Blah!

I am so beyond sleepy today.  It is my halfway point through work and I am done!  Too bad I can't be done.  No more Tylenol PM for me!!! Well, Jeremy works tonight so the kids and I are out to fend for ourselves this evening.  Wonder what to do? Let's see, prolly dinner consisting of who knows what, followed by baths, a little play/tv time, then bed by 7:30.  Then on to the hot bath!!!  I swear I have a small library of magazines in there.  It really is ridiculous.  I  am listening to amy's cd of Echoes of the 70's and Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word is playing.  If you haven't heard it, you should.  Not really pump you up type of music though.  I hope today picks up.  Like the title says........BLAH!

SHOUT OUT!!!

What?!?! Do you see this people?? I have a whopping 4...count em' 1...2...3...4...followers! Woo to the Hoo! Watch out world! Here I come!!! Ok, as promised, I must give a big shout out to Alan who figured out all by himself how to create a Google acct!! Now if he can only figure out how to get a picture instead of a shadow! The suspense is killing me! Ok ok I'll lay off or my following might decrease by 25%. Not good! i am still working on hacking into Cat...aka...LONNA's acct so I can make her into a face instead of a shadow. She isn't as dedicated as others....
Today was a good day! Even though my partner in crime, Amy, was still not at work, I still had fun ALL BY MYSELF! Don't get me wrong, I am SO ready for her to come back! i have been actually teaching WAY too much. i think I may be forced to take a mental health day if my mad teaching skills continue as they have lately.

Hey! I have a question, and I want to see if ANYONE will actually answer. Here goes....What do you think is your best quality? It could be a strength, talent, physical attribute, whatever!

I will start the ball rolling by being the first one to answer. I feel my best quality is.....erm.....stupid question! Erm.....I want to say I'm a good listener, but that would depend on who I am listening too. Maybe it is my rockin ability to bring humor to any situation. Problem is, sometimes I don't INTEND to bring the humor. Sometimes i cause the humor. Anywho, see if you can answer better than me. GOOD LUCK!!

Well it's Monday again! They come around too often if you ask me. Anywho, I had an overall GREAT weekend!! Friday started it off with a mani/pedi combo at my most FAVORITEST ( yes that is a word in my vocabulary) nail spot with Cat! Then, on to dinner at Fugi with friends. Ok, if you haven't been to dinner with Monica, let me say, you are in for a treat!! It's like dinner and a show wrapped into one! We went to Fugi as a Sunday School get together. And Monica DRANK the ginger salad dressing!! I'm not shocked...I guess I should be. After that, we went to the church and played board games. WAIT! Let me back up.....Ok I know i'm not Spring chicken, but I was far from being the oldest one there!! *COUGH COUGH DUSTY* And somehow it became a make fun of Jaime event. How does that always happen? First it was my trash bag jacket, which I love and admit it resembles glad! Then it was me being a year older than Jeremy. I want everyone to know that it is perfectly acceptable for a woman to be older than a man in a relationship. Look it up.....sometimes it's better! Anywho....boardgames! When we met back at the church, Alan and Jessica joined us for a rousing game of Battle of the Sexes. For those of you who don't know, it is where the girls answer stereotypically male questions and the guys answer stereotypically female questions. Well the guys won. Or should i say Jeremy and Everett won. Alan pretended he didn't know girl stuff and Dusty just shouted loudly. I don't even think he knew what was going on...lol. But the girls came back to win Cranium. Which if you think about it, you have to be smart to win that one. The guys were just girly to win theirs. So that was a really fun night!
Saturday, was nice and relaxing. We got some winter shopping for the kids done. Then Eli took Bibi on a date to see When the Wild Things Are ( He even paid!)
Sunday is always busy! Took a stupid trip to Wal Mart. Bad idea. Then basically back to church. Our pretend group had to put on a mini concert Sunday night. After getting help with some very technical difficulties, it was smooth sailing. Shout out to Dalton and Cait for the spirit filled moments! :) Interesting conversations......but I'll save that for later! LOVE YA!

Ok.... now I am sitting in class AGAIN!! This time for more smartboard training. Woo to the hoo no kids today!! I am trying to kill time before my class starts in 15 minutes. I still see no one is reading this blog. That's ok, I am just waiting for it to take off and be the new rage. I may be waiting for quite a while.....whatcha think?


Continued from this am....... Ok..so I know a bit about how to use a smartboard. I am comfortable getting up and demonstrating how they are used. So, in every class there comes the moment I HATE!!! I HATE GETTING UP IN FRONT OF PEOPLE!!!! If you are reading this and you have ever seen me at church you may think," What? She sings in front of everyone often." I know I know. I don't know why or how I can do that. But if anyone asks me to speak in front of a group or answer a question I totally freak! And yes, I am aware I am a teacher and I ask that of others all the time. That is why I am not a good student. So back to my point, I was feeling ok about demonstrating skills at the smartboard. That was until the teacher asked me to get up and use a PROTRACTOR to answer a question. My mind went BLANK!!! I basically refused to get up. "F" for me today. :( Sigh............ I need encouragement.

WHAT?!?!?

I am sooooo shocked! I can't believe I don't have about 1,500 followers and bookoodles of comments on my oh so exciting blogs!!! LOL! Come on Cathy and Amy....throw me a bone! Ok, I am now sitting in the 2nd and final class for blogging. Umm....does it usually take 2 afternoons to learn how to do something new? I guess when you're teaching teachers it does. I am so sleepy today. I know I'm not the only one. It seems like every morning it gets harder and harder to get out of bed. OLD AGE!!! (no comments) :)

Hhhhhhmmmmmmmm.......................

Is It Just Me?

Why is it that a person can go from not being needed by anyone to being needed by seemingly everyone overnight? I am tired. I am tired physically, mentally, and emotionally. Good thing God keeps me energized spiritually. The thing is.........I want to be needed. It just seems like everyone gets together and says, "NOW"! I am glad that people feel that they can come to me. That is a characteristic that I would never want to wish away. Even if it meant a less stressful life. *sigh* I just hope and pray that I can provide what is needed from me.......love, advice, and sometimes just listening.
