Exhaustion

I don't even know where to begin. This week has been very eventful and I know next week will be even crazier. I'm not sure I'm ready for what's about to come my way. I'm going to try not to let the stress overcome me. I just have to breathe!!! 

Work this week has been super busy and this coming week is going to be even busier... Is it thanksgiving yet??

Yesterday we practiced our lock down drill. One of my kids told me today that when she went home she asked her mom if they could practice hiding just in case a burglar comes. My student and her mom hid in their bathroom. My student told her mom "You might hear the door knob jiggle but it's ok. It's just the police making sure the door is locked." When she told me this I laughed inside because that's what I told them, but I also thought it was cool how supportive this mom was. She made the lock down important, but also not something to be afraid of. 

I never posted about my birthday... On Saturday morning, Manny made me chorizo and eggs. After he cooked, he had me open my presents. There were about a dozen gifts on the table. The first one I opened was an actual gift for me. The next one was something we already had around the house. So this is what I heard "Yay you got a butterfly knife." "Yay you got some toilet paper! I'll wipe my butt on that." "Yay you got some mouthwash." Hahaha what a cheater head! I think only four gifts were actually new things. Haha we went out to dinner with my sister, brother-in-law, nephew, and mother-in-law. Plus! My other sister had my niece on my birthday. So boo that my parents weren't able to be here with me, but yay for her! I had a wonderful birthday :-) 

I just ate that whole cake!! 

One of my kids apparently kept talking to his mom about my birthday. His mom emailed me on Monday to ask when my birthday was. When he came back to school on Tuesday, he brought me a cake. He wanted to bake me one, but his mom said their kitchen was just remodeled and they couldn't find cake pans. Oh well... It was still a cute cake with bonus spongebob stickers on top!!

When Manny got home from work, I showed him the cake. I guess he was super jealous because he dropped my cake!!!

Just kidding! The kid just wasn't on all the way, so when he went to get it out of the fridge, it fell. I had to hold the dog back while he cleaned up chocolate frosting. I'm not going to have another chocolate fiasco. 

And most importantly, I will now post pictures of the awesome samples I got this week :-)

Muñeca liked this dog food!!!

Manny took this almost as soon as I got it. He had bad everything so he's always in pain :-/

And another sample for Manny. I like my sugar with a hint of coffee!

I hope everyone had a blessed week. I'm trying to work blogging into my schedule so I can post funny things my kids say. I'll work on it. One step at a time! Have a relaxing weekend. I have to go finish baking bread. 

Warning!!

Today all teachers had to go to a Professional Development (fancy word for training) at various schools throughout the district. I went to one about using a prompting guide when I am with my reading groups. Well the presenter did not talk about the book. Ugh. So I still have no idea how this book is supposed to be used. Lame! Oh well...

I got home at 4:30 and let the dog out. We lock her in the bathroom while we are at work. She had peed in two spots and pooped on her pee pad. When I was trying to flush her poop, she decided to walk through it. I had to give the dog a bath, then I was able to clean up the bathroom. Fun fun! Today we bought 101 training pads for her. It has 101 because of the 101 Dalmatians. I wonder how many pee pads they needed!?!

Not long after I finished cleaning up, Manny called saying he was headed home from work. Usually he doesn't call until 5 and he gets home by 6. So poop! I was going to make bread for dinner, but his coming home early didn't leave me enough time. When he got home, I told him the bread would be late. He said it would be dessert. Haha I made french bread!! I was testing out my yeast because I thought maybe it was dead, but nope, it is good. Yay!!!

When I was packing Manny's lunch, I put some chips in a bag. I had tried a whole chip the other day and my mouth was on fire. This time one little tiny crumb fell on the counter so I ate it. I thought a crumb wouldn't be very spicy. I was wrong. Believe the bag!!!

Like the bag says... It was "freakin' hot" and that caution tape is for real! 

I got up at 5 again today to go run. Woohoo! Only 180 more days of that. I think I can... I know my oldest sister has already placed her bets on when I will stop getting up at 5 to run. We shall see :-P Go ahead and make your bets. You won't hurt my feelings.

I hope everyone has a blessed hump day :-)
