dogs, diapers & drinks

let me start this by saying my sister is in town [with her dog and cat]. super fun, right? wrong. very wrong. we are trying to get the house cleaned and looking nice for when my grandfather comes into town this weekend...well that is hard to do with three dogs and cats in the house.

anyways, my parents finally got the floors fixed and refinished, so hopefully we are done with that for a while. and yes, i still live with my parents. i'm a broke pre-school teacher that is about to start nursing...no way am i living on my own right now!

ok back to what i was saying. my sister is in town. with her dog and cat [that is the size of a dog]. well she left this morning for work at like 4 am...leaving her obnoxious & yappy dog in my bathroom. well the little devil barked and whined and scratched at my door for THREE hours. let me just tell you this did not help me sleep at all. in fact, he kept me awake until i put him in his kennel and let him sleep by my bed. little turd. oh he also scratched all the paint off the bottom of my door. super! ugh, whatever. the dog is cute. just annoying.

then i get to work. crying children everywhere. and we have a pumpkin contest going on right now...hopefully mine wins. i used an idea from pinterest! i'll put a little picture below. but anyways, one child didn't stop crying ALL dang day until his mom and dad walked through the door and he just smiled and went on over to them. my goodness. exhausting. and i changed way too many diapers...maybe i'll start a tally for every diaper i get a drink! KIDDING. that would be bad. but i did treat myself to a lovely glass of wine this evening :)

tomorrow we have a costume parade, which i have to dress up for. so i am thinking i'll do something easy. cowgirl! super easy!

my pumpkin looks pretty similar to this. i got a different bow and my buttons are a little different. but it turned out great! such a cute idea :)

i thought today was friday...

so yesterday when work ended everyone was so happy that the next day would be friday, which generally means it will be an easy day for us pre-k teachers. well, let me just tell you...we were WRONG. especially in my classroom. i love babies, so i chose to be in the infant room permanently. not sure if i am regretting my decision or not. but anyways, we have had pretty low numbers lately cause lots of kiddies are sick or out of town. well today, one sickling came back after being gone for a week. let me tell you...he was SPOILED rotten. so bad. like following me around and hitting me so that i would pick him up. little turd. but as he was screaming his head off...one of the twins got sick ALL over the floor (gross).

i'll just leave it at that. today felt like a monday, not a friday.

on a good note...i got my birchbox and i am in love. i can't wait for my november one to come. below is the link that shows what came in my box this month. the only thing i have tried so far is the face wash, which i absolutely LOVE.

anyways...i am tired. so i am off to read the hunger games (excellent book). i am taking a break from my usual jodi picoult and emily griffin books. i also read a carol grace book, the millionaire's nanny...so good!

the bucket list.

i found it. my bucket list. for fall, of course.

so far...i have: made leaf art (with the kiddies at work), gone to a pumpkin patch, and had fancy coffee drinks. my goodness...i better get started on the rest!

it's only tuesday?

oh my gosh. i can't believe it is only tuesday. this week my work schedule changed a bit because EVERYONE is getting sick so i have been filling in other classrooms along with working in my own.

anyways...numbers (amount of kiddies) have been really low this week. fine by me. but you would think that with less kids i would have no problem walking around in a clean classroom, wrong. as i was handing some parents their kid's bag and daily sheet i tripped over a toy and knocked over a swing that had a BABY in it and almost landed on him. poor thing. he was in a deep sleep too, and i scared the little monster/almost killed him that he woke up. well don't worry about him, he is fine. he didn't even hit his head on the floor cause i caught him and took the fall (a very painful one i might add). but now i have a nice swollen knee, bruised ankle and a bruise on my booty. sad day. oh and i embarrassed myself in front of those parents...oh well. just another day as miss jessica. by the way, the baby got revenge. as i was changing his diaper he peed...all over me.

well...i'm going to read my new favorite book "the millionaire's nanny". i just finished reading "the help" and a bunch of other books.

i'm addicted to my kindle.
