Crazy Busy

Aaaah! My life is so crazy right now.
Preschool is back in session. Yay! I have 2 classes again. My morning class has 11 students, 10 boys 1 girl. Seriously! 10 three year old boys doesn't take long to wear you out. My afternoon class is much more mellow with 7 girls and 3 boys. But both classes are a lot of fun. Last year, I had only 5 kids in one class and 7 in the other class. So to say that this year is much more challenging, is an understatement. However, I firmly believe that with greater challenge comes greater reward. I'm most excited about our Winter Wonderland program. I think it will be super exciting to have so many little voices singing. Not to say that I didn't enjoy my classes last year, I very much did. I'm just really excited to spend my days with such a fun, rambunctious, eager group of kids.
I also decided to take on another job at my church. Custodian. Well, another woman and I are splitting the duties. Last time our church lost a custodian, we went nearly 4 weeks without one. So Mrs.B and I decided to split the duties. The last custodian we had was less than stellar. Many duties had gone undone for quite a while. So we've spent the last week putting in extra hours to get our church looking beautiful again. Custodian is a much unappreciated job. Many, many props to housekeepers and custodians every where. It's hard work! And it's 7 days a week. I've been going in after the kids go to bed, that way I know all of the church activities are over plus I don't have to miss out on time with my kiddos. They're so busy, I feel like I hardly see them as it is.
About them being busy, Monkey has soccer on Monday and Wednesday, Taekwondo on Tuesday and Thursday. Banana has 2 dance classes on Wednesdays and Girl Scouts every other Monday. And oh yea, did I mention that I decided, at the very last minute, to be the Girl Scout leader. Because I'm just so bored... Ha.
I also have something very very exciting going on that has taken up quite a bit of time lately. The good news is that all of the work I had to do for that is over. Now we're just waiting. I know you're dying to know what it is. But... You're going to have to wait till tomorrow.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Come on back to see what I've been working so hard on.

Baby Wipes? What the H***?!

Preschoolers are so unpredictable. Last week, it was brown day so we painted with chocolate pudding. I was getting baby wipes out to clean their hands and just as I handed one to a little girl, she looks at it and says, "Baby wipes! What the hell?"

Of course, I had a parent in the room that day, too. This parent stood up so straight, and her eyes just about popped out of her head. I have no idea how she or I managed not to laugh. This tot is a teeny, tiny little thing, who generally walks around saying "That's AMAZING!", about everything. Even pooping. Then she just pops open with a cuss word. At least none of the other students heard her. You just never know what is going to happen in a preschool classroom.

Thanks for stopping by. Come back soon.

Woody Pecker?

     I know what you're thinking. That is a totally inappropriate title. If so, then your mind is as dirty as mine and we should be friends. ;)
     Last night we signed up for the free trial of Netflix and the kids are super excited. I'm sure we will continue the subscription. It's only $7.99 a month. There  is a whole "Just for Kids" menu. And there are shows we had never even heard of on there. I mean who knew there was a Lala Loopsy TV show? I sure didn't. Well, the kids were arguing about what they wanted to watch. Banana wanted to watch Bratz and Monkey wanted to watch anything else. So Mama Random got to pick out the show. And of course, I picked Woody Woodpecker. I haven't seen this stuff in years! So Monkey is reading off the titles of the shows and says "Woody the Woodpecker, that's what we're watching?" Yep! Of course Banana has to shout out her translation "Woody Pecker?!"  I just busted out laughing and Hubby is swearing he is going to lock her up in her room when she turns 10. LOL!
     Bill Cosby was definitely on to something when he said "Kids say the darndest things." Mine certainly do any way. How about yours? Leave me a comment with an outrageous kid quote or a link to a story. I'd love to hear them.

You Want to Break What in Half?

     Whew. What a week. Its flown by. I must have been really busy or in so much pain that I didn't notice. Turns out I have dry socket where i got that tooth pulled. And it sucks! But luckily I went to dentist Monday night and he packed it full of some disgusting medicine stuff. It looks like something you would pull out of a clogged drain. And it smells like some kind of floor cleaner. But it sure works awesome. And I guess I had an infection in it too because he gave me a prescription for an antibiotic. That I can't even remember to take.
      Anyway. Let me tell you a little story about the kiddos. If you read my previous posts then you know that we recently got a puppy. She was a stray and she's about 5 months old. So potty training is kinda so-so. She won't potty in her crate, but she wants to shit on my floor. Well, I don't do shit. But the kids are more than happy to. They are just so happy to have her that they will do anything. They've even been keeping their toys picked up so Lilly won't choke on them. So back to my story... The damn dog crapped on the living room floor and Banana was first to get a tissue to clean it up. And what do I hear Monkey say? "Hey, break it in half so I can help too!" Ummm. What! Absolutely not. We are not breaking a dog turd in half so you guys can share the responsibility of taking care of her. The crazy thing is that the kid was dead serious. Running through the house to get a tissue to help clean it up. And I have no doubt that if I hadn't intervened, Banana would have broken that poo in half. This definitely tops the list of crazy in those 2, bumping their very real fight over an imaginary toy into a very close 2nd place. But that's another story.
     Well friends I hope the crazy in my life has given you atleast a laugh. Thanks for stopping by and come back soon.
