Homeward Bound

Anyways, that's the plan. Hopefully the kids go to sleep really fast tomorrow because I'm leaving as soon as they're down. And then I'm rushing as fast as I can to Nate and Jamie's to see Haley. Cause it will be the only time all weekend I can see her. And seeing her is a necessity. Unfortunately I can't speed too much since it's a holiday weekend and the cops will be thick as maggots on a dead dog. That was really gross but it's the first thing to come to my head. Don't ask why. I don't know. Last year over Labor Day weekend when I was coming back home I kept a tally of all the cops I saw. This was on Monday on the actual holiday. I saw 24 cops. 2 in Kentucky, 1 in Tennesse and 21 in Illinois. Crazy.
Then I'm spending Saturday in Gridley after eating with Mandy and Erin and whoever else shows up at Docs. I don't think I've been to Docs since March. It's high time. And going to a wedding Sunday afternoon. And hopefully seeing Angie Monday. And my parents. I'm not sure when I'm going to see them. Good thing I don't have to leave until Monday. Okay, I'm hungry and sick of typing.

Story

Do you like the title of my post? I guess I'm not feeling too creative right now. But I have a story to tell. It happened Friday at lunch time. On either Tuesday or Wednesday we had a wasp in the kitchen during lunch time. So me, being the brave one, took it upon myself to kill it. With a flyswatter of course, and if you had a video of me doing it, you would realize I'm not so much the brave one. Anyways, mission accomplished, I killed the wasp. But we couldn't figure out where it went too. It came flying to the ground after I swatted it, (at my face mind you) and I just figured it must be blending in with the tile on the floor. Then I forgot about it and that was that. Well then Friday I was getting my lunch ready, eating leftover taco meat. I got it out of the fridge and started breaking it up with my fork cause it was all sticking together like greasy, fatty taco meat does. And I found a piece of burnt meat and went to throw it out. But rather than throwing it out, I pretty much freaked out, because there was my wasp friend, hanging off my fork just begging to be eaten. It was so gross. But even grosser is that the day before Miss Louise had eaten meat out of there and somehow missed the wasp. It really did blend in- I really thought it was just burnt meat at first. The ironic thing is, is that the pest control man happened to be there and asked if we had been seeing any bugs. So I held it up for him to see and told him that yes, we have been seeing them! So needless to say, I didn't have tacos that day.

Coming up in the World!

Well here I am, blogging somewhere besides the library! Jena came with a laptop and full intentions of getting internet so ta da! Here I am. It's been really busy around here lately. This weekend is the first in a long time where I don't have much going on and it's great. Funny- I used to dread the weekends with nothing to do. Now I look forward to them.
Did I post about our flood yet? Last Thursday we had a storm come through with lots and lots of rain in a short amount of time. And when that happens, a lot of times the preschool will get water in it. It's happened before since I've been here, but not this bad. The power had gone out about 5:00 and came back on about 11:00. When it came back on I went over to make sure everything was cut off because the kids had been messing with all the light switches and stuff. And when I walked into our big room, I heard squish, squish, squish. And looked down to see water pooling around my shoes. Man it was a mess. So last Friday I had a really long day because I worked from open to close cause I went in early to help Miss Louise get things cleaned up. So until Wednesday we were cramming the kids into the two smaller rooms and having naptime in the Fellowship Hall. We're finally back in the big room, but it still smells terrible. And it probably will for a long time.
This week was kind of a sad week. Kindergarten started which means my Devin is gone now. I thought he would be coming Monday and Tuesday so I didn't make a big point to say goodbye last Friday, but then he ended up not coming at all. Tuesday night I cried and cried cause he's going to big school, and I didn't tell him goodbye and I just miss him a lot already. But Thursday his mom called me and said she'd swing by after school on Friday. So I did get to see him for a few minutes. I absolutely cherish last Thursday though. When the power went off and it was storming outside, he was scared and sat in my lap the whole time. And his dad was late picking him up because of the storm and so I had about a half hour with just me and Devin. And he's so cuddly and smells so good and I decided that it was worth it to have the preschool flood just because of that. Boy, I sound a little obsessed. I'm not really, I just love the kid to pieces.
I'm really excited for next weekend. We're going up for the Leo sale. I had to miss it last year, and have been excited for this years sale since then. And it's finally almost here!
Okay well I need to go do stuff at the preschool. We're starting all over with the letter A on Monday and I need to go get my room ready. Bye!
