Somedays...

Somedays you're the windshield and somedays you're the bug.

Today, I was the bug.

The margaritas I had when I finally got home made it a little better though. Now, I'm going to bed so I can get up and try again tomorrow.

Well, at least I'm funny...

I know I'm not super model beautiful and even though I have bad hair days and "I don't feel like wearing make-up" days; I still feel like I'm normal people pretty. I mean, I probably won't cause traffic to stand still because everyone is watching me cross the street, but I'm also not the ugly lady that scares children on Halloween.

As a Kindergarten teacher, I've got this idea in my head that as my students grow up and think back on their school years they will remember me a being pretty and funny and having a great singing voice. I realize that I can't sing, but they're five and have no problem with the way I sing "Mother Gooney Bird". So, why shouldn't they remember me as being a great singer?

Today, I'm sitting on the playground when one of my former students and big brother of one of my current students comes over. He hugged me and we talked quickly before he gave me another hug and headed off for class.

As he walked away, one of my shy girls who had come over to hear what we were talking about stood there staring at me for a minute before she asked, "Why was he looking at you like you're pretty?"

I pretended to be offended by her question and answered, "Because, I am pretty!"

She stood there and with absolutely no change in her expression said, "You're funny." Then she walked off to play again.

I laughed! I laughed until I started thinking about just how long it has been since I've had trick or treaters come to my door for Halloween.

OMG! Maybe I am the scary Halloween lady!

Cute guys, elevators and me...

Download wordart here


My Friday morning started when I followed two cute guys out to the parking garage. One was in his nice business suit and the other was in his doctor scrubs. They held the elevator for me so I had to get on with them. Business Suit Guy pushes the button for the third level and Doctor Scrubs Guy pushes the button for the fourth level. I laughed and pushed the button for the fifth level.

As soon as the elevator door closed I remembered that I was actually parked on the third level. I didn't want to admit that I had pushed the wrong button so I just stood and told each guy to have a nice day as he exited the elevator and I rode up to the fifth level. After getting off the elevator I took the stairs back down to the third level to get to my car.

I should have just taken the stairs like I always do. I have a history of embarrassing myself when I'm on an elevator with a cute guy. I should have known I was doomed getting on with two cuties!
