Home Sick

So this is the one minute that I get to blog...when I am home sick! Nuts.
I have been fighting this little bugger for at least two weeks now. I went to a wedding on Sunday night and was up till about 2am. Um...can we say EXHAUSTED?! So my little bugger took that opportunity to make his way into my upper respitory system (as per Dr. Net). Yesterday, I slept all day. I mean ALL DAY. I didn't wake for Oprah lol, I didn't wake for screaming children. I did wake for 5-10 minute email checks to make sure my students didn't burn down my classroom, and for a bagel, and fries.

I stayed home yesterday and pulled the computer out to log in to Aesop (program that teachers call in sick to...subs log in to find the jobs and choose where they want to sub for the day. Mr. Scott will be in my class today-the kids will love it..it being a MAN)to call in for today. I hate doing it but I forced myself to take the day so I can totally get better before visiting the brother, sister, SIL and nephew in Virginia for Nicorooni's FIRST BIRTHDAY! No one wants a hacking, coughing, whiny visitor. So here I lay, in bed, wondering if Dr. Erlich is the one that I can't stand and hoping its not because I have an appnt with him at 11.

What's New Here at the Zoo:

*Lucas can now say-cookie,shoes, socks, on, doggy sorry, cracker,garbage, no, yes, gimme,nooooo, I want, momma, mommy, mom, mommamia, moooommmmmyyyy and mommamoo

*Lucas' obsession with shoes has grown to new heights with the sighting of crocs that have fur lol

*Brooke is learning how to write her name and mommy is already obsessing (yes, I already fled to the kindergarten wing at my school asking for advice) that she writes her o's backwards. Now this may sound silly to obsess about but the o is the base for every letter...so if you write that backwards...you write most letters backwards...K Teacher advice- teach c first....ahhh gotta love those k teachers! This helps with pen direction.

*Brooke just recently went to the Monster Truck show with Uncle Danny and Aunt Marylynn. Quote of the day: "Mom, those truck drivers don't know what they are doing. They kept crashing. I was going to go tell them but I was too little to get down there".

*Valentines day- Brooke went to Friendly's with Daddy for some grub and icecream. Lucas stayed with mom. We had a candlelight dinner (for real). I had a calzone mmm and he had a slice of pizza. Cutest date I ever had... but boy oh boy I never did have a date take a poop right in front of me-strained face and all! lmao

*Mom(me) has been running and loving any time i can get outside rather than on the treadmill. I HATE the treadmill. I got a bike and can't wait till the weather gets nicer so I can take it out. Love that I will be able to get to a "different location" in the matter of an hour on bike...

So that's whats happening in the zoo. Love some of the new blogs that I've been visiting..if you want to get inspired take a look!
