wow, look at me go!

 3 posts in one weekend!! holy cannolis(sp???)!

I know.  i’m crazy!  anyway, dave has totally irritated me today. well when you’re him, it’s easy to do.  He wanted to claim one of the girls on his taxes this year.. the girls whom he has just this week finally provided some support for!  yeah.. ok.  his thing is he claimed a lot of deductions on his W2 (4 of them) and he’s worried about having to pay in.  Really though, not my problem!  In the future, when he is regularly supporting his children, i have no problem splitting the tax exemption by each of claiming one girl a year, but until then..  um…. NO!

I’ve been feeling kind of crappy since AF made her appearance on Friday.  I only made it to the gym Friday night.. and nothing for the last two days.  I’m trying to go every other day, with my goal being to make it there 3x per week.  I succeeded this week, so i can’t really get too down on myself about today.  I’m hoping to do that well this week.  I know i will.  (see ladies? confidence.. lol)

I really am loving lime wire though,  and i’m sad i haven’t been to the gym with my little pink iPod (maybe i’ll give it a name.. hmmmmm) so that i can enjoy them.  oh well, there is always tomorrow.  or wearing it around the house while i pick up and pack lunches later.. probably that will do.. I just bought a cute arm band thing-y off of ebay to use at the gym with it! woo-hoo can’t wait for it to arrive.  Yes, little things excite me.

I’ll also give you guys a few bullet points then it’s into the bathtub to ease some of my lovely achy-ness.  (man 30 feels like 60 today.. thanks AF!)

• I"m thinking of going to church on Sundays, but i’m not sure where to go.  I just want it to be something that my kids do you know?  so i have a few options to think about.
• i have a new teachers’ aide in my classroom. so far so good, i guess.  we’ll have to see how it all works out.  I think it’s going to be a good thing.
• School is becoming discouraging.  Partially the problem is the lack of effort i have been putting in to it lately.. so i’m going to fix that this week and hopefully at least i’ll feel better about my part in the whole thing, even if the students still aren’t working or putting forth any effort of their own.
• Dave actually paid 1/2 the babysitting and bought Paige’s pullups this week.. (she wears them at night ONLY.. but still Somebody help!!) will wonders never cease?
• I finally told my Dad that Charles lives with me.  – he said "amy i already figured that, i’m not stupid."  .. well ok then.
• oh and i told him he was black.  He was stunned to say the least.  He called my sister immediately and yelled at her for not giving him a heads-up so he wouldn’t appear shocked when i said something.  He did make it clear though that he doesn’t care really, was just surprised.  the whole thing was actually quite comical!
• My dad is visiting in a few weeks.  should be interesting.
• I still want a Wii, still have no money.

ok i was starting to really stretch for things to say, so i’m off for now. i’ve really enjoyed getting to write this weekend, hopefully this means that I’m back! and not still one of "those people" that hardly ever update..

we’ll see i guess..
