hakuna matata

can't say what i want to say, since i don't know for sure who reads this...just know i am really angry about something at work...and a bit bumfuzzled, too.  prayers between now and thursday (or everyday the rest of the year) would be much appreciated!  in other news...Scout turned 10 months old today!  he has now been on the outside longer than he was on the inside!  he is one of the cutest and funniest people i know.  not just  babies...PEOPLE.  he's about the only thing that keeps me running for the hills.  he definitely has enough clothes for the fall and winter...bout to get him some more converses.  got most of his gifts bought, and ordered his new Christmas ornament last night.  just gotta get his birthday party planned and done.  his daddy wants a big extravaganza with all our friends and family.  i want a very small affair with no friends, and if i'm being honest...i could do without a lot of the family!  right now, i gotta go make sure i have pants to wear to work tomorrow and get a shower.  i got a haircut this afternoon and all that loose hair is driving me crazy!

oh yeah, lion king on blu-ray was waiting by my front door when we got home! 

slide

stayed home from work today.  yesterday i sat in an all-day planning session with someone that had a stomach virus.  she's probably not real happy with me, i wore a medical mask all day!  oh well, if you're not going to stay home from work and keep your germs away from me, i'm going to try my best to keep them from getting to me!  by the time we left, i had an awful headache, so i took a sick day today.  Scout was not feeling too good either.  he's really close to getting a new tooth, you can almost see it under his gums.  plus, his daddy, gram, and poppa have all had a cold in the past week.  we were going to just stay home and rest, but we went to gram's so we could go for a walk.  if you tried to walk by our house, you'd end up as roadkill!  it wasn't blazing hot, and there was no one at the park, so we let Scout play on the little slide.  he loved it!  i did manage to rest, even though there was no nap involved.  Scout plays by himself much better at gram and poppa's.  he's all over the floor, mostly rolling a ball around, or unstacking his stacking toy.  he does NOT like things to be stacked up!  at home, he spends more time trying to get into things he's not supposed to play with than he does with his toys.  i started working on the yarn wreath i'm making.  i actually remembered to take a "before" picture!  i'll post it with the "after" pictures when it's finished.  not much else going on, the plan was to go to canton tomorrow.  that will depend on how we all feel and if the weather cools down enough.  if not...i think it will be target and hobby lobby!  i'm actually almost finished shopping for Scout's birthday and Christmas gifts, thanks to amazon!  but, i gotta get inspired for the ladies holiday tea in november.    

for all the people wanting to see him on here because i'm off facebook!

 

gone

i deactivated my facebook account.  out of ALL the people on my facebook that i had no other way to contact...i wrote down 3 email addresses before i deactivated it...yep.

scream

no real time to post today either, but i'm trying to stay in the habit.  k-dogg was home sick today and yesterday...fun stuff.  nothing serious, just a cold...which means he thought he was dying yesterday, but felt well enough to empty the dishwasher for me today while he was home!  but, by the time scout and i got home, it was around 5:30, which is when most people always start feeling worse when they're sick.  school was crazy today, all the math teachers were at a workshop.  that means subs in every team!  we're repaying the favor by taking a planning day tomorrow and letting them have all the kids on day two of half the teachers being out!  the lady that subbed for my math teacher is way too old and too nuts to be working with 4th graders.  i really feel bad about what happened with one of my students, but it was out of my control before i was aware of it.  not much i could do, but i did talk to the mom.  grades are due friday.  if it's not blazing hot we may try to go to canton on saturday.  gotta go watch survivor with my boys and then find something that will pass for dinner...or at least food!

sunday

too late to blog now, i've been posting on pinterest and deleting albums on facebook.  i may delete my whole facebook.  or, i may just take a hiatus.  i'm just tired of it.  there are a lot of people i like keeping up with, but i'm tired of facebook being all up in my business!  this afternoon, k-dogg, scout, and i went shopping together.  that is the first time we have done that without my parents with us.  we dropped k-dogg off at supercuts and went to old navy.  scout got more clothes!  like he needs them.  then we went to target to stock up on baby food for the month.  i try to get enough for a month all at one time so i don't have to worry about running out.  i got a hilarious picture of scout while his daddy was looking at fryers.  he was obviously so not into looking at fryers!  it's on my phone, so i'll post it later.  everything was fine until i had to change scout's diaper in the front seat of the car.  he likes to flip over now, and he was really trying to get the coke can out of the cup holder above him.  not fun when it's a smelly diaper, it's 99 degrees outside, and two guys are in their truck two spaces over watching the whole thing!  but, we survived.  i'm off now.  gotta go get some sleep before i face my students. 

arts and crafts

went to the arts and crafts show yesterday.  actually bought something this year!  the show was MUCH smaller, but at least most of the stuff seemed to actually be handmade to some extent.  the "food court" was pitiful this year, but i heard that was because no one was allowed to grill outside because of the burn ban.  that makes sense!  i got two bracelets for $2 each and a wooden sign that looks like a Texas flag and says "God bless Texas and its Rangers."  a lady from work made the sign.  i also have one that's just like it only it's white and burnt orange and says Longhorns!  we are skipping church this morning.  we went out to dinner with family members friday and saturday night...Scout needs to stay home and rest!  i'm also skipping a baby shower this afternoon.  we had a crazy week between the family dinners, pizza night at my school, and my mom and dad's house getting painted.  i didn't get the baby's gift finished and i'm staying home to watch football, grade papers, and catch up on laundry.  plus, if i have time...work on the baby gift and a wreath i want to make. won't be surprised if it's the grading papers i don't get around to doing!   i'm going to try one of those yarn wreaths i keep seeing all over the internet...especially on pinterest.  i bought the yarn, the styrofoam wreath, and some feathers to go on it.  if i remember, i'll post pictures.  i used to be much better about that!  i also found out, if i make more, i'll buy the wreaths at walmart.  $7.99 at hobby lobby...$4.99 at walmart!  i've already started buying Scout's birthday and Christmas gifts.  in the four weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas we also have Scout's birthday, K-dogg's birthday, and our anniversary!  it's going to require some planning and shopping ahead of time.  but right now...i'm off to another site to look for shoes for Scout.  bare feet are fine with shorts and onesies...look a little sad with jeans and pants!

correction

K was not skunk poo...she was piggies!  went back through some old posts and found it.  her sisters are 911 and doolittle.  M never had a name...i'm thinking mrs. scout!  jk...i'll have to think!  maybe violet since that's scout's friend's name.

these are the scout and violet i'm talking about
