Bouncy Boy

Recently, Thomas has started being able to use his bouncy seat.  Tonight, he was REALLY into it.  He loved being able to move and shake his legs and seemed to enjoy the bouncing A LOT!

Here is a little video of him having so much fun!  Hope this brightens up your night!

Midweek Confessions...

Linking up with E, Myself and I for

1.  Obviously, I must confess that it's no longer "midweek." 
2.  The fact that my blog header is driving me CRAZY.  I have spent WAY too much time tonight trying to get it figured out.
3.  We've had a rough sleep week around here, so I've maybe not been the best teacher this week.  Lots of, "Ok kids, now you're going to do independent work."  UGH... not so much fun!
4.  I have candy in my classroom for prizes and I CAN'T STOP eating it!  The Tootsie Rolls get me every time!
5.  I still watch Grey's Anatomy.  I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I can't stop.  Every season I say that I'm going to stop watching it... and I never do. 
6.  Even with gas prices as high as they are, I pulled the "My baby just fell asleep in the car, so I'm going to keep driving... even though I don't have anywhere to go" move tonight.  Poor Thomas REALLY needed a nap... so I drove for an extra 20 or so minutes.  BEST. MOM. EVER, huh?

I probably have WAY more I could confess, but it's 9:45 so I'm EXHAUSTED!  HAHA... not kidding.

Midweek Confessions

Well, for those of you who don't know, I did an internet fast for 3 weeks.  Our church was doing a fast, and since I couldn't give up food, Todd and I gave up the internet.  So that's where I have been... if you missed me... if not, oh well!

But now I am back and ready to confess some things....

So I've linked up to E, Myself and I for Midweek Confessions.

1.  Yesterday was my first day back to school since having Thomas.  We dropped him off at daycare for the first time yesterday morning and I didn't cry.  Throughout the day I was surprised to find I didn't miss him nearly as much as I expected... I am not sure if this is a bad thing or not.  To my credit, being a 3rd grade teacher does NOT give me a lot of time to sit around missing my baby!

2.  Since yesterday was my first day back, it was also my first day pumping at school.  I was so careful to not spill... but I didn't pay enough attention and I managed to overfill my bottles and leaked some pretty big spots on my pants!  UGH.  Luckily, it was jeans day, and I had dark jeans on... but still...

3.  I was so excited to go pick Thomas up from daycare yesterday.  I thought for sure he'd be excited to see me.... He was asleep.  And when he woke up he simply cried because he had been woken up.  :(  Not quite the excited reunion I was hoping for.

4.  My sweet neighbor, Emily, made me cookies for my first day back.  I had to force myself to not eat them ALL.  But I did manage to stop with one left! :)

5.  I am blogging from work... though technically before contract hours... but I still feel like a bit of a rebel!  HA... I'm so big and bad, huh?

6.  This is less of a confession and more a funny story... last night somehow I managed to lock the handle of my bathroom door and then closed it when I was OUTSIDE of it.  So after a middle of the night feeding, I went to use the bathroom and was LOCKED OUT!  We do not have push locks (which I know are easily opened with a coat hanger)... so I had to wake poor Todd up at almost 3 AM to try to get my door unlocked.  He did finally manage to do it... with a coat hanger! :)

7.  While the purpose of a fast is to spend the time you would have spent doing the thing you gave up praying or reading the Bible I am sad to say I simply found other junk (like games on my kindle or tv) to fill my time... but the good side is I did learn I could survive without being on facebook ALL THE TIME!

So there you have it... my confessions.  Enjoy your day!
