Halloween

Yesterday for snack, the kids ate bagels. They've had bagels before so some of them said they didn't want one because they didn't like them. One of the boys asked for one then said he didn't like it. I told him he had to eat it and not waste food. A few minutes later he was at the carpet. I figured he had snuck it in the trashcan. A while later I looked under his table, there was bagel all over the floor. I ask him if it was his and he said no. I asked the girl across from him if it was hers and she said she had eaten hers. Oh man! I was not very happy with the boy. What a toot! Lying to me. Not cool. 

Today was very crazy, but I got to wear my costume! The kinder teachers each dressed up as one of the seasons. I was summer :-)

For Halloween we rotate all the Kinder classes through our rooms and do crafts with them. In my room, the kids were making pumpkin windsocks. The kids didn't know what it was when I first showed them. One of them said "It's a squid!!" Haha close! 

At the end of the day, Kinder hallway looked like we had a party! There was paper everywhere. My room was the biggest mess because my kids ate popcorn on the carpet and smashed it in. Awesome. I felt bad for the custodians. I didn't want to be there when they saw my room. 

Other than the craft mess, today was actually really nice for me. I have an aide that works with one of my kids. She drives me crazy because she never actually does her job (she pays her bills and talks on the phone...) and I'm not one to confront people. Today I didn't have to deal with that because she was going room to room with the kid she helps. She probably isn't going to like me after tomorrow because I gave her a schedule of what I expect her to do when the sub is there. Hopefully that works out. We shall see!! I'm excited for our Kinder planning day tomorrow!!

On a random note, when we go to work, we lock Muñeca in the bathroom. Apparently she is a vicious attack dog when we aren't around. She attacked the guy fixing our toilet. But anyways, lately she's been pooping in the bathtub. I'm not sure if I should be mad or impressed! Plus it's easy clean up. 

Today in the mail I got a sample of locks. Now I can baby proof my house! Haha

My sister was definitely jealous! Maybe she can borrow them. Haha

I also got a sample of tea and shampoo! 

So ready for my extra hour of sleep this weekend!!! Yay :-)

New things

I guess I am overdue for my weekly update. I spent the weekend seeing my new baby niece :-) She is super cute!! We got home Sunday afternoon, in time for work on Monday. Boo! I spent the car ride working on Manny's stocking. I didn't get much work done, I think his stocking will be done for next Christmas.

One of my students, last week, brought in a pile of leaves and put them on my table. I asked him what they were for and he said "They're for you." Just what I always wanted... A pile of leaves!!

Apparently it was in the homework to bring your teacher leaves or pine cones.

I woke up this morning to find the stuffing from Muñeca's bed all over the bedroom floor (and my shoe). What a toot! We need to get her a new bed that she isn't going to be able to tear up.

When I went to Walmart, I saw the craziest thing in the bathroom...

I guess you can strap your kid in, so they don't run away. I always hear parents in the bathroom yelling at their kids to wait for them to finish. Now they can just strap them to the wall!

My week at school was really busy and I am definitely ready for Thanksgiving break. I am on stress overload right now. I need a break or just some sleep would be nice.

And of course, my samples for this week :-) Manny laughs at me for taking pictures of my samples. haha

Apparently I won this sample. I will now be wrinkle free!!

I got this fancy lotion!

If you don't know what this is, just read the directions. Oh wait, you can't. They're in Chinese or something.

Lastly, I got this lotion and some freebies from Sephora for my birthday (mascara and highlighter. I don't even know hoe to use highlighter. I can use a highlighter for a book!)

Alright, well hopefully this week is smoother than last. I am excited to wear my costume for Halloween! Yay!

Another week

I think this week was longer than last week! We had open house on Tuesday which meant a late night. Today was early release, but it didn't make the week feel shorter. We stayed after the kids left for a meeting, then we had a chance to work on our Halloween costumes. When I got home, I found Muñeca in the bathroom surrounded by toilet paper. She seemed very proud of herself for tearing up a whole roll of toilet paper. 

I guess it's time to switch to the cheap toilet paper!! 

At least toilet paper is cleaner than the diarrhea she had yesterday. Poor baby!! It smelled gnarly. I told Manny that I should've left it so he could smell it. He said he'd been to Afghanistan where you don't know what's poop and what's dirt. He also said that men fertilize their own fields. Haha ok done with the gross part... I had to wash Muñeca's froggy blanket. She came outside with me when I moved it into the dryer. She was looking into the dryer at her blanket like "Hey Froggy, what are you doing in here?" Haha it was cute! She was excited when it was done drying. She kept sniffing it and sniffing it. I guess because it didn't smell like pee or poop anymore. She'll probably christen it soon enough. Haha

While this week has been long and stressful, it's been a good week for samples. 

This cute little cookbook :-)

Muñeca peed on our bedspread so I put it into a laundry basket so I can wash it. She tried to convince Manny that she was going to sleep in the laundry basket and not in her box. One morning, I caught her sleeping in it. Manny gets up at 5, let's Muñeca out, and then let's her roam the house. So she does what she wants which usually means she gets into trouble. 

Nothing too crazy happened this week at work. Some teachers from another school came to visit our school. I got to see an old friend from Girl Scouts :-) that was fun! Mostly, my week was just tiring. As usual. Haha How many more weeks until Thanksgiving?? I am ready for a break. At least I'll get some rest this weekend. 

Now to get over this cold and just watch some tv... Have a wonderful weekend!

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. 

My week

Man it's been a busy week!! We started out week with Muñeca bringing us dinner. She delivers. Haha

Muñeca is always busy doing something! One morning I woke up to her sleeping in her bed, but her bed was no longer in her box. When Manny and I were watching a movie, I guess she was attempting the same thing, but her box got stuck in the bathroom doorway. So she decided just to go to sleep. 

This week I received two sample boxes. 

 More K-cups!!! Manny will drink them... The other day he brewed his coffee but forgot to put a cup under it. Coffee was all over the counter! 

My other sample box...

Neither of us have ever gotten heartburn, but we are ready now. Tum tum tum tums!! Manny said he just likes to eat them. I told him that is not good -_-

On Thursday, my wonderful Kindergarten teammates decorated my door. Thursday was early release and the kid's had off Friday which is why they decorated on Thursday.

  

This was my week in short form. I will post about my birthday tomorrow :-) Time for bed!

Celebrate!

Yesterday Manny passed his NREMT!! Yay! To celebrate we went and got ice cream from Marble Slab. After I saw the receipt, he asked if I had a heart attack. Haha 

Yesterday Manny also got all of his fire equipment. He tried it all on after we got home from church. 

He decided that once he had it all on, he would try to pick up Muñeca. She was so scared. Poor baby! She was squealing at him. 

Shortly after this picture was taken, she was laying on her back barking and squealing. I went to pick up Muñeca to rescue her. Her back was all wet!!! She had peed she was so scared and then rolled in her pee. I was not very happy that I had to give the dog a bath at 9:15pm. I'm usually in bed by 9. I had to bathe the dog and I still had to pack lunches. After I bathed the dog, Manny sent me to bed and he packed our lunches. 

I also got a sample yesterday!! 

It's some type of caffeine pill. I told Manny he will probably need it when he starts working 24 hour shifts. He said I need it for work. If I don't get my sleep, I'm grumpy. Haha

Today's free sample was super exciting!!!

We bought a Keurig coffee maker about a month ago. These little things cost about 80-90 cents each. I told Manny he would like the sample I got today. He was pretty excited :-) I'm not a big iced tea drinker, so he knows he will get to drink them all. 

Oh man! I'm so ready for the weekend. This has been a long week with the kids. I need some sleep. This weekend we are going to a baby shower for my sister. Yay!! Should be fun! I'll attempt to get some rest. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful afternoon!! It's almost the weekend :-)

8 days...

8 days without Internet... Manny went to the AT&T store today. The other day I jokingly said that he should ask for a discount because we haven't had Internet for over a week. So today when he went, he asked for a discount. They gave us 25% off. Sweet!!! I still dislike AT&T, but at least they tried to make things somewhat right. Now we just need them to come and fix our Internet. 

On Sunday Manny wanted to take a 30 minute nap. He said he woke me up after 30 minutes, but I didn't wake up. I ended up sleeping an hour and a half. Oops! Two days off of work is not enough time to recover from five days of work. Every weekend needs to be a three day weekend. 

I got a new student yesterday. I'm waiting for him to start talking. I guess that's good that he is quiet, but I sometimes need him to talk. Haha

I got a free sample in the mail. Yay! It is two pastels:

 

Yesterday I had a freebie website open on my phone. I left my phone on the bed. Manny saw the site and he laughed at me for always getting free stuff. I reminded him of the coffee samples I got for him. He seems to forget that he uses my samples too. Haha 

Tomorrow at work some teachers from another school are coming to observe. We shall see how that goes... Also, there will be a principal meeting at our school, so the principals will probably be wandering into our rooms. Fun fun!

I hope everyone has a wonderful evening!

Three days

This has been a long, busy week!!! So much has happened and I am ready for Christmas break. I am definitely glad I have Monday off.

After I posted on Tuesday night, poor Manny woke up completely disillusioned. He had no idea what day it was and he thought he was late for work (on Wednesday). Haha! I was laughing so hard.

Wednesday night, Manny and I watched this movie on Netflix called "The Forgotten." It was a really good thriller. The main character has a son who died. Everyone was trying to convince her that she never had a son. Thursday night we watched a movie called "Insomnia." It was about a detective who killed his partner. The whole movie he was investigating a case and the case of him killing his partner was being investigated since he had lied about killing his partner. This was another good thriller movie. Both times I fell asleep right before the end of the movie, so Thursday night Manny sent me to bed at 8:30. He stayed up and played video games.

On Thursday we went to dinner at Madres Mexican Restaurant. Afterwards Manny and I got Ice cream. He made a little baby ice cream cone...

I offered to give him mine, but he didn't want it.

Yesterday one of my kids brought me a box of tissues which is perfect because I am starting to not feel so well. One of the stinky things about working with kids. I also got a sample of a boogie wipe in the mail. It also came with a puff's tissue sample.

Another sample I got was some all natural disinfectant wipes...

Last night we went shopkicking. We stopped at Kirkland's and saw this gorgeous painting:

I want to try painting something like that :-)

We also bought this amazing Gelatto from Kroger. It came in these cute little tubs and Manny said "We can reuse them!" Haha He is starting to think like a teacher.

I was vacuuming and mopping today. Muñeca thought it was a game. She ran away from the vacuum to hide and then ran back out. She enjoyed chasing the mop back and forth. After cleaning, I got some water. I dropped an ice cube in the ground. Muñeca carried it around the house.

I couldn't get a picture of her holding it in her mouth, but oh well. She cracks me up!!! Manny thought she would be a boring dog because she doesn't have another dog to play with. I think she's good.

I hope everyone has a blessed three day weekend :-)
