yummo

If any of you do not recognize me after this summer it will probably be due to the snowballs I MUST stop to buy every day on my way home. I have got to learn how to control myself. Yay for spring!

no she di'ant!

Sunday Jordin and I went out to eat lunch and to the mall. I bought so much stuff.... what fun! I spent a little more than I should have but it was well worth it. It was so good to spend time with my sister. She really has no idea how entertaining she is to be around. I wish we could hang out more often. Sunday night my sweet husband went WAY out of his way. My battery was almost dead and he was worried my car wouldn't start in the morning for work. He decided at 11:30pm after Freddie and him were done installing speakers in the garage, or "man cave" as he calls it, to go to wal-mart and buy me a new battery. He ended up having to fin my car in his underwear at 6:30am the next morning... but that is another story. Anyways, he walks out of wal-mart to his bar and there is a note folded up on his door handle. If you are shelter or easily offended please stop reading now. *****I am not shitting you..... this is EXACTLY what this note said..... this is a direct quote....... "Saw you go in store-- you are hot!! want a blow job? Just sit back & enjoy...will swallow-- meet at old ferry landing (court st near levee)- come up-who would know?"
WTF????? Who would put this on someones car?????? Nick said he felt like he was being watched and someone was going to kill him. There are truly some crazy ass people in this world. No telling who this crack whore is but I feel sorry for her! It got my head swiveling and me saying "no she di'ant!"

On to the next thing...My Monday started out pretty funny. I get to school and the first thing out of one of my kids was "Mrs. Cicero.... I got a Lil boosie fade this weekend....you like it?" He was referring to his new hair cut. I just thought it was funny because of the way he said it. I didn't even know who Lil boosie was. I later found out that he is a rapper. Anyways, Monday afternoon I get a call from Nick. He was supposed to go to the Citizen Cope concert with his buddy who could not make it. He knows I am a grandma in bed by 9:00 on Mondays especially because I have duty at 6:50 on Tuesday. I felt sorry for him and guilty about all the work he did on my car so I decided to go. We went and ate dinner at Chimes and headed in. We sat at the balcony. We had the best seats in the place. The opening band was amazing! I wanted to buy their CD but it is not out yet and I really don't know the name of the band. The women sounded like Amy Winehouse but better! I could have left then and been totally happy. Citizen Cope was amazing too. We had so much fun! We have been together for over 8 years and have been to very few concerts together. That was by far the best one I have been to and in the top 10 list of best "dates" ever. maybe top 20. Anyways, this is all part of my goal of becoming more fun. I have realized within the past few years that I am a homebody. sp?? I really don't like to get out much if at all. Nick on the other hand loves going out. I am really making an effort to do more... it usually turns out to be really fun. I am glad he got to see his concert and we got to have such a fun night. I love my man! Tuesday on the other hand was a bit of a trainwreack. I was so tired. But, my new motto for life it "I will get plenty of sleep when I'm dead". And it is so true. I need to quit being so responsible and worrying about everything I have to do and how many hours of sleep I will get and let lose. Jordin even convinced me to buy skinny jeans and showed me how to wear them! thanks Jo, I am now a bad ass! :)

Hopefully the beautiful weather will hold out and everyone will have a good weekend. I have been oober-productive this week and I am looking forward to whatever comes my way this weekend.

I also got some sad relationship news tonight about someone. I hope I helped. I just think about my relationship and how it IS hard sometimes. Everyone goes through rough patches but it is how you get through those patches that speaks volumes. I am not always good with words but I wanted to throw this in to remind anyone who reads this that true love is rare and precious. Don't wait until it is too late to tell people how you really feel. Silence can be a dangerous thing in relationships. This life is really too short to "wait and see". Lets all do our best to let our loved ones know that they are loved. I am going to go and kiss my husband now.

I found this quote which puts to words exactly what I think... and it happens to be from St. Augustine.... ironic?

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident."
-St. Augustine

night.

taking advantage of the beautiful weather!

WOW, what a beautiful day! Nick and I went to the Station bar last night with his cousin, Luke, and Freddie. We got home around 2 and went to bed. At 7am I was wide awake and decided to wake Nick up so he could bring me to the St. Patty's day parade. We met my high school friend Trisha and some of her friends. It was by far the longest parade I have EVER been to. There were probably 200 floats. It lasted hours! The Irish really do know how to have a good time. I got home and decided to lay out. I took my patio furniture and moved it out into the sun. Then, I went and got a snowball!!!! I hve been waiting ever so patiently for that stand to open! When I got home I decided that the flowerbeds were starting to look shabby so I weeded them and used the blower to blow off the driveway. All the while Nick was re-cooperating in the house. I also cleaned the patio area. I am inspired to paint....so I think I may be going to Wal-mart to buy some paint. What a great day it has been. That's about all I've got!

school story

I just thought of something funny one of my kids did in class today. We were talking about force, motion , etc. In their workbook they had a picture of a bus with no wheels. I asked the children what needed to be added to make the bus move. One of my kids said "I'm gonna put 24's on that mother" and drew these HUGE wheels with rims. It was SOOOO funny!

just a thought

What do you do when the one thing that will complete your life is totally out of your control? It is a hard thing to think about. This week was tough. Hopefully next month will be easier.

Yet another reason to hate my teeth!

My teeth are obviously pissing me off these days for various reasons. First of all, I went to the oral surgeon a few weeks ago and he said I need to get my wisdom teeth taken out. I have made the decision to not torture myself (due to the IV and other terrible devices he must use) so that visit cost me about $150. My insurance might pay me back but I am not sure yet. Then my bristles on my electric toothbrush were getting old so I went to the store and spent $20 on a stupid toothbrush head to replace it. I get home and take it out of the box and of course the crap doesn't fit. Even though it LOOKS exactly the same and it is made by the same company it doesn't fit. OK, I swallow the money and go for attempt #2. This time I bring the damn toothbrush with me to be SURE that get the right one. I find the head, looks the same, same company, same NAME! I get home and take it out of the packaging. The shit still doesn't fit. At this point I have spent over $40 on tooth brush bristles and I still don't have any that I can use. As I was about to call the company to bitch them out about their packaging I read the print on the back of the package that says THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT FIT ORAL B SONIC VITALITY. I am sooo mad. I hate teeth. What do I have to do to get my freaking bristles to fit!!!!! I wish I could just have dentures!

Always random

I know it has been quite a long time since I have posted. That is becoming the trend these days. My life is just far too boring I suppose. School has been going well. I feel like I finally have an idea of what is going on and some of the children in my class are doing really well. Random story: I had one child the other day call another child a "serious killer". To most of you this may not be funny but it cracked me up. Also, I had the children write thank-you notes to my in-laws for sending them cumquats (my class loves them for some reason). So this one kid is writing his note and I walked over to him and asked him to read it to me. It said "Thank you for the cumquat. It made me sick. I threw up green all night". On the cover he drew a picture of him over a toilet with green lines coming from the head. I laughed so hard then I explained to him that maybe that wasnt a good way to say thank-you to someone. Kids!

The past couple weekends have been busy. Two weeks ago we went up to Ruston for Eli's first birthday. He is getting to be such a big boy. It turned out to be a really fun time. it was good getting to visit with the family without having people running back and forth to take care of the bar. This past weekend we went to an all women parade in Baton Rouge and hung out with some friends at Pastimes. It was a good time. Saturday I picked up Kali and Sara and brought them for begneits. They loved them. It is hard to get their hands off of the powderd sugar though. Saturday night we went to Nick's cousin's wedding and Sunday we went to work at the bar for the Addis mardi-gras. And of coure Sunday night was the stupid super bowl. I watched very little of it. I never have been nor will I ever be a football fan let alone a Saints fam. I am just glad it is over with. I am sick of having to dig through my closet for black and gold dress days on fridays. And the pep rallies... God forbid they actually learn something at school. A Saints pep rally is so much more important!

The coutdown is ON! We go skiing in 3 days. Breckenridge here we come!!!! I can't wait. I am quite sad that it may be colder here than in Colorodo though. How crazy is that? I expect to have a fabulous time anyway.

I got my hair done tonight. If anyone is looking for a wonderful hair stylist Kendall Bankston is great. She works at A. Marcelite in Baton Rouge. If she can make my sister happy you know she has talent! :) Anyways... I love iT!

So... that's all I've got... I'm out!
