Nibblers

Let me start out by saying this has been one crazy week. On Monday I had 4 children go home with lice and some already at home with it. Yea I know lovely right? But hey yea for me I have somehow managed to miss the lice train again. (I have never had it in my entire life). Anyways that afternoon I have to get some stuff done so I stayed after school. It was crazy so I am in our closet at school digging through our milk crate when a mouse comes out onto my hand, yes that is correct I did say on my hand. It then ran across my other hand needless to say I totally acted like a girl I flipped out screaming and shaking my hands. I was freaked out!!!! It CRAWLED on me. By this time it was well after school so there were only a few people left in the building however the ones that were left came out and we all just starring at me till I could tell them what happened and Sarah and Mira where just laughing. So after I was done freaking out I then too started laughing at the whole thing. So Sarah is being a fantastic help and grading papers for me when she looks up and says "um Jenny... this answer would be wrong right?" I looked at the map test paper and realized what she was talking about. This child had written . "This map is a f***ed map!" I was like what???? So I call Mira over to check this out and I had a bag of cookies on my table that I had been eating (only a few, thank goodness) and I got one out to eat and I noticed that it had a little black spot on it so I hand it to Mira grossed out and they both laughed that it had mouse poop on it. That was then my clue to go home. The next day we saw him again so we named him Nibblers. Well this morning he decided to curl up in a rug in my classroom and a child went to the sink (where the rug is) and stepped on the rug and squished and said "Mrs. Mc the rug is squishie" I was like its alright, not thinking anything about Nibblers. Well not two minutes later did another student say "Mrs. Mc there is a rat back here" I am thinking great. I walk over to where he is and there is Nibblers squished to death. My class was ummmmmm not sure there is a word to describe their reactions. So rest in peace you stupid mouse.

The week has just been crazy like that. I haven't even made it home before 7 and as late as 10 this week. Bailey is suffering the worse. Bry has induction week stuff so he is out every night and I have been late a school and parent teacher conferences which is a story in itself and we are having a gospel meeting this week at church that last till Sunday night so. Tonight I am going out with Steph so that will be fun times.
My parent teacher conferences went well with the exception of one parent. This parent is younger than me and he wanted me to explain to him why 5+4=9, 4+5=9, 9-4=5, and 9-5=4. So I did then he wanted to know why I was teaching that to a second grader. That he was in a dummy math class so doesn't remember learning that. Then after explaining that he went on to tell me that he ask 4 12th graders to do that math and they couldn't. I was like they couldn't do addition and subtration??? He was like well they said they are just learning it this year. I was like addition and subtraction???? So then he moved on to why I was teaching social studies to second graders and that I should make them be able to identify and label the 7 continents and 4 oceans. I was like it is a framework mandiated by the state that says a second grader will be able to do this. He was like that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard by this time is is getting loud and I am pretty much dumbfounded and Mira scoots over and says the same thing I have said and he is not liking the answer still so he gets up and is like school is stupid.Um I was like whoa weridO!!!! We all got a huge laugh out it. Some entertainment for the evening. Our parent teacher conferences are in our cafe so everyone heard. It was def funny.

Anyhoos I've rambled on and on so have a good one everyone. :0)

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house

That don’t bother me

I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out

I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while

Even though going on with you gone still upsets me

There are days every now and again I pretend I’m ok

But that’s not what gets me


What hurts the most

Was being so close

And having so much to say

And watching you walk away

And never knowing

What could have been

And not seeing that loving you

Is what I was tryin’ to do


It’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go

But I’m doin’ It

It’s hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I’m alone

Still Harder

Getting up, getting dressed, livin’ with this regret

But I know if I could do it over

I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart

That I left unspoken


What hurts the most

Is being so close

And having so much to say

And watching you walk away

And never knowing

What could have been

And not seeing that loving you

Is what I was trying to do

Requested Ramblings

Okay okay so I give in... I have had a couple people send me messages saying that I need to update however I figured no one read this thing since there are no comments but apparently I am wrong. So here goes some rambling.

Life has been fairly busy. School has been going very smoothly this year. It is amazing how much I am enjoying it. Dont get me wrong there are some days when I think I am going to have to go to the crazy house but at the same time I can't imgaine doing any other job(other than a housewife and mother). Here is a crazy day for you... a kid that gets mad at himself or anyone else and throws his desk across the room, a child who is sitting next to me reading and scratching like crazy then all of the sudden a flea jumps off of him!!!, a child who gets upset because someone finishes first so they get up and hit them in the back of the head as hard as they can, a child who is sharing arrowheads that they found and when you ask where did you find them they tell you "daddy found them while dumpster diving" um GROSS!!!!, a child that informs you that it "would be really funny if your skirts falls off and we could all see your underwear", someone wants the bean bag seat that someone else has thier head on so you walk over and just rip it out from them causing thier head to hit the concrete floor super hard, crying, crying, crying, and more crying from a child, this could go on and on for ever but no need. Some would make you want the crazy house others its all you can do not to laugh in front of them:0) Enough about school.

Life outside of school is also going well. Bryan and I have never been this close nor have we ever gotten along this well! He thinks its because we hit the 5 year mark this summer but I think we have really come to appreicate what we have and we are both really glad to have each other. :0) I know barf right! The girls have been so enjoyable lately. I love them so very much and want my own badly but there is def. a difference of opinion on that so you knows how that will all turn out. Mia Grace spent the night with us the other night and then spent the whole day with me. She is stinkin funny! She wanted to help do everything, make the bed, dishes, put clothes away, hang up B-yre's ties, which when I lifted her up to do so she hung one up and knocked like 50 down and said with eyes wide" Opps my Jenny I help pick up I didnt mean to do it" Melt of the heart so I laughed and we picked them all up together! She is so funny. She loves to talk about everyone. She is always want to know about "My Casey, My Kayla, and My Josh(sometimes Joshie). She is a rotten mess who is that way becasue she is spoiled. In her big girl panties we are doing fantastic however still not 100% on the "everybody poops" but her!!! lol.

Andy and Erin were here this week and I was so glad to see them. It was really nice to have more family here. I so love them both!!! We have some good time together.

I have been fighting off some new changes in my health so that has been a bit of a downer and some learning of some lesson but hey that's life right?

This past friday I didn't come home till about 5:45 in the morning and get this I came home to an empty house all by myself!!!!! Claps for Jenny the big fat chicken:0) I only got to sleep in till about 1 becasue my phone kept ringing(which is my own dumb fault, I should have turned it off) and have had late nights ever since so that is not helping my situation with my health at all. opps.

Well I am about done rambling about nothing so if you are still reading this sorry there was nothing important!

Love you all!!!!!!
