I am so Proud to be a...

WHITE SOX FAN! ! ! ! ! !

My bigtime celebrity crush

I do not care if he is like 20 years older than me. Grey's Anatomy makes my days better. Meredith and Derek together make my life complete. If something tears them apart this season, I will be a very mean person.

Presidential debate tomorrow. If McCain shows up. Ha.

I am old.

What has my life become when I am ready for bed at 9:30pm?

Who is this person?!?


In a few weeks the title of this blog won't even be accurate anymore!

Say What Wednesday

8:30am.
me: did you have a good weekend?
4 year old boy: YEAH! I GOT 2 NEW TITTIES!


oh the joys of being a speech therapist and kids who haven't yet suppressed the phonological process of velar fronting, which results in pronouncing the /k/ sound as a /t/ sound.

He was actually telling me that he got 2 new kitties.


It is 7pm and I seem to have contracted an effing cold from those germ infested little monsters, resulting in me being totally exhausted and ready for bed.

Remember

September 11, 2001.
A day I cannot find the right words to write about.
A day when anything else in my life that I write about seems petty and insignificant.
A day I have spent the entire evening watching the History channel re-living.
A day I will never forget.

September 11, 2001.
The lives lost are forever in my heart.

kids say the darndest things

Some of my favorite quotes from kindergartners I encountered during day 1 of my placement:

teacher: okay I'm going to throw you the ball and I want you to tell me your name.
boy she threw the ball to: Michaelthethird (literally he said it as one word)
teacher: thank you Michael
boy: NOOOOOO My NAME IS Michaelthethird

teacher: ok I want you to tell me your favorite color
boy: uhhhhhhh green (and points to orange)

teacher: we are going to draw pictures just like this one and you can take it home to your mom and-
boy (interrupts): MY MOM IS DEAD
another boy: YOUR MOM DIIIIIIED?
teacher: are we supposed to talk when then teacher is talking?
(side note: the boy was not joking. his mom died shortly after he was born)

girl with fake cell phone: I'm gonna call the cops!
same girl later: I'm gonna call the pageant officials (she is in beauty pageants)

teacher: ok good job going potty, but next time we put the toilet paper IN the toilet.

hi-lar-ious.

my luck strikes again!

Who gets flat tires on their first day of student teaching?

*raises hand* ME ME ME ME ME!


Never had a flat tire in my life, so why not get one on my first day of student teaching.

Sometimes it be like DAMN.

Tomorrow

is the day I enter a school not as a visitor, but as a speech pathologist. GRANTED, I may be a "student teacher" in the realm of speech pathology, but to the kids I'll be working with, I'm "the teacher" and they have to call me with that lovely "Miss/Ms" title. YUCK. That makes me feel like my 86 year old grandmother.

My supervisor said that although the kids are in school, they don't usually come to speech until the second week. So it looks like I'll be putting up bulletin boards or something equally exciting.

I am SO pissed at myself because I know in one of my drunken cleaning sprees (seriously, who cleans when they are smashed?), I threw out the paper from the hospital I used to work at that said I passed a TB test in December. So now, I have to get another TB test to give to the school I'm interning at, which will set me back like $30. Genius me.

Here's to a semester of life lessons, good grades, happy kids, and hot male teachers (please Lord give me an incentive to wake up early and look nice). Amen!
