Living Life as Jayden's Mommy….

Not much happened…. did 11 minutes on Wii Fit. I will have you know my age is 24 so I am balanced AND I gained weight although I am still underweight. Next, I totally enjoyed staying home and doing nothing. I spent Saturday eating and staying warm. Sunday we went to church with Daddy and then we visited my Dad’s uncle in the hospital. Of course by that time I was starving so I got to eat at Sunny’s- no ribs there but I did get the BBQ chicken and mac & cheese. Now I am watching my shows and headed to bed at 10 p.m.

I am keeping up with friends via the phone more on the weekends. So many call to check on me and my tummy adventures! lol… But that is cool. It makes me feel special.

Well Smidgen so graciously reminded OUR readers that I have a birthday this week. I will be remaining 25 on Thursday yet one more year. Since my sis has not caught me yet I think I am okay. I have a dr. appt that day with a pap and an ultrasound. I was nervous until I talked to Mrs. K who teaches at the other high school in my county. She assured me there was nothing to it I just needed to relax. Smidgen said the same thing… she is soooo brave and I am a wuss. But I am going to be an adult about it and keep praying for calmness and the ability to get through it. I believe I will have peace. All readers please pray that I will be okay too!

That is all. I do have a free rental this week from my local movie store so Wednesday, I am planning pizza and a movie with hubby- so exciting! lol… I am thinking Red Lobster with hubby and Mom on my b-day. Yes, my Mom is going to the doc with me again. And yes as long as I am here in town she will be planning to go to all at my request of course. I enjoy having my Mom there … hubby too… lol… I am spoiled, what can I say? I can say that I do hope to be able to be there for my own kids like my Mom has been there for me though. So that is my goal.

Okay well that is all, there isn’t anymore. One of my favorite quotes from Dr. Seuss.

You know you always hear this but I really think it is the truth.

The guidance counselor shared with me that women just like to talk and get things off of their chest. We do not want suggestions on how to fix the problems/ issues because many of us are natural problem solvers (yes, I am tooting my own horn here because I am a problem solver and have been since high school!). Men on the other hand have problems and by the time they actually do share it many times it has escalated to the point that they no longer know what to do and just need suggestions or to hand it over.

I had a friend tell me the reason that good girls dated “bad” boys was because women have a “save a man/ save the world” mentality. I did not believe him for the longest but now I do. I have that mentality. Maybe it comes from being a teacher. I feel that everyone comes across my path for one reason or the other and on my part I would love to impart knowledge that will help them out sometime in their lives!

I of course have shared my newly found information with everyone. Although so many people are not as impressed.

I showed my students the “shift happens” slide show and many of them appreciated it and thought it was quite interesting and thought provoking.

I also made my students write position statements on the election. They had to choose one of the major presidential candidates. Most of them chose McCain. That did not surprise me although I think they read the views wrong because many of them are for govt supporting everything and that lines up more with Dem. than Rep. I think. But honestly as the days go by and we see more and more corruption of the system- I totally understand why people want to hold each other accountable. Ugh!

Ok anyways… I have encouraged some close friends to read my blog. Although my only faithful subscriber that I know of is smidgensquared although my bestie out of the country did comment once. I am sooo bad at tangents- can you imagine class discussions with a hyper group- tangent city- lol. Funny… ok my DC friend said that she has been reading at work. She paused and I just knew what she was going to write next- you bet- we simultaneously wrote it was funny. But when we used to hang out we were always making each other laugh… stupidity and all… it was just hilarious the stuff we did and said! Sometimes I miss those days and soooooo many other days I am glad those days of stupidity and caring about the insignificant things of life… are OVER!

OK this blog is longer than expected there was so much more to say… I did show School House Rock to my 11th and 12th graders- most of it was a review of what we have done and some new concepts were also taught so that is good.  I ate 5 slices of pizza for supper. I still can’t believe it but I am sooo proud because people make fun of me bring underweight and my hubby is convinced that if I gain 15 pounds I will be fine. It makes you wonder if he questions my “fineness” now…. ha ha- nope he really does not (yes, I have my vain moments too!)

Nevertheless, I am keeping up with the Wii and I get my Mom on there at least a couple of times a week. She gets hooked on the games and now that I have figured out how to get the high scores it is more fun because it is a newer challenge. That yoga stuff wears me out… especially the pose I had last night that you reach towards the floor and then you have to reach up with your other hand- I was literally about to cry it hurt so bad… but I am not flexible. Supposedly my balance is getting better though. Ok if you have a Wii and no wii fit- I am telling you hands down soooo worth every penny I paid and then some. No more gym fees or working out behind sweaty people or anything. I can do it all at the house! What would I do without convenience? Ok as I misspell words and get sleepy again… I am going to go now…

If anyone is reading this please comment! I ramble and you are welcome to hide your identity to everyone but myspace is no longer my thrill- blogging is. Yes, I go through phases… I am sure this too will pass after all.
