older and they are older that they will remember. I know that is the case for me. I love being around my dad, listening to him, taking advice from him, it's what I remember. By the way good luck with not smoking dad! Anyhow she's in the movie so I have to see it. I love to cook and make things for people. This weekend I'm making my homemade chicken soup and it is so good! My gift to my family. Shane's fixing up the garage, my daughter has a date, my son is playing his new games. They both got their report cards and are doing great! I'm so proud of them. Tomorrow is Miami against Tampa-go Miami. I have lots to catch up on today! So what do you think for a Halloween costume-I think we are going to make Shane a kissing booth costume with kisses all over him and I will be the girl in line with my bag of quarters and some really funky teeth wanting to kiss him, or maybe I'll be the preacher's daughter who can't get enough? Two more weeks to decide! I must also say that he blew out all the candles in one breath and mine too! I'm also reading A Million Little Pieces and it's good so far! I will be gone all weekend trying to get it done and then the week after next The Predator by Patricia Cornwell-so I'm off to clean some bathrooms! Oh Tricia is due May 21st! She's cleared for Chicago! C-
