Decisions, decisons

To coach cheer or not to coach cheer that is the question!

TWILIGHT!!!!!!!

Okay things have finally calmed down!! But, now it is time to get the party started because Twilight the movie comes out on 3.21.09. Have you pre ordered yours?
Has anyone actually located a vampire, because I kind of...want one?

Is it possible to live with out gossip?

This isn't the most positive blog, but I am sure that all of us has experienced this at some time or another, maybe we are even guilty of it. My wonderings are...what the heck is wrong with people? Are people so unhappy with their own lives that they must do what they can to damage mine? At the moment this comes from a parent that crossed the line, now she is so mad at me for calling her (politely) on it that she isn't saying very nice things...mind you this parent requested that her child be in my classroom and this isn't the first problem that I have had with her this year. The things that she is saying are not true and anyone who really knows me knows that they aren't. UGHHH!!! I swear it is impossible in a town this size and a school district that size to lay low. I thought that if I just left it alone it would blow over (as I have with other things in my life). When will I learn? I don't like confrontation, but one bad comment can develop people's opinions of you and it takes about ten good comments to chang their minds. There, after that vent now I feel better!!!! :)

Tucker AKA Marley

If anyone has seen or read Marley and me, you know, what a horrific spaz he was. Well, I think that my yellow lab Tucker is equivalent to if not worse than Marley. I was out of town this weekend and he was horrible!! He is like the child that acts out when you leave town and then you spend the rest of your time gone, wondering if the person that you left them with is surviving.

I took my cheerleaders to Tacoma for wrestling state this weekend and left my 19 year old niece in charge of the house. Tucker took full advantage of having a teenager in charge. When he wants to play he will grab anything in site if there are no toys available. So, to him Ashleys cell phone, the remote, shoes and her friends cell phone were perfectly acceptable to grab and run with. It was wonderful to him because when he did this he would get an immediate reaction from the girls and the chase was on. Game initiated!! When he does this you have to be very firm and tell him to "LEAVE IT" any smile, giggle or false move and he thinks that it is play time and off he goes. Poor Ashley now needs a new cell phone and I think that I am down a house sitter. Why oh why did John Grogan beat me to writing Marley and me? I am pretty sure that I have the sequal in Tucker the Terrible.

Tucker is sick :(

My poor baby Tucker is sick. If anyone knows Tucker and would like to see him calm for the first time in his life, now is the time. He has kennel cough which is equivalent to a cold.

Simple things

This morning I was so excited!!!! I saw not one but two bald eagles. To some this might not be super exciting, but it is freezing here and it was 7:00 in the morning! I did text my brother that I saw them, but he didn't text me back. It was then that I realized maybe no one would be as interested in this as I was. So, I decided I could enjoy it alone because it is the simple things in life that make us happy!!
Things like:
1. fresh baked Cinnamon rolls
2. wild life
3. family dinners
4. pets
5. pictures
6. clean sheets
7. road trips
8. a good song
9. a cup off coffe (or cocoa)
10. babies in any species
11. new clothes
12. a good laugh
13. a good movie
14. a good book
15. hugging
16. kissing
17. a hot shower
18. a comfy blanket
19. laughing
20. chocolate
What are your simple things??? There is a lesson here too, someone else's happiness might not come from the same simple pleasures that you have, so always embrace the moment from someone else's eyes and remember: people see what they want to see.

SNOW!!!!

Yakima has not seen any shortage of snow!! No matter how hard I prayed we got snow snow and more snow. Even though the dogs love it, I do not!!!!!!!! It could have been made a little better with a few late starts or snow days for school, but one can only wish!
