Conference week :(

Every year I have Parent/Teacher conferences. I get to do them twice a year. Yipee. The first conferences aren't too bad. You get to sit down with the parent and talk about their child and set goals for the year. Pretty easy. The end of year conferences are always so draining and stressful to me. I have to schedule conference time and sometimes I have to corner parents just to do it. I have portfolios to finish. It's basically a scrapbook for the parents. They love it but, it can be a lot of work. I have eight to do. I get to go to work early, conference on my lunch and conference after work. I have on more day. I think I can make it. I hope. I'm already beat.

Doggy life jacket


I took Giz for a trip to PetsMart to buy dog food. We were shopping for a new collar where I saw the doggy life jackets. Yes, they make doggy life jackets! In honor of the up coming pool season Giz decided to model it for me.


Here he is demonstrating his awesome swimming abilities! I'm so proud. Swim puppy swim! Next time he will model the sports wear in honor of football season.

Practice makes perfect

I came across this picture when I went home this weekend. My first reaction was to laugh, then I said out loud to everyone...." I still make that face! ". Here are a few options to what could be going through my mind.

" What the hell is he doing? "
" I want that toy and I hate you cause you have it! "
" You're a retard. "

What do you think? Thank you Mom for capturing this precious moment.

Dreams

Sunday night I had a very strange dream. I hardly ever remember my dreams but, this one is still very vivid in my mind. In my dream Z and I were at a concert listening to a Latin band. We were laying in the street with pillows under our heads on the curb. I sit up and see a scorpion. I tell Z that its there. He sits up. I tell him to leave it alone and it won't hurt us. This is where it gets odd. Then the scorpion crawls on the pillow and disappears inside the pillow. It was like it was walking through a wall. I start freaking out and stand up. I look down at my knee and see it crawling under my transparent skin. I'm still freaking out. So I get a safety pin and cut open my knee a try to get it out. I finally get it out and fling it in my hair. Still freaking out, I shake it out of my hair. I sure was glad that dream was over.

Dirty laundry

So, I have a little dirty laundry to air out.....I was informed last night that I was removed from someone's blog link because they were over people not updating their blog. This is what I have to say to that. Why does the blogging community have to be so cut throat? Why do we have to call people out for not blogging or label them under a category? For example, " hardly blog at all ". I've had blogger block for months now and quite honestly was a little bored with it. How long are we going to blog any way? When we are sixty, seventy, eighty? When do we call it quits? When we are blogging about our bladders and Depends underwear? Have a little compassion people. Bloggers have feelings too. Ok I'm done.....I'm over it.

Wal-Mart why can't I quite you?

So a few of you may know that I hate Wal-Mart. I dread going but I end up going to Wal-Mart at least once a week. Every time I go I remember why.

Reasons I hate Wal-Mart...

1. You have to park a million miles away from the door
2. It's always crowded. You have to fight your way down almost every isle
3. The isles are too small
4. They never have what I want in stock or I have to search really hard for it.
5. They are so mega huge that they drive out local grocery stores
6. The lines to check out are always long

Reasons why Wal-Mart pulls me back in....

1. Shopping there saves me money
2. It's the closest grocery store to me
3. New cool t-shirts. Yes, I said cool T-shirts at Wal-Mart! I'm not too proud to admit I have bought 3 T-shirts from Wal-Mart and 3 jackets.

The negatives so out weight the positives here. So, Wal-Mart why can't I quite you!?!

The Family Stone

Tonight I was really looking forward to watching The Family Stone. I was totally in the mood for a few good laughs. I must have misunderstood the whole concept of this movie. It was the most awkward movie I have ever seen. It made me cry, I'm still crying now. On top of it all now I feel depressed. CAUTION: this movie may cause uncontrollable crying and depression!
