naked!

you think so many people(including myself) would be overweight if we had to walk around naked??? seriously, if we never knew clothes, so it wasnt indecent or anything, just no clothes. then we would be all out there. ya know, everybody seeing you for just who you are. clothes hide ALOT! thats another reason being pregnant is so fun, cuz you have a cute belly and its okay.

not so much after the baby gets here is that belly so cute anymore. i know its mostly me, but i have NEVER had this much trouble gettin back right. shopping is now only good if im looking for gym clothes, and even then...theres that muffin! you know, the belly fat that gathers above your pants and pooches out, again, not so cute. yet, i will still find myself occasionally hitting up krispie kreme or cold stone or even DQ??? why is that? so, im just gonna stop wearing clothes altogether and we shall see if that causes me to start eating less and making sure the gym is my friend 5 days a week????

early morning

gotta go to work in the morning...sucks! wish i could stay at home all the time. even if i have the chance to be home when my kids act out...jameer wont shut up about the xbox and how he asks to play every 5 seconds and when he does get to play, the tantrums he throws when hes told to get off or jayla whining cause she wants to hold you or her head hurts, or she needs medicine cuz her neck hurts(drama queen) or josslynn decides she wants to eat for the second time in 2 hours... kinda makes me wanna shove them all back up and be a happy preggo, cute, lil mamma again. i would still take those days over watching someone elses kids all day long. i see the juvies at work more than my own, and it never seems long enough or that i did enough with the two days off that i have. waking up at 4:30 kills ya, cuz even tho i get off at 2pm, i am so tired that i wanna nap the rest of the afternoon. no fair to the kids so, most of the time, i dont. but, once the kiddos are all in bed, jimmy wants to start a movie, which by this time, its around 9pm and i get elbowed at every 5-10 minutes cause im falling asleep. the other night i woke up in the middle of watching "the wire" and saw that jimmy had already turned it off and turned his game on. gave up on me already. so then i have him complaining that i cant ever stay up with him. i think, i have to propose a new situation that will solve everthing... ill stay at home! that way i will be able to stay up late with the hubby and nap with the kids during the day, keep up with the laundry and clean up on a daily rather than getting done what i can without being a zombie! i know this will never happen, but one can dream, no?

my girl cry

okay, so i made one of my girls cry today. NOT one of my own, but one at work. how are you 13 years old and do not know how to put your hair up in a pony tail, wrap the tail around and make it a bun??? are you serious?? my partner and i had tried to explain for at least 20 minutes before breakfast (making us late) and then again before class. this girl was so hilarious and did not understand what to do with her brush to make her hair go back. we arent allowed to put hands on the kids so we just had to do it all verbal...hard. i just kept laughing, but i talk loud so i think that me explaining over and over just got to her and she stood there at the busted mirror and started to cry. then i say again, are you serious??? crying cause you cant do your hair? im still not use to this kind of emotion, being that i worked with the 17 yr old boys for 4 years. big change. one of the other girls eventually got up to help explain and even asked if she could put gloves on and just do it for her. nope. if she didnt get it now and got help, then we would have to go through the same thing tomorrow and so forth. she ended up getting it done, but if she would have just listened the first time instead of spacin off, it would have been done right. these kids have a hard time listening and just doing things right the first time...but shoot, dont we all? maybe thats why i get frustrated with these lil girls cause i sometimes forget that i havent always been so perfect;)
