One Word Resolution

I found this great linky.  

ONE WORD RESOLUTIONS!

Primary Powers you ROCK.  I'm Linking up!  

My ONE WORD RESOLUTION IS...


MOM!
 Resolutions can be so cheesy.
 Not this year.
Not for me.

2015 is a special year for me.  
Not in an awesome, amazing type of way.

In a meaningful and honorable way.

2015 will be the 5th anniversary that I lost my mom.
So... this year I want to honor her throughout the year.  
She is always my inspiration.  
 I have many plans, we will see what transpires.  

I will keep you posted but I will tell you that I ran 3.5 miles today and I hope that is just the start. 
 All for mom, always.

XOXO thanks for listening.

Until Next Time LOVIES.

One WEEK to go!

So...
  I am not sure where you are at with Christmas Shopping but I will tell you I am in TROUBLE!  I think there is like 12 days until Christmas.
Ai Yi Yi!

I am TOO scared to look at the calendar.

Can I even order online anymore?

Well, I will tell you that you CAN still order online  buuuut I will warn you
(I'm married to a UPS Driver) 
and I better hide if he sees more packages, 
especially coming to OUR house. 

Next problem.
In order to shop, 
I have to have ideas and I have NONE!

I don't know what it is, 
maybe it's because I have 2 high school BOYS 
or the fact that there has been no SNOW here in Indiana 
and I am just not in the spirit yet? 
 IDK  buuuut 
I betta get my act together.

If you have any ideas for a 16 or 14 boy?  Or a dad without any real hobbies except working on the lawn? 
 Drop me a line? 
Throw me a bone?  
Just HELP me, please.

Thanks for listening everyone.

Oh, and don't forget about the

For REAL I copied these for you.

1.  "his willingness to try new things has not yet been mastered?"- remember it's November?
2.  "does he seem to be forming social bonds well or is he worried about his comparative performance?" - Oh Lord...REALLY it's kindergarten. Maybe you are a little dramatic?

I hope I just get through the week.

TWO DAYS.  That's all.
Two LONG DAYS.

Monday and Tuesday I have Conferences from 2:30-8:00pm after a 1:30 dismissal.

I have 2 15-minute breaks.  One on each day.

Do you believe in bad luck?

I do don't believe in bad luck. 

Let me rephrase that.  
I do not want to believe in bad luck.

But it seems that a black cloud is following me.  
Ever since this past Thursday.

This is what has happened. 
All in this order.

Rewind.

Last Thursday, my daughter and I are out hustling and bustling trying to get last minute Halloween items for our costumes after school.  

She tells me that she hurt her finger at recess but doesn't say too much.  
I don't really ask.- I know great mom award, right? 

Let me preface this with... 
My girl is MADE out OF STEEL.  

I don't ask, because I don't need to. 
She'd tell me if she was hurt. 

Well, two hours into our trip she says that it does really hurt. I ask her if we need to go to urgent care before or after sushi.  

See, she really loves Sushi and if she was really hurt she'd say before otherwise, we'd go eat.
 So, Sushi is my Hurt-o-Meter.
Again, I know- Mom of the year.

Yep, turned the car and we went to urgent care.  
And yes, we have a chipped bone.
Black cloud=1       Me=0


Brings me to Friday,-Halloween. Ai Yi Yi!

My daughter is bummed because last time she checked a witch doesn't have a broken finger.  
Point taken.

The madness that only kindergarten brings BEGINS...

 I am dripping in flop sweat after an hour long party that felt like three days, 
popcorn covers my floor, 
icing dripped cookies cover my tables, 
and now it's lunch.  

Thank the LORD.
10 minutes of quiet.  Only 10 minutes you ask?
Why?
Oh, it's raining.
which means indoor recess, 
which means the kids eat in our classroom,
which means ZERO lunch time.

PHEW! I am outta breath!

Black CLOUD= 2  Me=0

I check my phone. 
The orthopedic called when I was knee deep in Monster Mash!

I check the message literally at 12:05.
They want me + my daughter at the orthopedic at 1:00?

Can I make it?
yep!

FLASH>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I'm gone.
Sub takes over.  

Again, confirms chipped bone.

Ok black cloud BRING IT!
Don't worry he does.

I get home to pass out candy.

I place my adorable Macbook Pro in the kitchen to charge. 
Her name is Priscilla.  - Because she's pink.
Priscilla the PINK Pro- Adorbs right?

Well, I thought I'd better make a good dinner. 
So... I turn on the oven.

The oven is on the same circuit as my Macbook.
Do you see it coming?

ZAAAAPPPP>>>>>

Burned up my Macbook Charger.

Black Cloud= 3 Me=0

Saturday...
Remember that new bathroom that I put in TWO months ago?

Well guess what?  I found a pile of water in the basement right under it.

A leak,  URGH!!!

Oh, good Lord!

Black Cloud= 4  Me=0

Sunday:

Black Cloud's day off.

Monday Morning...

I was SO happy to wake up a bit later on Sunday that it didn't feel so bad to see 5am this morning.

I get dressed, make coffee.

Hubs walks into the kitchen holding his cheek, 
almost in tears.

????

Excruciating pain.

Which leads me to have to call off work.

I.HATE.WRITING.SUB.PLANS!!!!!

Especially at 6am.

But, anything for the hubby.

Oh, he had an emergency wisdom tooth extraction.
Yuck!

Black Cloud=5  Me=0  Hubby+Tooth= -4

We come back from the surgeon this afternoon.  

I place hubs on the couch.

I sit in my oh so comfy chair..
 I want to write a blog post.  Maybe one of those amazingly teachable kinds??

NO INTERNET!

BLACK CLOUD???  6??  whaaaaat???

Really?  This has to be a cruel joke?

Do I need to look out the window for the cloud?
Do I need to purchase a rabbit's foot?

What????????? is going on?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Which brings me to tonight.  
I am wrapping this night up fast.

I am going to say my prayers and go to bed.

I want to say that I don't believe in bad luck but 
come on???

This is ridiculous.

Oh, I obviously got the internet working again.

After wasting 25 minutes of my life on hold with Comcast.

Until next time lovies.

Thanks for staying with me for the longest post ever.
