Life According to Jenn » 2009 » February

A crazy, hectic two weeks!!!

Jenn — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 01:48:54 +0000

So you are all probably wondering where the heck everything has been, right? Well…let’s start with this:

Yes, friends, that is our car. The Thursday before our Valentines party at school, Caitlyn and I were in a wreck on the way to pick Faith up from daycare. That has messed up our WHOLE week or two…because we STILL don’t have a rent car due to this mess. So, Brooke and Ryan came and picked us up and we went to go pick up Faith at the daycare (who was waiting with my Mother In Law at the daycare because she didn’t have a car seat). Needless to say, I deserved a 20 oz. margarita from Cristina’s…so I got one…and it was good.

Jonathan and I had tickets to the Myerson. I booked a room at aloft in Frisco for Valentine’s Day. Here are the pictures:

So it was a fabulous day. Then I went with Brooke to buy teaching stuff, which was awesome! Then we went to Love and War in Texas.

So, the craziness has settled somewhat. I must get back to dinner so therefore I will talk about the Wii bowling birthday party in my next post.

Week 4

Jenn — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 05:02:00 +0000

2-16-09 Monday- This is the Valentine’s Day card Jonathan got me…I know it says Birthday but it’s a pug so who cares? You open it up and you hear a dog licking…it’s too stinkin’ cute!!

2-17-09 Did you know that the end of the flag is a cone? My class went around and took pictures of real 3D objects

2-18-09 Wednesday- TAKS training Part I. I may be needed to administer it…is it wrong to say I am a little excited?

2-19-09 Thursday- Look! I left before 6…it’s a MIRACLE!!!

2-20-09 Friday- Today was this little girl’s last day…this is from the First Day of School because my camera died. I will miss her sweet smile everyday! She is going to ….Irving ISD…where I first taught.

2-21-09 Saturday- Brooke and I planned a party to celebrate her birthday and Jonathan’s. It was a Wii Bowling party…visit my other blog to see and hear the details.

2-22-09 Sunday- Well, I woke up this morning not being able to breath out my nose and had a migraine. These are the wonderful things that made me feel better at 4:00 p.m. (Yes, it took THAT long for me to feel decent).

Week 3

Jenn — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 04:21:00 +0000

2-10-09 Monday- I decided that Caitlyn and I needed to stop and get a beverage. My Route 44 Diet Coke was yummy!

2-11-09 Tuesday- My BFF got hired in Dallas ISD to teach kindergarten so we all went to celebrate!!

2-11-09 Wednesday- So, I get a little paranoid…okay a lot paranoid…and I had swelling behind my ear…even went to the school nurse because I thought it was serious. There was just drainage behind my ear drum OR my lymph node was fighting off strep…who knows…but I had my Wal-Phed anyway

2-12-09 Thursday- So…on the way to pick up Faith (and get Mrs. Dophied a VDay gift) a Jeep Cherokee decided to go all the way across Eldorado and fail to see our cute Toaster. Today…Caitlyn and I got into a wreck.

2-13-09 Friday- We had tickets to the Myerson, but little did Jonathan know my second surprise was a night at the super hip Aloft hotel in Frisco (more pics to come on my other blog because it was too cool not to share).

2-14-09 Saturday- After a long day, Faith played “waitress” and was telling us the specials of the evening.

2-15-09 Sunday- We drove up to Bonham to have a picnic on the farm…little did we realize how super cold it was. Funny thing was Grampa leading us through sticky trees

Week 2

2-1-09 We can’t take him anywhere. Jonathan decided to be difficult and order steak medium rare….so he got his own special steak at Maggiano’s and he thought he was somethin’ special. This is his “snooty nose” face…I think it looks like he smelled something bad, personally

2-2-09 Yes, this is what happens when you decide Friday afternoon to just “leave everything” and go home. I came back to find my big ol’ mess on a table

2-3-09 Trying to find a oatmeal that isn’t a lot of points, I took a co workers advice to try Quaker Weight Smart Maple Sugar Oatmeal…yeah…it was nasty to me…if you know me, you know I’m picky!

2-4-09 This is the Chick Fil-A cow that our class gets to keep until he moves on to the next class who had the biggest turnout at Chick Fil-A night…hopefully, we win again and he stays

2-5-09 Jonathan came home from work and the girls were still awake, so he decided he would read them both a story before we got ready for bed.

2-6-09 Faith had pajama day at school. She told me the whole class got to wear pj’s except for one girl who was naughty

2-7-09 Faith was supposed to spend the night with her friend, Liz, at Mr. Ryan and Mrs. Brooke’s house…until she came down with a fever and sore throat. She said “I only need a little sleep, Mommy”

2-8-09 Snickers is our newest addition to our family. He is a mix between Chloe and Tramp

What are kids made of?

Jenn — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 01:38:45 +0000

So, Jonathan and I were playing Tetris and Faith was with us on the couch. We were talking silly to her. Here’s her conversation:

Jonathan: “Faith, are you made of chocolate?”

Faith: “Nooooo

Jonathan: “You’re not?”

Faith: “No, Daddy, I’m made of kid supplies”

Kids Say the Darndest Things….

So let me set this up for you: Caitlyn, Faith, and I went to Borders last night to buy my Barack Obama book I had ordered. We were standing at the counter and there was a biography about Barack Obama. Alrighty here we go…..are you ready….grab some popcorn…I’ll wait…………okay:

Caitlyn: (points to the words “Barack Obama” and reads it)

Me: “Yes! Very good! That does say Barack Obama.

Caitlyn: “He’s dead, right?”

Me: “NO! He’s our President! He’s not dead.

(Cashier is laughing)

Caitlyn: “But isn’t he the guy that someone shot because they didn’t like him?”

Me: “NO!” (Now I am embarrassed that my child thinks our president is dead)

Now we are walking out of the store and I ask her why she thought what she did.

Caitlyn: “My teacher told me that he was shot because someone didn’t like him”

This morning, I go to her teacher (who is on my team) and tell her the story. Apparently, Caitlyn got Martin Luther King and Barack Obama mixed up! This happened due to discussing Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday and having the Inauguration all on the same day!
