why i threw my alarm out the window

i was NOT in a good mood when i woke up this morning. not that i normally am, but today was worse than usual.

and by the way, if you are one of those people who wakes up singing and in a good mood, i can never spend the night at your house. because if i do, and you start singing, i will not be responsible for my actions.

anyway, back to my bad mood. i was having this amazing dream where i was buying super cute shoes at 80% off. 80%!!!!!!! and guess what happened when i got ready to pay?

the alarm went off. i had to pray for control. you know the answer to this problem, right?

that's right-go shoe shopping.

so you know how fridays are supposed to be the best day of the week and mondays are supposed to be the worst?

i've noticed a trend in my weeks, and it's pretty much the opposite. this past friday was horrible...absolutely horrible. i know that some of it had to do with the fact that my kids didn't go out to recess for two days because it was so stinkin' cold. and added to that fact was that their library was canceled made for one crazy friday afternoon. but bad friday afternoons are becoming more the norm than the exception.

today, by comparison, was so smooth. my theory is that by friday, my kids are tired and therefore act out more. monday, not so much.

i'm beginning to like mondays way more than fridays. way more.

it's that time again

friday morning in our teacher meeting, i noticed a girl scout cookie order sheet going around. actually, i noticed it because all the teachers got excited....

"girl scout cookies!"
"i love girl scout cookies!"
"oooh, i'm getting some! are you finished with the sheet yet?"

during all the excitement, i was reminded of the fact that i still had thin mints, my absolute favorite, in my freezer. i bought 5 boxes of thin mints from diamond and still have a box left. did i mention that i bought these boxes 2 years ago? don't worry, they're still good. i checked. like 5 minutes ago.

so anyway, i bought a fresh box from this teacher's daughter. i figured it was time.

crab legs and a crazy table

kelli and i each received a red lobster gift card for christmas this year, so we decided to spend it on thursday night. my mom and sarah were so gracious to accompany us and offer us entertainment for the night. as it turns out, we didn't need it.

when we got there, kelli decided to be adventerous and order something she had never had before: a pound of crab legs. what followed was a hilarious night of kelli trying to figure out how to eat them and the rest of us laughing at her. my mom taught her how to crack the crab legs and then use the little fork to get the meat out and dip in the melted butter....THAT was my favorite part. what was not my favorite part was when sarah said that the cracker (i have no clue what it's actually called) looked like a toenail clipper. ewwwwwwww.

the infamous pound of crab legs


kelli likes them, sarah does not


i had the scrumptious shrimp scampi. yum yum!
