Sunday Sidenotes

*I am so excited...no more school until August 3rd. Except August 3rd?? That is way too soon and way to early to go back. Oh well. The kids did get out May 22nd.

*I leave in the morning...BEACHbound! With a bunch of girls. Yeah, girls trip. However, no drinkies for me. No beer, no margaritas, no fruity drinks. OH well...guess I can be the DD, huh?!

*I shopped at every darn store in town for a bathing suit. I am starting to show??!! Is this too soon? My fat is officially turned hard underneath my belly button.

 I finally found a tankini and it isn't great, but it will do. I either looked like a stripper (boobs tooooo big and coming out) or a fatty boom-a-latty!

*Do you like my ticker?

*I am actually more pregnant that it says. I will be 10 weeks tomorrow but whatever, it's cute!

*I took pictures  Memorial Day at the lake weekend but we were stuck inside and it was raining so I won't bore you.

*My mom gave me this really cool drawing of me and my hubby at our wedding for my anniversary gift (in February...but the artist just finished it). I will have to take a picture and post, it is neat. I hung it today in the bedroom.

*Have a great week. I hope to get some sun on these Casper legs...but hope the heat doesn't make me too nauseous! I am bringing an umbrella just in case.

Hmmmm.....

So I wonder why my hubby gave me these presents for Mother's Day? Hmmmm......

Ricky Bobby

Talladega Baby!!!

Last weekend hubby took me to my first Nascar Experience. I have never been to a race and have always wanted to go...just to see. He is a big fan and when he was little he and his dad would watch the races. Apparently, they had to race home from church on Sundays!

Well my first race was Talladega in Alabama. Not sure if it is really like the movie...although some drunk from Texas kept calling my hubby Ricky Bobby? Have yall seen that movie..if not it is HILARIOUS! Rent it!

I took lots of pictures so beware...I am including them below! I did have a great time although at one point I got a little too hot (it started at 1:30 and we were the closest to the sun...we had seats on the very top row of the stand...near turn 2, if that means anything to you race fans!)


Okay...this is the typical REDNECK woman at Nascar...overweight woman (well not all of them) with tight jeans or jean shorts and a bikini top?!!! Gives a whole new meaning to "muffin top". I did get sunburned but not because I was wearing a bikini top!

A close up of some cars zooming by...
This was a the beginning of the race...too cool!
Me and Hubby, he ran out of beer (you can take inside so he can to get some BIG Buds!)
My man Dale Junior is the second car...can you see him?
Me and Hubby, our Australian friend (who came all the way for the race) took our picture.
Everyone leaving the race. Craziness!
More of turn 2. Our view from the top.
Pre-gaming it. Glad Hubby borrowed a tent..otherwise I really would have been sunburned!
Look at this redneck truck...Peeing on 24 (Jeff Gordon for any of you who don't know) and Junior Da Man! HA!!!!
Can you see the yell0w bus. Lots bring those to camp in for the week?!!!
Where we parked. Close to our seats!

First Graders

I want to say that I have not been very good about posting funny stories about my kiddos. So for this Terrific Thursday I will list a few.

-I was giving a students a little test (had to read a story and see how many words per minute and then had to answer 5 comprehension questions). This particular student is a very smart girl but her English is not the greatest. I don't believe that she was born in this country. Like for instance she will write a sentence and say "I see dog". Leaves out the articles. Well the story she read was about a teacher who has a big box and pulls out a toy animal, an animal who is gray and swims to the top to get air and the students guess that it is a dolphin...same scenerio and it is a penguin...well the question is..."What else do you think the teacher had in the box?" (The suggested answer says any other ocean animals....know what the child says? BUTTER. I said what? She says Butter? I said I can't really understand can you spell that for me. She says B. U.  T. T. E. R. I said butter? And she nods her head. WHAAATTTT? Maybe the whole language thing is messing her up...but butter? Because butter comes in a box? If anyone understands this story, PLEASSSSEEEEEE let me know!!

-Also my students have decided their new thing is to rub my shoulders. They want to "beat on my shoulders, or do the chainsaw, or massage my shoulders." I mean okay if you really want to....and then a little boy I think on Tuesday says..."Can I rub your feet?" Can I get this little boy to come home with me and teach my hubby a thing or two?

-Then a little girl in my room told me that her mom went out on Saturday night with her friends and on Sunday she did not feel good at all and had diarrhea. I was thinking a little too much drinkies...probably so! I am sure her mom would DIE if she knew her little one was telling me this!

Test!!

This was originally sent from my new Blackberry Pearl, testing it out.

However, I can send SMS texts to my blog but not MMS anyone know why???

Great Minds Think Alike???!!!

So who watches American Idol? I haven't watched it in weeks...however, tonight for like 15 minutes I did. And what is up with Adam and his Born to Be Wild!!!? Blehhhhhhh. I told my husbby that Adam is heinous and reminds me of someone on the Rocky Horror Picture Show. And after the song, do you know what Simon says...says he liked the singing but it reminded him of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. If you don't believe me, ask my hubby! I just don't get his weirdness. Am I wrong?? Is anyone a fan?

Sunday Sidenotes

1-Just letting everyone know that Spring Break is going to be awesome. I get to sleep late everyday! But I do have to go to the female doctor tomorrow afternoon. Pray for good news (maybe that can be a later post, won't get specific right now).

2-I plan on doing some spring cleaning too. I am going to de-clutter this house. And take the junk to the Goodwill. I hate to clean more than anything else so this is definitely going to be a task. What do they say if you haven't worn it in a year, throw it away? I don't even know where to begin...

3-I saw a HOTPINK car today at the gas station. HOT PINK. It had big tires and some fancy rims. And a guy was driving it. Too bad my sister was driving too fast past by and I couldn't take a picture of it.

4-I can't stand Hannah Montana because all of my kids at school wear those tacky t-shirts and I don't think she is a good role model and when they ask if that is her hair I tell 'em it is a blonde wig...however, that new slow song I can hear in the background on the ACM Awards (officially Miley, not Hannah) and I am kind of impressed. Speaking of country music, I get to go to a concert here in town on Tuesday nigh called Rock Fore Dough (it is Masters Week here in the A.U.G) and see Darius Rucker and the Zach Brown Band! WHOOO! I got my ticket tonight.

5-I have an old cedar chest that was my great grandmothers and we couldn't get it open. Even had a locksmith try to get it open (two places at that). Well this Friday I had to get some things from my grandmothers apartment (she passed away a few weeks ago) and I found a box of old keys and I took them. Guess what????? One of them opened my chest. I was sooooooo excited!!!!! And these grandmothers weren't related so there is no way it was the key that actually opened it. But I thought "hey, old key who knows!"

6-Have a Happy Monday tomorrow!
