23 years down

This past weekend was so fun!! Friday night we went out... I got so drunk I slipped and fell if front of everyone and busted my ass. I could not stop laughing. Saturday Nick and I hung out all day and had people over to watch the sad display of football. Sunday Nick and I got up early, went to this great breakfast buffet at cafe 11 and then went shopping all day. Does it get any better? yes it does... We got home and watched Desperate Housewives and Brothers and sisters... My perfect day!:) Saturday when we were at lunch we went to Chik-fil-a. We saw two cute little red headed boys who were walking out at the same time as we were. The little boy who looked about five looked up at his dad and said "dad, are these buildings made by cows" His dad smiled and said "no son, people" "well there are cows holding up signs all over the place"... Me and Nick were laughing so hard. It was the sweetest thing ever... I love kiddies. Anyways, My weekend could not have been more perfect. I really got lucky in the husband department. ;) OH, AND MY BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW, 23 here I come:::sigh:::

A few quotes I like:

Turning one hundred was the worst birthday of my life. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Turning 101 was not so bad. Once you're past that century mark, it's just not as shocking.
-Annie Elizabeth Delany,

Age does not diminish the extreme disappointment of having a scoop of ice cream fall from the cone.
-Jim Fiebig

"Age affects how people experience time. The observations on this are well known, so it is only necessary to outline briefly what has been the experience of everyone I have ever talked to or read about: the years go faster as one gets older. At the age of four or six, a year seems interminable; at sixty, the years begin to blend and are frequently hard to separate from each other because they move so fast! There are, of course, a number of common-sense explanations for this sort of thing. If you have only lived five years, a year represents 20 percent of your life; if you have lived fifty years, that same year represents only 2 percent of your life, and since lives are lived as wholes, this logarithmic element would make it difficult to maintain the same perspective on the experience of a year’s passage throughout a lifetime."
-Edward T. Hall,

Oh no she di-ant!

OMG, some people take Halloween costumes a little too far... at what point do you say "ok, this is a little too slutty"? I mean, wearing a bra and underwear really is not a costume... and when you have kids, it is just plain wrong! Cover it up people, leave a little for the imagination.

Jenn, your baby shower invites are the cuttest I have ever seen!!!

GO VOTE!

I'm ready to vote! I have done my homework and can't wait to get this election over with! I get so annoyed reading and hearing about peoples one-sided views. I really think that some people just don't have an open mind at all and only see what they want to see. It is amazing to me how two different people can watch or read the same exact thing and yet only remember the parts that they agree with and not measure things as a whole. It is sad how the media can sway peoples' opinions on things. I don't want to say who I am voting for because I don't like arguing about politics. I will say however, that I hope everyone takes a good look and really makes the right choice :) happy voting!

On another note, I had a rough day at work. Sometimes work is so emotionally exhausting. Sometimes I wonder if I am actually making a difference or if some people are just bound to fail. People really just dont know how to manage life. I really believe that we should do EVERYTHING in our power to maintain those family ties but sometimes it just kills me to see parents who choose drugs, men, and laziness over their own children. I guess you can lead a horse to water but you cant make them drink it... is that how it goes? Lately, I feel like that is totally happening with my cases. Wish I could go into detail, but I cant. I just have to internalize it and my heart breaks for some of these babies. Anyways, I have training AGAIN tomorrow. 7 steps to healthy families. It is part two. Last week was good. I am excited about the weekend... Nick finally gets a break from school. We are going shopping for Halloween costumes, and my birthday. :) Yay for birthdays, I got money today:))
Hope everyone is having a lovely week.

I made it!

So I just got back from the USA 5k run. I am sooo tired. I ran most of it but had to stop and walk a good bit. I can now say with full confidence that I am so out of shape. I had a five year old boy pass me with his mother!!!!! I laughed to myself so I wouldn't cry. Also, I had some people pass me that were old enough to be my grandparents. Too bad I guess, I am just glad I finished. We had a good time. Nick is still there cleaning up for extra credit.
This happened at work the other day and I thought it was funny. I had one of my crazy parents go up to their kids school and fuss at the principal for like 30 minutes. Once the parent left the principal called me to ask what was going on and have me fax over a court order. I am not kidding, these were the exact words of this principal of an Elementary school... " Mam, let me tell ya, I hate my job, but there is no way I could EVER do yours! I don't know how you deal with these people; they would make me crazy!" All I could do was laugh. It is so nice to hear the leader of a school tell someone he has never met how much he hates his job. :)
I guess there isn't really much else to blog about... so until next time. Au revoir!

an interesting trip to the bank!

Today the funniest thing happened... I was at the bank in the drive in. A lady pulled up on the side of me. I heard her because she was screaming. "Hey, I am not a customer anymore because you people lie to me! I want my 2 dollars out of my account. I want to close my account and I BETTER get my 2 dollars! I had ten dollars and you people took 8. I have already spoken to the president of the bank and he said I can come pick up my money... I am on chemo- ther-p and I want my 2 dollars TODAY." I notice that at first the teller was trying not to giggle. She looked at me ( i was in the first lane) as if to say "this bitch is crazy". Then she had a look of panic in her eyes. I drive off and wait a little while to pull out. As i am driving down the street I see a cop heading that way turn his siren on. HE PULLED INTO THE BANK. Omg! I wanted to turn around but I had to hurry up to get to the gym on time for my class. It was pretty funny, I almost gave her two dollars, but I didn't have any cash on me. Crazy ass people.

rollin with the hommies :)....clueless

So we went to horror night at Universal last Thursday... We thought it closed at 2 and it closed at 12. We only got to go through 3 or 4 haunted houses, they were mediocre, the lines were long. I was not too impressed and I don;t feel like it was worth the drive.
This past Friday Duncan baby was super sick.... $300 worth of vet bills later, we still don't know what happened. Nick came home and Duncan pooped and threw up in like 7 different places (we have carpet people)... All I can say is that I am glad I wasn't the first one home! :) Nick scrubbed it up. We have had Duncan eating boiled chicken and rice since then, talk about annoying to cook! But we love our baby, Nick is going to make the best day.... aww.
This weekend was pretty laid back, all I did was clean and watch tv. Nothing interesting. I know my life is boring. I have court in the morning... with the mean judge. I hope I don't get my ass chewed out. I'm so nervous!
I have also been studying for the praxis test, I bought a book. I never knew how dumb I was until I started reading basic elementary crap that I should have learned in first grade... I am learning new things! Sad, I know!!! But it is kinda cool to actually understand where apostrophes go and why... I used to just place them haphazardly through my writing, not anymore!!! :) That is a little embarrassing, don't judge me! I went to public school bitches! lol
I also have my eye on a new hand bag... and it is not coach! I am so proud of myself. I want it for Christmas but I don't think I can wait that long. I will try to hold out. Peace out hommies, and I know what you are thinking... yes, I am delirious! It has been a LONG day.

Feel the burn

I did not have a great day.... I found out that my unit at work will be switching offices in about a couple of weeks. I'm going to miss the people that are not moving with us :( I think I hate change! Also, it is going to be a longer commute, I am so annoyed!!! My supervisor was looking at me wondering if I would quit. It was funny. I also worked out for 2 1/2 hours today... go me! I did this sculpting class which was neat. I think I am going to be super sore tomorrow.
Also, we are going to horror night this Thursday with Nick and his friends from work in Orlando. I am pumped, I CANT WAIT!!!!
Thanks to Jenn for the AWESOME necklaces and the wrapping paper with my babies pics on it. She also sent me a CD full of pictures... I LOVE THEM... my babies are getting so big :(. 5-7 months!!! Big things to come, I'll keep you updated as I find out more about what the future holds ;)
God made the world round so we would never be able to see too far down the road.
