Manic Monday

As I type this my living room and kitchen is still filled with smoke. My husband woke me up this morning at 6:00. I have to leave my house by 6:20 at the LATEST in order to get to work on time. I got into my car at 6:28 and of course was late...as I walked into school I hummed just "Another Manic Monday." That was my theme for the day....

I did not seem to be alone, several of my friends seemed to be having one of those days too.

When I got home Tom asked what I wanted for dinner. I have entered the third trimester which does weird things to the appetite, I eat because I have to but generally nothing really sounds good to me. Tom was starving. "How about the popcorn shrimp?"
"Ummm not for me but go ahead, I think I am going to have a grilled peanut butter."
While fixing dinner I completely inhaled a whole bag of grapes. Tom decided to fry his shrimp because it would be faster. Upon putting the shrimp in the pan it turned completely BLACK and filled the kitchen with smoke. Then it melted the spoon he was using, I mean MELTED. I managed to burn one grilled peanut butter so take two. The second sandwich snapped the spatula in half. Needless to say we should have ordered a pizza.

I am glad that this Monday is coming to an end. =)

Random musings of a crazy woman

My mind this morning is spinning like a top but not neccessarrily about anything in particular. So I decided to blog...plus it sounds like more fun that working on the MOUND of stuff that I have to do on my desk.

  • It's Friday! TGIF, it has been a LONG week. Granted we didn't have school on Monday but it was a long week.
  • Sleeping, I do very little of it, lately. Partly because I can't get comfortable and the other part is I am up constantly to pee. I also am I "hot" sleeper normally. Now that Duece is cooking right along I am getting hotter and hotter. To accomodate for this I have become a bed hopper. I literally change beds throughout the night looking for cold sheets. Once I am in a cold bed, I'm out for a little while. This may be putting a small damper on my marriage....or at least my husband's favorite part of the marriage but hey what's a girl going to do. Plus as much as I love snuggling it's way more comfortable to have a bed to yourself.
  • A good friend is our school social worker. We always joke that some people think that she does nothing but get mannie's and pedi's all day. As a special education teacher, I have realized that some people think that of me. That or they think I have the kids coloring, sorting crayons, making pot-holders and licking paste. ---- Just for references I do try to teach. I realize that they may not learn a lot, it may not be quality, but damn it we're trying. =)
  • Keeping my pants up. As my "many" readers know I have trouble keeping my pants up. Some will say it is because I have no butt. I guess I agree. I had to buy a new pair of maternity jeans because my jeans from when I was pregnant with Jack will NOT stay up to save my life. These new ones were perfect. So I bought a second pair, EXACTLY the same!!!! And you know what?? They will not stay up!!!!! When does a girl get a break?

I suppose I should get to work now. Oh and by the way, my oldest child made another train extravaganza last night.

Little boys


I love my husband but sometimes he is like a little kid. Case in point ...this is what he did after Jack went to bed. I am not going to have two boys I have three!
