So thanks to dads awesome grass growing skills, the grass brings me home, and will be bringing me home again this coming weekend for a weekend full of fun festivities ( I can here my momma saying "try to say that 5 times fast!") I have Laceys Bach party Friday night so I get to go home early Thursday to do some last minute shopping and cake making with Kort and Friday will be busy busy and a late night! Saturday will be just as fun as I get to watch my not so baby sister :( dress up and go to a PROM! I cannot believe it! I received a picture on my phone of her dress, which is FABULOUS, when I was in Clearwater and I had no one to rant and rave to so I had to settle with Cody who yes was very complementary but I was wanting a little more OHH and AHH which she will be getting from me saturday night, YIPPEE!!

But then I counted my blessings that I had my fingers and I am able to use my right hand! I went back to the long weeks I had to shower, write, button my pants, brush my hair, open the door, so on and SO ON with my left hand. It was a miserable few weeks and a pretty penny after all said in done but I am THANKFUL to have all body parts up and running and no health issues (besides my coldsore that is stubborn and wont go away!)

I left Clearwater on time to be to at work on time and all was going great. Weather was good, I got home with out a GPS, and even had time to unload all my stuff. On the way home in Slyvia (my truck) I noticed I was kind of shaking but I blamed the wind and kept on truckin'. I got back to Ford Hall and was unloading my stuff to find a rim to cement tire, it was flat.....very, very flat! Wasn't the first time it has went flat on me. I preceded to walk around my truck to find....my MUFFLER on the ground! I had a very flat tire and a now non attached muffler. Poor G parking lot heard all about it, I was very frustrated and might have raised my voice to calm myself down, remembering it WAS going to be a good Monday! I text dad in panic not knowing what to do, it's hard not having a dad close by to do the manly stuff for you! I borrowed Lacey's guy to air me up to at least make it to a tire shop, thanks Blake!! BUT nothing more to complain about or worry about until tomorrow, Slyvia is now recovering in G parking lot with a slow leaking tire and a muffler in the passenger seat, poor girl. </span></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#33CC00;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#33CC00;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Happy Monday to all! </span></span></span></div>Haleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09705904750643130657noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109145881949686650.post-360056192891765452010-03-24T18:41:00.000-07:002010-03-24T19:06:53.506-07:00I'm A Hard Working Women<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';">I pried myself out of bed this morning on such a gloomy day. It's hard enough for me to get out of bed on a regular basis but especially on a dark cloudy rainy morning! (I'm kinda sorta not really a morning person! I cherish ever bit of sleep I get) But knowing that Wednesday I don't have class and I got to play with preschoolers all day I found it a little more easier to get up and going! I got to Miss Elisabeth's (Just realized people spell Elisabeth with a "s" weird, I'm Haley Elizabeth with a "z"!) classroom today and was welcomed with BBQ rib smiling faces saying Good Morning Miss Haley! AHH I love those little monsters. I was particularly excited to see a little boy Ryan back in class today. He had been taken out for a few days, needless to say he has very rough back ground and is in and out of school often. Ryan's personality is very sweet and gentle, over uses "uh essxuses me's" and is very complimentary, "Miss Haley you smell sweet today." </span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';">Ryan Story (I may have more of these to come): </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';">At the end of nap time today, which is my personal favorite because I get to lay by the kids, rest my eyes and pat their backs, Ryan was suddenly awaken saying "uhh Miss Haley, Miss Vonnie I think I peed my pants and cot." He is very unshy about this, go figure! He then followed up with "I'm so so sorry I didn't mean to." Such a sweet sweet boy, Miss Haley was very happy to see "Esxcussse Me" back at school today! </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';">Moral of my post, I'm not a hard working women, I'm a hard PLAYING women!
