**taken from carrie's blog**

yay phil!!

phil did NOT see his shadow today!!! wooo hooo.

blawgs

I think I'm going to stop reading the blogs that make me feel like I don't belong.
there are some out there that just make you feel like you suck! Or make you feel like they are clique-ish. Or they say something remotely funny and they don't have a response for you or make you feel like a loser! Or talk about the same 3 things all the time but spice up the posts to make it look different. Those blogs I took off my favorites list and I'm not going to visit any more. Those people that have 9million readers don't need to hear what I have to say anyway and really? It's just a waste of my time. And also?

there are also some really kick ass blogs too!! See my side panel for links!


have a happy Thursday!

a day in the life of Jenny at work....

last 5 minutes at work today with a very MENTAL child in our center.

....he told me no, i gave him a choice..he made the wrong choice by telling me no again...he went and got a "canadian watergun" (which was hilarious...it was a turkey baster *L*) and he sprayed it in my face...i got pissed, picked him up..carried his 8 year old 9493900493 pound ass down 3 hallways to the baby side of the building and all the way there he's hitting me and calling me fatass and telling me to go to hell and i said, you're 8...i'm strong, you're going...all the while he's kicking and punching me and spitting in my face. it was a pleasure to carry his nasty 8 year old ass down to the other side.

God bless that child. and God bless me for not losing my cool!

2 days..

i have some early resolutions. i want my whole apartment cleaned by tomorrow evening. i want to get rid of a lot of stuff. i want to find love in 2007...i'm hell bent on that...and not just anyone will do, and it's my turn! i want to be a better friend to myself, to learn that no matter what kind of flaws i have, they are easily fixed and that i'm worth more than i let myself believe. i'm going to go to the dentist and not be afraid. i'm going to try to quit smoking. that won't be easy and it might be last on my list.

that's a lot of stuff..think i can do it? not sure...we'll see. it was an interesting year 2006...i hope 2007 is better.

Happy Holidays!

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!

it's almost time!!!

Christmas is approaching which means new template is here!! i'm looking forward to starting my Christmas shopping this weekend!! i'm also looking forward to my vacation i get from work...december 24 until january 2!

i figured out what i'm getting for my best friend Casey and for my nephew Owen and i have the third annual Christmas party with my friends this sunday and i got there gifts done. the rest i don't know about.

the party this weekend...is on sunday at 4pm. we have a 10 dollar exchange. i got the girls sort of the same present. we're going to have crock pot lasagna thanks to a recipe i got off of our family site and maybe watch a movie.

anyway, off to work....have a good weekend!

Things i'm thankful for...

first snow...

hali at 5 months

she hung out here last night. she's going home in a little bit. what a sweetie.

so i've decided that it's too early to have a "merry Christmas" template on...so i have to find a better one, in the mean time, enjoy this one...

bring it on!!!!!

welcome :)

tomorrow.....

ok i'm better now. bday is tomorrow and i'm spending it with family. i'm excited to have my favorite meal of pinto beans, rice and cheese. mmmmmm. also...my niece and nephew are going to be there and i can't wait to see them. it'll be a great birthday! saturday night i'm going out with casey so that should be fun too.
looking forward to changing somethings about myself and working towards some goals.

i can almost smell the pinto beans cooking...........*drools

1 day until 32

so every time this year i always get a little sad about my birthday. i keep getting older and further away from what i had imagined my life to be like. so...pardon me for a while until the birthday passes and then i'll be on the track to christmas.

GREEN BAY PACKERS.......

here's a message for them. watch a philly game and copy what they are doing.

Kylin turns 2!!

today Kylin Rose turned 2. wow. 2 years since she was born already. where did the time go?!

Happy Birthday.....

Happy 2nd Birthday Kyla Baby!!

you are my sunshine.....

this is the cutest thing i've seen in a while. this little girl learned this song in english, a language she doesn't speak.

Let's go swimming, let's go swimming.....

i have to report that Herman the fly is no longer with us. *L*

so, i have to say that on occasion you find a couple of really good friends online and then some of them go off and have babies and they sort of adopt you as their kid's aunt. Well, i have one of the best little internet nieces!! She's turning 2 on Thursday. i think I've mentioned her before. When i was a nanny, i watched a little girl named kylin. Well this little girl was born the day before kylin and her mom named her kyla. We use to compare babies lol. Anyway, kyla's mom (Amanda) made a movie of her singing a Laurie berkner song (i LOVE Laurie... www.twotomatoes.com) (or www.noggin.com) and i think she is so freakin cute singing it (kyla, not Laurie haha) so go to www.bittersweetreality.net and check out kyla singing :)

that's all for now :)

Shake it like a Polaroid picture

So on top of my real job, i got a part time job working at sears portrait studio.
it's something I've wanted to learn how to do. And man am i learning. I'm learning that it's hard to remember crap! My training consists of 30 hours of watching a computer screen to learn about my job, on the job training (way to push me into showing pictures on my first day *L* smart) and then learning the camera. It's so much to learn but I'll learn it. it may take me 9 years to learn, but I'm not giving up. i think people are annoyed with my question asking but i need to learn.
i like it so far, i hope that continues.

Nothing in my life is really new. I like that the weather is cooler but I'm not looking forward to winter. Figure that one out. I have a new pet fly that I've named Herman. The cats love Herman. I, however, do not.

That's about all for now. Hope everyone is good!

Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

A MOTHER'S LOVE

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappointments
And calm all of our fears.

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.

There are times when only a Mother's faith
Can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.

For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith
And a Mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the Angels
And sent from God above.

My life, summarized

So, I have to tell you all about my new job. I had taken a job at a private day care right after my nanny position was done. Well, I worked there for 2 days. Each day I came home and cried. Each day I went to work and cried. It was not a good place for me to be. So I quit. Which was dumb on my part. REALLY dumb, but I couldn't take it. So I went to a place where my friend Michele is the assistant director. They had an opening in the pre-k room. After an interview and 4 days of waiting, they offered me the job. I started this past Wednesday. I'll be the lead teacher in the pre-k room. in my new class, I have 3 (THREE!!!) sets of IDENTICAL twins, 2 autistic children and a handful of "problem" children (a.d.d., home issues, etc). I've come home totally drained each day so far. But I LOVE it!! I'm looking forward to learning all about the kids, learning their names (haha) and being their teacher. Next week is my official start. The girl who was in there before, is moving to MN. Her last day was today. So Monday I start officially being the lead teacher in the class!! Next week is "at the theater" and we're going to go see red grammar on Tuesday. I have no clue who red grammar is. lol. I'll have to do some research. Anyway, I'm very tired and need to go to bed. So that's what's new with me....Hope all is well!
