You know those days where your filter isn't working. Today is one of those. It is blah. My kids at school were loud and I have a headache. A couple things that have peeked in my thoughts today scrolling through FB and Instagram, driving to work, and just walking around....
1. Pants are not to balloon out of your boots. If there are more wrinkles above the boot than on a bulldogs face, we have a problem.
1a. See pinterest for correct ways to wear ankle boots. 12 layers to get to them makes you all choppy.
2. For the Love...I've said it once and I will say it again....Tights are not pants. If they don't have pockets, they are meant to be covered. It is not ok. It is not ok on an adult, it is not ok on a child. Butt cheeks should remain covered in situations of no pockets and in situations of those pockets being stretched to their max.
3. Don't beg then brag. Nothing is more annoying.
4. Talking to 3rd graders about drugs is not in my realm of expertise. Me: "Don't do drugs. They make your face look bad, your skin is all nasty, your hair looks gross, your teeth rot, it uses all your money and it is against the law. Just don't do them. Now, we are all going to design a tshirt...." I proceed with instructions. One child, "So, is it a drug if it is free, like if you grow it yourself?" "Is a cigarette a drug because my dad gets them at the gas station with his other stuff." "Some people cook their own drugs in their kitchen and blow up." Me:"Everybody just write 1. "Drug Free Way to Be 2.Don't Do Drugs 3. pick your own slogan, decorate and you can't ask me anymore questions or tell me more stories." I'll post some of the pictures later.
5. Nobody cares how much money you have on hand. If it is all in your hand, chances are there is none in the bank. Stop making pictures before you get robbed.
6. Bicycles should never be driven in the middle of a lane on a two way road. Get out of the way. If I have to cross lanes to avoid hitting you, you need to move it.
7. You cannot get ON tomorrow. Tomorrow is just tomorrow. It just happens. You can't get ON tomorrow.
8. This man driving this train has managed to wake up Titus Skinner at 12:00 for the past two nights. I might go sit and honk at him tonight as he passes. A few toots will do.
9. The pumpkin cookies that you can decorate from Walmart.....the icing doesn't spread like the lovely photographs. It ends up goopy, splotchy, and FAIL!
10. In order to appease all people in my life under 4 ft tall I have read the Monster Underpants book a million times today. Several at school because they would laugh and not talk and once at home already.
This week is Red Ribbon dress up at my school, also at the boys school. Each day is different at both places, there is a full moon this week, Halloween is this week and apparently people carnival and fall festival every night for a week now, and it is the Magic City Classic so I am sure we will have nine billion kids in our classes on Friday due to lack of subs. I am ready for Friday!
I am going to make dinner. I might go to bed at 8. I am exhausted and it is only Monday!
Life as a follower of Christ, wife, teacher, mom to twin boys and a baby boy. It is chaotic and we try to keep it organized!
