Just for your info....

Pizza Hut has the BEST Dr. Pepper. I swear. It tastes better than ANYWHERE else. Just thought I would share. Now I am going to lay down because I just ate way too much pizza and salad and drank way to much DP at the Pizza Hut Buffet.....

Concussed

So true story.....usually I am pretty dang good at finding my way in the dark through my house to my crying baby, but the other night I must have been a little dizzy or too tired or walking with my eyes completely closed, because I totally ran into the wall. And it wasn't my hands or legs or body that hit first, it was my head, and I hit it seriously hit HARD! I now know what people mean when they say they see stars after hitting their head. I totally saw them and the pain brought me to my knees. I am pretty sure I gave myself a concussion...I was nauseous and dizzy the rest of the night. I also got a bruise and a little bump on my forehead. Awesome story behind these war woulds, eh?

LOST

Is it sad that Dustin and I are SO excited for the season premiere of LOST (season 5) tonight? No I don't think so. We HAVE waited a long time. We are so excited that we are pretty much treating it almost like it is somebody's birthday! We love this crazy little show for some reason...addicted to it you could say. I wonder what our celebratory dinner will be tonight......corn dogs or chicken nuggets? :)

On an ironic note, our son is named Jack and we want to name a daugther Kate. I promise this was all in place BEFORE our addiction to the show. But I should have named our dog Sawyer, John, or Hurley....

Wow...

Wow...Now looking at that photobooth picture of me in thought, I have a really good idea of what I would like bald. Interesting...

Teaching

Is it wrong or sad or pathetic that when people ask me if I like my job, I cannot honestly answer yes? Well, I can HONESTLY say, I don't totally enjoy it. Maybe I would if I was single or if my kids were all grown up ..... but right now, not so much enjoying is happening. I can't completely figure out why. Maybe it is because I would rather ALWAYS be home with Jack or maybe it is cuz I have some pretty spoiled, unable to control themselves and their talking and their behavior students or maybe because teaching encompasses all my thoughts and time (yes even teaching part time) and completely drains me physically, emotionally, and mentally......Or maybe I would just rather sit home, be lazy, be a housewife and a homemaker. Yes. I think I would rather do that. They don't pay me enough to make the time put into this job worth it. And maybe I would like teaching better if I was like a p.e. teacher where I don't have so many papers and essays and tests to grade as I do being an English teacher. Being a teacher is TIME CONSUMING AND TIRING! Don't get me wrong....I don't HATE my job. There are great moments when I love it and things I love about it.....like that I get to teach WHATEVER I want HOWEVER I want and WHENEVER I want! That is awesome. The freedom at the school I work is great. And I love it when a student says something profound or brilliant or interesting or when they write an amazing poem or a super intellectual thought. Or when my ENTIRE class gets their poems accepted for publication. (TRUE STORY!) Those are great times, but I don't know if for me, right now in my life, they outweigh the not so great things. I AM TIRED! I just want to play with my Jack-Jack, but no, right now I need to write 2 finals by tomorrow, grade some other stuff and try to write nice comments about each student for the end of the semester. And one last thing....right now it kind of seems sad that I don't enjoy teaching too much after training to be a teacher in college for the last 5-6 years of my life. Is it bad that maybe I would rather go into sports administration or nursing now....Yeah, but like I wanna go back to school.....Anyway, I just needed to rant and rave a little and now I am going to try to entertain my son and write two finals at the same time. Wish me luck....

P.S. The English teacher in me would like to apologize for all of the run-on sentences and bad grammar and syntax in this post. The Complainer in me says, BITE ME! :)
