The Verdict

Well it looks like I am going to drive to Ohio. Sophie needs to go see her docs at childrens and we will be there for almost 10 days. I would be to afraid to confidently pass Sophie off as a lap child. If anyone is going to get caught breaking a rule it would be me, hence the reasons why I tend to follow the rules ( most of the time:) I am going to be spreading the Sophie and Maryellen love around and will be staying with her and her and her for a few nights. And we are hoping to catch up with these two chicks and this sweet waiting mom! I am so happy that I have a bunch of girlfriends to visit in Ohio! It will be lots of fun to see everyone. I am looking forward to cooking some yummy Indonesian food with Sandra and getting to meet the latest bloggin' mama baby...known by all that love her cute smile as chicken wing. But the fun will all start on June 9th when this INSANE friend arrives in NC and then drive with me and Sophie to OHIO. This is an 8+ hour drive.......I wonder what the payback for this kind of favor is going to be???

Gaaaaw I hope it isn't a body part!!!


You know I love you man!

I'M ALIVE!

Well at the very least hanging in there! I have a lingering cough so I am off to see the doc tomorrow after work. It kinda makes it hard to teach when I sound like I am about to hack up a lung!

Hey here is a question for you I am planning on traveling to Ohio this summer with Sophie. I have been checking flights because the fear of driving with Sophie for 8 hours is starting to set in:) Anywhoo.....I tend to be a rule follower. I know shocking. Sophie is a squirt. Should I try to pass her off as a "lap child"??? Or just suck it up and load up the car and go??? I am not sure if buying 2 tickets will be worth it......8 hours in the car or a chunk of change to fly....hmmmmm

So what do ya think??

Hey Krista I could put up a chip in button to pay for a seat for Sophie..... *snort*

sick

I am sooo sick....again. I get better, then slammed again with yet another cold. I actually took a sick day for being sick! I think I have the flu. I ache all over. My head. My back. Oh, and just for fun lets have "aunt flo" come for her monthly visit. sucks. I mocked my husband for being a nut about getting a flu shot. I guess next year I will find the time to get a flu shot. Did I tell you that I ache all over???? I am going to bed. I hope I feel better tomorrow.....

Number 2 Pencils

***Update: Took my test. It sucked. Test administrators started two hour late! Did I say it sucked?? It will be a stinkin miracle if I passed. Good thing I like special education land.***


I am taking the general education praxis tomorrow. I have not really studied. I am a special education teacher and in a moment of frustration registered to take the GE praxis....what was I thinking???? Tomorrow bright and early (7:30a.m.) I will begin the FIRST of the two hour tests that I will be taking....seriously what was I thinking???? I am not sure if I will ever teach in a general ed classroom as the GE teacher. I love my sped kids...most of the time:) Crap. I don't want to take four hours of tests on a Saturday, especially after having to work LAST Saturday. Did I mention that it is cold and rainy and a really good weekend to get stuff done around the house and hang out with my kids. Never mind that I don't even think I will pass it anyway...crap what was I thinking!?!?!?!?

You Can Be Hot Like ME!

I know I can't believe I am letting my secret to hottness out but here it is:) For less than driving through you local beer barn on a Saturday night you can help feed children at the Fu Yang Orphanage. Pretty easy really. Click on the Mifan Mommy button and commit to $9.00 a month for the next 24 months. It is really that easy .........to be hot like me:)

FYI

Just in case you wondering....

• Two year olds DO NOT like to spring forward....that is all I'm sayin'
• Apparently neither do twelve year olds, fourteen year olds, or well anyone living in my house.
• Ben is registering for classes for HIGH SCHOOL....someone please stop the madness.
• It was 80 degrees here today:)
• It is going to be 40 degrees on Friday....WTF????
• My eldest daughter is a force to reckoned with.....she makes me proud!

On a much more serious note my dear secret pal is in China now. She was to meet her darling Minyun today, but received very bad news. Please pray for comfort and care for this little girl and for comfort for this family who have waited so very long to have a daughter. Yes, they will not leave China without a daughter, but they will mourn the loss of Minyun because like many of us they fell in love and became a mommy and daddy as soon as they saw her beautiful face.

Happy San Ba

Seriously funny, you have to watch this video....and the others if you have time! March 8th is a holiday in China that celebrates women. Watch the video, first her mandarin is impressive.....well not that I would know but she sure does sound pretty freakin' good! The woman in the yellow jacket is hysterical!
