DON"T FORGET TO ENTER MY
SKOY CLOTH GIVEAWAY!!!!

I Cried...... A Little! TWICE

My mom called me last night asking if I had seen this video yet and I had no clue what she was talking about! So i googled Susan Boil and this is what I saw.... It is an amazing clip from Britian's Got Talent and something that I don't think anyone expected.... It teaches you that you should never judge someone by their appearance.. I try and instill that in my kids all of the time! I think Simon Cowell got a little taste of this the other night.

So... What did you think?

The first time i watched it by myself and i cried.. then i showed it to Brian and I cried again.... I don't even know why, lol!?

The Most Awesome Video

It is sooooo worth taking the time to watch this video.. Check it out!!

This video will show you some of the best close calls...this proves that timing is EVERYTHING!!

Tell me what you think!

A good laugh

I know this is a little classless but it gave me a GREAT laugh after a hard day yesterday I had to share it with you!!

How Excited Am I?

So... How excited am I that I got my first paycheck direct deposited straight into my bank account last night while I was sleeping? My answer...... Soooo excited!!!

Hallelujah!!!!!!

I knew I left my old job for a good, no GREAT reason.. And that's right ladies and gentleman.. The new job showed me the money, lol... I knew that going in early and staying late would make me feel great at some point during this new adventure I've been on lately!!!

And ya know what's even better(well not even better, but just as good)? I love the job!! You probably getting sick on me saying this and I promise I'll stop.... SOON!!! lol... But I LOVE the job!! I love the kids, the people I work with, the atmosphere!! I love it all.. And I don't mind going in early!! But the paychecks definately are a great added bonus...

I am happy I made the right choice. Like anyone, as you enter a new phase in your life and start something new change can be hard, very hard! And it can either go in 2 directions - bad or good! You will ask ytourself am I making the right choice, will it be ok, will I be happy, will I be liked, will I like it, will I make it? Thankfully my story has had a great ending.... so far!! If I could give you advice, any of you that may be looking to begin a new job or change something major in your life I would say to take that leap and make sure you jump high; cause if you don't. You'll always be wondering what if!! And I think the "what if" is the worst of all!!!

Donnie The Doberman Dog Genius

My mom was telling me about this amazing Doberman that she saw on the Discovery Channel the other day. I was in shock when i saw the video!! It was seriously so cool....

Donnie is a five year old rescued Doberman.

No one knew anything about Donnie's past except for the fact that he was found living on the street eating out of the garbage can. After his new owner adopted him It took Donnie several months to get used to doorways and going up and down the stairs. After about six months he got accustomed to his new home, and even let his new owner put her arm around him without getting scared.

Donnie's owner was very, very good to him and bought him tons of stuffed animals to play with. Soon after she noticed that Donnie started arranging his toys in patterns in their big backyard - triangles, circles, parallel lines…. and in many cases grouping them together - all frogs, all monkeys, etc.... Either all of the toys were face up in the arrangements, or all face down. He would even go as far as making sure they were touching or holding hands in a lot of his designs.

Here Donnie arranged his animals to make a perfect triangle!

And this is what Donnie did the day after he let his owner put her arm around him for the 1st time since adopting him!

Donnie's owner knew there was something to all of this so she contacted many doctors.. Finally, Barbara Smuts, a psychology professor at the University of Michigan who studies social behavior in canines listened. Of course Dr. Smuts assumed that the owner was either helping Donnie or was crazy. Smuts finally flew out to see Donnie and at first couldn’t believe her eyes, especially after setting up hidden cameras and watching from indoors so as not to cause any distraction.

Still think it sounds a little crazy - take a look for yourself!! It's pretty interesting! Donnie is sooo cute!! I am so happy he's found a good home!

Another Reason Why i want a Bulldog

People Falling

I don't know if I ever mentioned this before I find it sooo funny when someone falls!! I guess it's out of nervousness!! But someone falls and I laugh! In high school one of my teachers sat on her chair and the chair broke - I think I laughed for the entire day! I laughed so much I had to excuse myself from class while she was on the floor in pain, lol.. and to boot she was a "Nun!" I know, I know not the classiest move, LOL...

But anyway I saw this video almost a year ago. I'm sure some of you have seen this.... But check it out - I'd be soooo mad if something like this happened to me! Wouldn't You???

Kids Say The Darndest Thing

I'm on a roll this week with the kids comments.. I found this video and thought it was hilarious!! Watch what he says at the end..

Oh Fudge!

Awhile back I put up a post called ** This Keeps Me Going** check it out if you haven't already read it!

Most of you know by now that I am a kindergarten teacher! And we all know kids say the darndest things, right?

The other day in school I was giving my students there 1st math test. Sounds simple right? Since this was the 1st test I had given them and probably the 1st test for most of them ever I went over proper test taking rules!! Ya know, like no talking during the test - no trying to look at your friends paper(eventhough I split them up), raise your hand if you have a question, etc.... Just went over the basics!

So I start reading the questions and after I read the 1st question on of my kids starts quitely singing something about being "sexy." I brushed it off and told him to be quite... A few seconds later again and now louder he said something about someone being "sexy." So I stopped the test and told him that "sexy" was an inappropriate word for him to be using and to stop! Now all of the kids start in saying that "sexy" is a bad word, and that their moms say "sexy" is soooo bad, etc.... As I am quiting down my class I noticed that the child was getting a little upset and angry that the other kids kept telling him "sexy" was a bad word. As he proceeds to tell them that "sexy" isn't a bad word, but that "fu*k" is a bad word!! I almost died - it was sooooo funny!! I slapped my hands over my mouth as another child looked at me and said, "he's in trouble now!"

I had to do pull him out of class and talk to him about never, ever saying that word! He cried and begged me not to tell his mother! LOL.. I sent him to get a drink of water to calm down... He came back into the classroom and we proceeded to finish the test! Afterwards, he said to me, "you want to hear a funny word?" I said no and that I thought he said enough for the day!!!

This reminded me of the movie The Christmas Story! I loved that movie!!

Remember when Ralphie said: ffffffffudge when his Dad was changing the tire... Now you know the kid in my class felt like Ralphie for the rest of the day...Just waiting for me to tell his mother!! It was too funny...

Isn't This Cool?

I saw this and thought it was sooo cool!

I wanted to share it with all of you! It's the chair to end all chairs!

PS - I am recovering from the party! I will post pics and details later today or sometime tomorrow! I will say it was a blast!

If You Missed It!!!

If you missed the Best Race ever last night during the Olympics then check this out.. It was such a nail bitter.... Having swam my entire life from 4 years of age all the way through high school you could imagine how much of a Swimming Fan I am... I was on the edge of my seat.... take a look for yourself!

Jason Lezak, the oldest man on the U.S. swimming team, pulled off one of the great comebacks in Olympic history Monday, hitting the wall just ahead of France in the 400 freestyle relay, a race so fast it actually erased two world records.

Not So Wordless Wednesday

Here is my not so Wordless Wednesday...

HOME ALONE
This is pretty funny..... These people were always finding water all over their pool deck and furniture, every time they came home, after being away for a few hours. They thought the neighborhood kids were watching for them to leave, and using the pool. However, they could never catch them doing it. So, they set up their video cam and left. This is what they found out......
