The Pit and the Peak of a Tuesday.

{the pit}
This is how one of my students fell asleep today...

Lately I've been feeling the exact same way.
Tired and worn out.
Even though I just had a vacation.
I blame this on my job.
And I've been pretty much falling asleep anywhere.
I even fell asleep yesterday while I was supposed to be watching my class play outside.
My bad.
Shh don't tell anyone.

Labor Day is on Monday... Do you know what that means? THREE day weekend. Man do I live for three day weekends. They're the best.

Birthday Weekend.

This weekend could not have been any better.

It was filled with...

A day at Disneyland

Funny faces

Fantastic rides

These guys watching me sleep

Pancakes bigger than our faces

The best firework show EVER

A day at the beach

Birthday messages in the sand

Hanging out with these guys

And these guys

Good food

An Arabian friend

Birthday dinner at The Cheesecake Factory

A Seaweed model

And birthday pins

Course I can't leave out the millions of car problems we had, driving down the wrong side of the rode in Beverly Hills, breaking down in the middle of Hollywood, almost dying ten times and the maids stealing from us.

Fantastic weekend? I think yes!

Quote of the Week.

Boob Talk.

Conversation between two of my four year olds while watching Shrek at work on Friday:

Navi: Eeeeew Shrek has boobs. All boys and girls have boobs ya know. Everyone just has boobs.
Jayde: Yeah I have boobs, see. (Jayde flashes Navi)
Miss: McCall: Jayde, please pull up your shirt and don't do that again okay?
Navi: Those are just not real. One day you'll have real boobs like mine.

Funniest. Thing. Ever.
Man these kids kill me.

All My Single Ladies.

Me: Nina what kind of pose is that?
Nina: It's my all my singles ladies pose. Ya know, if you liked it you shoulda put a ring on it.

I live for what this girl is about to say next.
She's freakin hilarious.

Currently...

{watching} Toy Story 3
{listening} to Songbird by the Glee Cast
{hating} that I start school in about a week
{excited} for Disneyland. ONLY seven more days!
{loving} peach shakes from Chick-fil-a. Never tried it? you're missing out
{thankful} for all my dad does for my family
{wishing} I could be graduated from college
{blessed} God sent me an awesome brother
{feeling} relieved I passed my math class
{wanting} it to be fall. even though we've barely had a summer
{learning} to move on and let go of people I care for deeply

Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it.

College Bound.

My little brother left me last night.
He's going down to Dixie for school.
I couldn't be more excited for him though.
I can't wait for him to grow and experience new things.
Next time I see him is Thanksgiving.
I hate to admit it but I'm gonna miss him teasing me.
I'm gonna miss the wet willies he gives me.
I'm gonna miss our fights that we have that last for five minutes then we're talking again.
I'm gonna miss our late night chats. and Mario Kart marathons.
I'm gonna miss the random hugs he'll give me.
Oh man. I think Thanksgiving break is too far away.

Best of luck to ya bud.
You'll do awesome.
Go to church.
Remember who your true friends are.
Be a gent to the ladies.
Don't you dare touch drugs or alcohol cause I will find out about it...and I will beat you.
Kidding.
But really though.
And don't forget about your favorite sister at home.

The Pit and the Peak of a Thursday.

{the pit} My math final is tonight. I'm so bum nervous. I pray to the heavens and back I pass. Wish me luck.

{the peak} I turned around at work today to find Nina looking down her shirt saying, "Let's see what I got going on down here." It was hilarious. I'm still laughing about it. She kills me.
