This week is too much

I know that all of us have been there before...the week starts off kind of bad and escalates into horrible and keeps going downhill from there. That is how my week has been going this week. It all started Monday when I wasn't feeling all that well with my tummy. There have been SO many illnesses going on throughout this week at the center that I just knew one of them would catch up to me sooner or later. So...the tummy problem wasn't fun but it wasn't bad at all. No problem. Tuesday starts off perfect and everything is going well until we are getting ready for bed and a huge argument starts and doesn't finish until Wednesday evening. Ugh..I haven't ever had one of those so that was pretty awful. Then today I wake up to a frigid house because our heat has stopped working and a horrible head cold with a bad sore throat. I HATE to call into work because it doesn't just effect me...it effects EVERYONE. I feel terrible but I have to do it and have been sleeping all day long. Well, so....that's my week this week. It has to get better. Seriously...it has to.

Emotions running high

For some reason today I woke up quite emotional. No...I'm not pregnant, although I wish I were because it may make more sense. I have just been annoyed, upset, crying over something retarded, or starting an argument. I admit it ladies....I did start one today but...for some reason I couldn't stop. I'm NEVER like this. Emotional yes but starting arguments no. Oh well...it's a beautiful day and I promise to make the best of it. It's going to be a great day from here on out. I'm going to Emma's B-day party at Kazoing's and then going out to eat with some parents of mine that I will be babysitting for the week of March 29-April 3rd! Should be tons of fun to see how well I can handle a 5 year old for a week!! I'm sure I will be updating to let you know how that goes!! lol! Until then....

Green Licorice

I woke up this morning to the annoying sound of an alarm clock ringing in my ear and a pounding headache right between the eyes! Great way to start off the morning and trust me...when you are a teacher...those headaches don't go away to easily! So...I took...don't gasp...about 5 Tylenol to get my head to clear up so that I could give my 20 kids my full attention! I get to work and am listening to my coworker go on about her day off yesterday and blah, blah, blah and then, then....one of my favorite kiddos comes bounding in with their show-n-tell for the day...none other than...green licorice!! It was the best and enough to make my day complete! It was the best "L" word not to mention they brought enough for everyone to share :) I love the innocence of children and the things that make them SOOO happy! It makes me think...that headache may not have been so bad and I am so glad that I wake up to go to a job where I make a difference and bring a smile to these kids faces! I know this blog rarely makes sense...I warned you...not a good writer...BUT it has given me a chance to talk about how I feel about things or just get out thoughts that come to me during the day! Thanks for reading!!!

To the sunshine state I go....

I found out today that my vacation time was approved for December this year. That means that in 9 months I will be heading out with my in-laws and hubby in tow to the sunshine state! Yay! This will be my first Christmas away from home and I'm not sure how well I will take it but...both Travis and I figured we had better do it this year because if we don't we won't go. We are planning to have children soon and once we have kiddos we won't be traveling at Christmas time. We will have a traditional Christmas at home with all new traditions and some old ones. So..I am REALLY excited. We will be going to Fort Myers, Fl. Travis' Uncle and Aunt own a house there and we will be staying with them!! We are planning to go to the beach, Sanibel Island, and just sort of...relax! The best part is...I have lost 15 pounds and am super pumped to lose more and look good when I hit that beach!!! Now...I certainly don't believe that I will be in a two piece or anything BUT I am definitely planning on being a couple of sizes smaller and ready to be active!! Bring it on!!!

What the HELL....

I feel that I may need to write out some frustrations! I am SO upset with the way that my team...UK...has been playing basketball. I mean...seriously! What the hell are they thinking. UK has never been a "no name" team but they are quickly getting themselves on that list. Their poor execution as been so upsetting this year and I am hoping that they get better SOON. Unlike some I do not blame Billy G. for all the problems that UK is having. He certainly makes some poor choices at times but...who the heck doesn't? I know that in MY life I have made about a million! lol! So...I just needed to vent a little bit and well...isn't that what this thing is for??

"and here...we...go"

So today is Wednesday and that means that I was off. It's nice having that day off from work to get things done around the house, run errands, make appointments, rest, but best of all...visit my momma! That's what I did today. I have been having a big problem with some things at work lately and I needed my mothers comfort and advice...no one gives advice like a mom. So...I got in my car a!!!nd traveled to Elizabethtown to seek the answers I needed. When I got there...like always, my mom was there with her arms wide open ready to give me a hug! So...the tears flowed, the "listening ears" were on, and I got the answers I needed! Yay for moms!

Then she took me to her store and we made a beautiful wreath for my door for Spring! It made me feel much better. After we were done there, we decided that the best thing to do to brighten my day was to get my niece (Taylor) and nephew (Jacob) and take them to McDonald's and eat lunch and just play with them. It was such a nice day and things couldn't have gotten better...but they could get worse...ugh.

I got a phone call from my husband and he told me that something else is wrong with his car. This car that has cost us quite a bit of money in the past couple of months...over $6500 to be exact!!! Oh well...anyways...to make a long story short his parents are on their way here to check out the car and see what needs to be done and I am cooking supper to thank them!! Oh goodness...the saying "when it rains, it pours" has never been more true! I'm just glad to get my feelings out in this blog.

A New Thing for Me

So, I feel like I should start this blog by saying that this is definitely a new thing for me. Normally I tend to stay within my comfort zone and do not go outside of those limits but....I must say that here lately I have been keeping some things bottled inside of me and this may be a great way to let them out! My name is Angela and I am your typical young adult trying to make my way in life. I am a teacher to some pretty amazing children, who I love very much, a sister to 4 siblings, a daughter to WAY to many parents but obviously only 2 biological :), I am a wife to the most amazing man in the world and have been married for him for 2 years in October. I am a woman that can not wait to have children and raise them to be some of the most amazing people to walk this earth. I have friends that rock my socks and I couldn't function if I didn't have them in my life. I am a very boring woman and love my "home time" with my husband and family. I have a niece and nephew that are too amazing for words and a God that loves me unconditionally. This is me and I hope that you will enjoy reading my blogs.
