Eve language.

I love how Eve mispronounces words. I don't ever want her to say them the right way because it is so cute. Here are a few of my favorites.

Music = Muse-Kick
Window = Nindow
Nuk = Gnochi
Zoo = Jew

I could go on forever but she is starting to try and say them properly and it makes me sad. I want her to stay little forever.

Disturbed

Today I had off of school so I took Eve to tap/ballet class. It is always fun to watch all of the barbie moms with their kids. Anyway I was eavesdropping on a conversation one mom was having with another mom. Apparently the little girl, we will call her Avery said,"I am the boss of the house." and the mom replied to Avery, "No, Daddy is the boss of the house." I was really shocked by this. If Eve had said that to me I would have replied, "No I am the boss of the house." or "No, Mommy and Daddy are the boss of the house." I would never say my husband was the boss. I think it is really sad that there are woman who don't set the example of being equal to their husband. In my humble opinion I think that saying your husband is the boss is saying that he is in charge of you. This really gets under my skin.

My 1st Purchase!!!

I finally got to purchase something for my soon to be munchkin! I am so excited over this. Normally I would wait much longer for this purchase but this stroller was on clearance at babiesrus and I couldn't pass it up! This is the stroller I wanted since we have decided to get an infant seat for this baby. Eve went straight into her Britax Marathon and still fits in it. By the time this baby outgrows the Britax Companion Eve should be in her booster seat and the munchkin can take over the Marathon. So originally this stroller is $339 but it was on sale for $175 plus I found a coupon for 20% off. It came with free shipping and I had about $20 on a gift card so I only paid $130 for it with tax. That is less than I paid for Eve's umbrella stroller. I cannot wait until this comes so I can put it together and cruise around the house with it. I might make Eve test ride it.

Why I love Adam!

When we first started dating Adam would do absolutely anything for me. He would be chilling on the couch with me and I would ask him to go get my chapstick and without so much as a sigh he would go get it for me immediately. As soon as he got back and settled in I would ask for lotion. (I didn't do this on purpose) and once again he would get up and get it. It was one of the first things that made me fall in love with him. I am extremely lazy and someone that was willing to bend over backwards to impress and spoil me was awesome in my book. He has always been so respectful of me and taken such good care of me. When we were dating for 1 month I knew we would spend the rest of our lives together. By 6 months my mom told us to get over ourselves and get married already because she could see how in love we were. We got engaged at a year and my parents response was "it's about time." They couldn't have asked for a better son in law and let him know that all the time. He is like a second son to them and he bends overr backwards for them as well. I really am a lucky girl. My husband is the hardest worker who would bend over backwards for everyone yet will stand up for what he believes in. Adam never ceases to amaze me everyday with his positive attitude, gracious heart, and commitment. Honestly he is the better half of this marriage and I am so thankful that God led me to him. He treats me like the center of his universe and still after almost 7 years still waits on me hand and foot. Don't get me wrong he is not some weak man who lets people push him around but he sets such a good example of what a man should be that I can rest assure that my daughter will always have a positive role model of how a man should treat her. He makes me laugh everyday a million times and lets me totally be my irrational, obnoxious, weirdest self possible. So why am I writing this random love profession about my husband? Honestly because it is all of the little things he does to make me happy. On Saturday (his day to sleep in) he woke up early to go get me puffy cheetos and wild cherry pepsi because I was craving it. Tonight he made me crescent rolls while he ate the leftovers because they were the only thing I could stomach. Yesterday after he got out of Jury duty he ran around running my errands so that I could come home after work and relax. He never complains when I ask him to do something so I don't have to feel guilty for asking for help. I love him and his dedication to my laziness. He really is a great husband. I totally adore him. On top of him being a total sweetheart he is also really really hot. I am not sure how I got so lucky!

I told.

So I told my principal today. She seemed pretty supportive and said that another teacher at my work is having the same issues I am. I wish she would see that this schedule is really nonsense. I came home from work today and took a 2 hour nap. I now need to do homework so I am sure I will be up for awhile. Only 2 more days of work this week and then I get a break!!! I am so freaking excited. I can't wait to sleep all day. To bad my mom is going out of town so I can't pawn Eve off on her so I can catch up a little on my sleep.

Work.

I am having a really hard time at work. I get so exhausted in the afternoon. I often feel very sick either I get nauseous or I get a really bad headache. I can't take anything for the headache because it makes me feel even sicker. I always want to lie down. My body just can't take working 9 hour days. My day is 1st period, 2nd prep, 3rd period, lunch, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th. Each class is an hour long. So I go 4 hours without getting a break. I am having a hard time even going to the bathroom in between classes because I am always busy. It is no wonder how I got a UTI. I am just not really sure how much longer I can do this. I am really hoping I feel better during the 2nd tri because if I don't this is going to be a really rough year. I have never felt more tired in all my life. I slept almost all weekend and could still sleep right now. I wish I could have 30 minutes in the afternoon to just lie down. I know I am being a baby but I seriously am really freaking tired and dealing with 30 kids every hour is stressful when you aren't feeling good. My students must think I am a hypochondriac because I am always not feeling well. These are the times I wish I worked a normal job where I could get a slightly lessened workload so that I could feel better. Just 30 minutes in the afternoon to myself would make a huge difference. I haven't told my principal yet that I am expecting and I am sure she won't be very supportive of what I am going through. My work is so stressful. Our principal is uber strict and I have to have my students engaged at all times. I know I should have them engaged but when you feel on the verge of puking yet never do it is hard to keep focused on anything but making sure you don't puke. I just don't see how she can accommodate my needs. I just want to feel like a normal person and not be so stung out at work. On top of it all I want to do when I get home is sleep and yet I have homework to do for my classes. I never got this tired or exhausted or nauseous with Eve so this was a little unexpected. I think I might have to tell my principal this week and pray that she will understand how I am feeling and be at least sympathetic towards me.

Dinner Time.

What happens when it takes you 2 hours to eat dinner?

July 2008

Oct. 2008

Eve takes forever to eat dinner. She does this on a regular basis. These are just the few times we thought to take pictures. She will eat her fruits and vegetables first and then just won't eat the rest of the meal. I think she might be a vegetarian and this is how she is letting us know.
