who knew babysitting children could be so fun?

i didnt do much of anything today..not much is new on the homefront either. nikki doesnt feel well, i dont feel well, and ash doesnt feel well. do you think it could be the fact that we slept in a tent outside in the rain while it was oh say like 36 degrees outside? quite possibly, yes. so basically nikki and myself sat around doing nothing but watching tv and did a little sprucing of the willage2. such is life.

i picked up the boys today from school only to have them ogle at my new cd player that i had to put in my car. thanks goodness for emergency funds...now it wasnt like i HAD to put one in but who wants to drive around with no tunes? it seems like everytime i turn around these days, one of my gadgets dies...(i.e. my cell phone..no fault of my own i assure you. it just dove right into my toilet i swear. and now my cd player in my car finally crapped the big one on me yesterday. it not only ate my cd that i shoved in it but it made this awful gargling noise. could it be the music that did it in? i vote yes! and anyone who has driven with me can probably second that. i mean come on..anyone who gets to listen to hilary duff and britney spears all the time....no wonder it decided to flake. but its not my fault that my friends are mostly below the age of 10.)

so we are driving down the road tonight(Zachary, Mackenzie, and myself) and i say, "Hey Mack, are you going to go trick-or-treating?" He replies, "No." So im all like, "why not?" and his reply, "Im just too ugly, im going to have to trick-or-treat over the phone!!!" bahahahahah....this kid cracks my shit up! someone has been telling him yo mama jokes far too often. and sadly i know the culprit, a mr zachary b.

so after my lovely night of babysitting, i got to visit my dear dear dearest friend leighann tonight. unfortunately it was not for an exciting purpose...just a lesson plan...sadly, nothing devious. so we finally decide on a topic for our lesson....teaching body parts to a 2nd grader. joy joy joy. unfortunately these days you cant teach a 2nd grader what a sphincter is, so we had to stick with the basic head, and shoulders, knees, and toes (knees and toes) routine. we got it done though. even though its in serious need of twirking, it shall get us by for tomorrows class.

well party peeps..it is time to retire for the evening. im going to be hoisting my lovely self out of bed here in oh say 4 and half hours with a SMILE ON MY FACE AND CERTAINLY A SONG IN MY HEART (i do love my mother for that one!!)
