It's been awhile...

Gosh, I cant believe it has been a whole week since I last updated my blog! I use to update it a couple of times a day on some days now I hardly have the time and when I do have a free minute I would rather be doing something else all together. Nothing exciting has really been going on in my life. Valentine's Day has come and gone! Thank goodness. It is one of my least favorite holidays of the year so I am thankful that it is over. The girls liked their Valentine's gifts so that is really all that matters. I spent my Valentine's Day doing a whole lot of NOTHING. Jessica came over and we got some pizza and watched Saw V. It was a good movie but I think the whole Saw thing is really getting old. It is time for a new scary movie with a whole new plot. I have been working everyday lately which is going to be great when payday rolls back around. I am already booked for everyday in March which is good because I wanted to get in as many days as possible before spring break. I also have recently gotten a fence put up in my backyard! I am super excited about it. Clint Livesay came and put it up yesterday. He just has to come back and do a few more things...Im hoping since it hasnt rained all day today that maybe he will get it finished up today or even tomorrow. It is going to be so nice this summer when the girls play outside and I dont have to chase them all over the place. He is also very affordable so I would suggest him to anyone that is interested in getting a fence. I have got several more things I want to do to the house this spring. I am going to box in the bottom part of my back deck which will really look good once that is done. I am also going to plant some trees and do some landscaping during spring break hopefully. I would love to build a carport but Ill just have to wait and see what happens with the job market before I do that. It will really look nice once I get all of this done. I am so excited to finally be in MY own home! How fabulous!? Well I will write more at a later date...hopefully sooner than later. Until next time...

Just a Random Blog

I haven't written a blog in a few days so while sitting here bored at the high school I thought I would use my time wisely and write a new blog. Unfortunately I have nothing important to write about...go figure! Life has been good lately. This weekend I went on a date...Red Lobster and a movie. It was really good and I also had a good time. I also picked the girls up some shoes for the summer/fall that I found on sale at Dillards. I got them for $10.50 a pair and they are Stride Rite so I thought that was a great deal. Sunday night was an awful night for sleep. I had a hard time getting one of the girls to go to bed...she was so mad for some reason. She even hit me in the eye with a sippy cup! The other one went to sleep with no problem but I have no idea how she slept through such a fit! Luckily the past two nights have been better. Monday night they went to sleep with no problem...I even went to bed when they did because I was so tired. Last night was okay too. Zoie started to get a little fussy and has this problem with throwing herself down onto the bed...no matter what is in her path which just happened to be my lip which she busted. I picked her up and laid her on the pillow and surprisingly she went right to sleep. It is like they have to be touching me in order to go to sleep these days so I normally have one on each side of me. So after the busted lip they both fell asleep and slept good all night! YAH! It is always a little rough for a few days after they have been to Jon's for the weekend. They seem to have a hard time adjusting to being back at home. I would really like to know how they get them to sleep??? I was dreading being at the high school today more than anything. I want to be home with the girls. I think the next opportunity I get to be at home on Wednesday I am going to take it so I can get in a little QT with the girls. Well I am going to do a little reading. Until next time...

Tuesday Talks: First Day of ESS

Well my first day of ESS has not been what I expected because I got pulled from ESS to sub for a first grade teacher who was feeling sick and had to go home :( I did, however, get to have my first group this morning so at least I got a start on it. The first group is 30 minutes long and the rest of them are 20 minutes each. Luckily tomorrow I get to make up today so I got to cancel my sub day at the high school! I am so happy because after yesterday I did not want to go back over there! I just hate it. I am scheduled there next Wednesday...I hope it goes better than the last couple of times I have had to sub there. Im going to stick it out because I need the money but I dont know if I will schedule anymore days there. I guess it depends on how desperate I am for sub days. At least I will get to make up ESS tomorrow and I'll make the money that I soooo need to make! It has started snowing a little out but I am hoping that it doesnt amount to anything because I dont want to miss any school this week. My throat is hurting again today. I think Im going to break down and take the z-pac because I dont think it is going to go away on its own and I dont want to be sick and missing work. Today I have to take the girls to their wic appointment. I dread going up there...especially if the lady who did my wic last time I took the girls up there does it this time....she was so slow and the girls were so ready to go home. It was like she was just trying to waste time for who knows what reason. Oh I almost forgot that I went to file taxes with my lovely ex-Jon lol NOT. Anyways, I SURVIVED! I was expecting we would get in a big argument but surprisingly we didnt argue too much. Ive got to work on my smart comments that I cant seem to stop saying when I talk to him. Im going to start trying to be a little nicer, but it is really hard when you dislike someone so much. Im glad to have all that over with because it was really stressing me out! I get too stressed but I just cant help it....Im a worry wart! Well thats all for now. Until next time...

WARNING- HIGH SCHOOL STINKS

This is a warning that NO ONE should sub at the high school. They are rude, obnoxious, inconsiderate children that will drive you insane! I officially subbed for the worst class ever! So if anyone is planning on substituting in the near future, do not answer the phone if the high school calls! I am really thinking about not subbing here anymore except for the days that I have already been scheduled. Ugh, thank goodness I am now in a good class! I would honestly rather sub at the primary center where I have to do a full days worth of work than set over here and be annoyed all day!

The Beginning to A LONG Week!

Well, the weekend finally came to an end! I am sad that it is over but excited that I will be working so much this week because I could definitely use a good paycheck. I was glad to wake up this morning to no snow or ice! I am really hoping for no snow days believe it or not because last week I lost 2 work days :( Today I am subbing at the high school for Coach Bonds. It is going good so far but it is only second period haha. Tomorrow I start my new ESS position thanks to Samantha (Thank you so much). She has taken over a classroom for the rest of the year so they had to replace her ESS position and thankfully they asked me to do it. It pays way more than subbing plus it gives me three guaranteed days a week then I have ABC room on Friday so now I have 4 guaranteed days! I am super excited. This week I have already got my extra day scheduled so I will be putting in a full 5 days this week. I cant wait to get my next paycheck. Im figuring if we dont have too many more snow/ice days that I will be able to pay up my house payment for the summer months incase I dont get a part-time job or I get a job that doesnt pay too much. That will really take some stress off of me! Im nervous about starting my ESS job tomorrow but I am ready!

The weekend went extremely well. Friday night the twins got their first haircut! (I will post pictures when I get home) Kristen brought Avaree and Baylee over and they played. The girls did so good, I was very proud. Z went first and did not cry or anything. E was very curious as to what was going on but I think watching Z get her hair cut first probably eased her mind. She also did great and didnt make a peep. Kristen was very fast and even shaped up their hair while also getting rid of the dreadful mullet! They may look like little boys but at least they dont look like little Joe Dirts now. LOL. Saturday we just hung out at the house all day until around 5 that afternoon. Then I took the twins out to my moms and I went to BG with Jessica to meet up with Kirby for a late dinner. It was so good and we had a lot of fun. Of course we went to O'Charleys...my favorite! Sunday I woke up with a horrible sore throat, I couldnt even swallow. Mom took the twins to church with her and instead of bringing them back home she just went ahead and took them out to Lana's for the afternoon because I felt so bad and was still laying down. They spent the afternoon with Jon because he didnt get them last Tuesday because of the bad weather. I decided to go ahead and get up because the twins were in desperate need of new shoes so my granny and I went to BG. I went in every shoe store in the mall and finally ended back at Finish Line. I got the girls Nike Shox which are very cute. We were going to get them a pair of the Elmo New Balance also because they were on sale for $20 but they only had one size 5...go figure. Unfortunately the Children's Place was not having the same sale as they were last weekend so we didnt buy any clothes at the mall. We also went to Shoe Carnival but they had nothing. Toys R Us is where we did some serious shopping. They had some outfits buy one get one half off so we got a few of those then we got some other outfits that were like $5.99 for each piece which I didnt think was bad. They got several new summer outfits. I am very pleased with their summer wardrobe so far. We also went to Walmart because my grandma wanted to get two potty chairs like I bought last weekend. While at Walmart I loaded up on some play clothes...you just cant beat the $3.50 table at Walmart for everyday play clothes...the girls get those for every season. After a long day of shopping we ran through KFC drive-thru and picked me up some dinner then headed back home. I was so worried that I would wake up with an awful sore throat but luckily I didnt this morning. I took a few tylenol as soon as I got up and I feel great actually...except for the fact that Im so thirsty! Well I guess that is all for now. I may blog again later. Until next time...
