A Case of the Mondays

Today is Monday, and after a long wonderful weekend of doing nothing more than I absolutely had to, I came back to work, only to be missing my watch. Do you know how annoying it is not to have a watch?!? And in my classroom, I purposely set my clock a few minutes off so that my students don't pack up to leave before the bell rings, so that messed me up even more today because I kept forgetting that it was set wrong, and I kept thinking we had a few more minutes and then the bell would ring! Dangit!

I hope my husband found my watch at home today... If not, then I am going to have to find batteries for the other ones that I need batteries for! Argh.... I hate Mondays!

Lazy Day

Today is Saturday and I have done NOTHING all day long. But, due to recent adventures lately with my child, I could think of NOTHING better to be doing.

So, we have played ball, chased each other around the floor, and are sharing Ritz crackers and Cheerios. He thinks he wants some of my tea, but he'll just have to have his water instead.

There is NOTHING in the world better than doing absolutely NOTHING with your child all day long!

Yankee or Dixie?

In an attempt to keep my mind off of things that bother me, I opened some e-mails from people that I might not usually take the time to look at. In doing so, I have come across a site that deciphers how redneck you really are...

It's called Yankee or Dixie, and I am 81% Dixie.

Just redneck enough...

You try....

Murmurs of the Heart

If you have ever prayed for me, I appreciate you greatly, and ask for your continued support now.

Yesterday, my perfect child had his 9-month old well baby check-up. Being thankful that there weren't any shots or anything of that nature going on, I skipped out on this appointment. I can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing now, because we find out now that my little Micheal has a heart murmur.

Doctors (and everyone else I have said anything to) has said that this is perfectly normal and that 80% of all babies get them, and then grow out of them. So, we shall see.

But, I don't want to be in the part of the 80% that doesn't grow out of it, so pray for my child, that when we take him to a pediatric cardioligist there will not be anymore murmurs.

Confessions of a Junkie

Okay, so they say that the first step to normalcy is to admit you have a problem. So, here goes...

Hi. My name is Michelle, and I'm a reality show addict.

I have to have it! It all started with Survivor. Then it lead to Big Brother. Occassionally, I'll squeeze in a Bachelor or Bachellorette, but that's only out of morbid curiosity than a liking for the show itself. And don't forget American Idol! But I get a little bored when they get down to the last few shows. It's not fun when you can't make fun of the bad singers anymore.

But just this year, I really got into the Amazing Race. And, even though my son is still perfect and I don't have to worry about his antics just yet, I like to watch Super Nanny just to get some ideas for later.

The most fun to watch was My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancee. I loved watching to see what he was going to do next so that she didn't have an easy time convincing her family.

But, I do have to draw the line somewhere. I WILL NOT watch a couple of the new shows out now, especially ones on FOX. Ones like "Are you my Daddy?" and Bravo's "Project Runway" or the swimsuit model one, or even "Nashville Star."

So, thank God for DVR, because with all this TV to watch, I'd never get anything done!
