This morning I gave her a sippy cup full of milk. She is half asleep, walks into the living room, climbs on the couch and sits the sup on the end table.
The cup is wobbling back and forth like a penndulum.
She looks at it with a very serious face, and says, "Settle down, just settle down!"
Guess I must say that too much!

Funny joke I had to share.....
And for my daily Cleveland visitors, I bring you a joke :)
Ahem.
How do you get a Cleveland Brown to stop masterbating????
You paint his dick black and gold, and he will never beat it again!

Freebie alert!
A pet peeve of mine....
Ok, my husband and I both have credit cards with a 'company whose name we will never say'. Both have zero balances, but we like to keep them in case of emergencies (like xbox 360 emergencies/spa or massage emergencies - you know that kind of emergency).
So, we frequently get calls from this 'C W N W W N S' and they want us to purchase this or that insurance, or this or that service that will automatically be billed to our card yearly! We don't need it so we always say no.
We started out by saying no politely... but now we are just jerks about it.
To add insult to injury, they now, apparently have these call centers located in some foreign country where they speak broken english.
PET PEEVE ALERT: I can not stand someone to call me who doesn't speak English!
Now, that is not the worst of it.... if you do call me and are trying to sell me X, Y, Z AND you don't speak English, don't tell me your name is JUSTIN or FRED or THOMAS! It freakin is not ! Do you think I am that stupid? Do you think that will make me want to buy your bullshit? It doesn't, actually it makes me want to make you feel like an idiot.
Typically, I lure them into some converstation, egging them on and acting like I might buy their shit and then, I start talking really fast (they can't keep up) or use words they never learned (that catches them off-guard).
But now that this has gone on for a few months, I am bored of it. Now, I am just plain ol' mean and nasty to them.
Especially when I answer the phone and there is a long ass pause..... (computer connecting), then I hear in a thick ass accent, "Michael?" - no, idiot, I am a female; I answered the phone with my female voice! So I scream back "NO!", then they usually say, "Is Michael there?" to which I scream again, "NO!" ... they just get all flustered and hang up!
Damn, I hate that!

My big girl...
Well, little MJ is getting to be a big girl. She is in her little 'big girl' panties with the Wiggles on them. She loves them. I can't believe we are just about done potty training her. I am so glad that its almost done. I am already dreading doing it again with Lauren!
Mike and I were just talking yesterday about how her face isn't a baby face anymore, its more like a little girl's! My goodness, I just had her, what seems like, five minutes ago! Time just is flying by. Her gaining her independence from me (potty training etc.) is a blessing and curse, because I feel sad that she isn't my baby anymore.
Here is a scrap page done with three of MJ's pics to show how much she is grown!

New job
Well, I am now the proud owner of yet another jobby job to add to my collection. Seriously, I do have a lot of things going on, but never at the same time. I like to spread my shit out so that all can get a piece of this........
Ok, enough of that talk....
Seriously though, this is going to be great (I hope)... I told them I would think about it for a day or so before committing, but I am pretty sure I am going to do it.
I will be an online teacher for students who need tutoring or help after school. It is a great program free to any student in America who goes to a school who hasn't reached AYP (annual yearly progress) under the NCLB (No Child Left Behind) Act. Of course, they have to have access to a computer, and be willing to commit to a time to be online connected with a teacher, with both a interactive notebook/pen, headset and mic. Hmmmm, well, I guess that leaves out the majority of my 'urban' kids.
But, I can't NOT take a job just because of that, so I think I am going to do it. No lesson planning, just being available for answering questions and helping them out ! Its only going to be about 10-15 hours a week, and I am online anyway! I may as well be earning money and a new blurb on my already-too-many-pages long resume. But resumes are a topic for another entire post (maybe tomorrow).
I am still awaiting CCAC's schedule for next semester, and I can't commit to any times for tutoring until I know when they have placed my courses. I am hoping to have a few classes really roll this time because its easy money, and I love teaching computers at the college level.
We shall see I suppose, I will keep you posted.

Fond holiday memories from my childhood.......
I was chatting with a childhood friend on myspace for a few minutes today, but I have to say that anytime I talk with old buds, I am flooded with memories of them.
So, today, I was remembering the very elaborate haunted houses we used stage in Faye's parents basement. I was only able to do this a few years, but her and her brother did it every year religiously, if I remember correctly.
When I say elaborate, I mean various rooms were created using string and sheets, costumes were made and with the haunted house was equipped with strobe lighting and us forcing people to put their hands in bowls with jello and bouncy balls and telling them they were eyeballs, LOL!
I can only imagine the clean up required when all was said and done !
Another memory that has been lingering close lately was the things we did with the girl scouts. I remember at Christmas time, we used to go carolling at nursing homes. I really can't wait for my girls to be old enough to do this kind of thing. I remember how good it felt afterwards, and seeing the little old ladies and making them smile.
