A little late is better than never...

Good EVENING??? Lovelies!!!! I was on facebook last night and a friend of mine said that she felt so guilty because everything was happening all at once and she couldn't give 100% to all of the things in her life... She put it so clearly!!! How we beat ourselves up because we aren't making dinner while cleaning the house, walking the dog, changing the sheets, doing the laundry, corresponding with friends, making love to our husbands, and rocking it out on our careers..... Is it just women who feel this way?? I don't know.. but I look at my dirty floor, my unwalked dogs, my pizza delivery box, and my coffee maker that needs to be cleaned and I DO feel guilty!!!!! Shoot... I feel guilty if I watch "House Hunters" and my house doesn't look like the "after"..... Getting a guilt trip from a damn episode of "House Hunters"??!! Girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrllllllllllllll... you know I need to go to bed!!!!

Where is the LOVE???

Its on my skirt!! and boy... I'll tell you... Its hard to find anywhere else.... this separation with my hubsband is VERY HARD!! I dont' know what is going to happen... I don't know how its all going to turn out... I am tired.... I'm sick... I have conferences all week.... I'm a mess!!!!  I seriously need Calgon to take me away!!!!

A Halloween with no recess.... FRIGHTENING!!!!

Happy Halloween LOVELIES!!!! it is a RAINY one here... so my little monsters in first grade have to have indoor recess... is there anything more frightening than 23 hyper 6-7 year olds and no outlet to let it out??? I don't think so!!!! I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Halloween... scary, spooky, and dark!!!

What I wore Wednesday...

Girrrrrrrrrrrrrrllllllllllllll... this is a pretty Godawful picture of me... thats ok.. it matches how I feel... crappy... Parent teacher conferences, Halloween, weather, report cards, ughghghghghhhh!!! but I made it for What I Wore Wednesday over at thepleatedpoppy.com and tuckerup.blogspot.com... even with my aches and pains and congestion...

Good Morning Lovlies!!! It is a COLD day here in Illinois today!!! Almost needed the ice scraper!!! Today's post is for all my girls out there.... the gals that are in my life are having it ROUGH this month.. Just when you think your problems are the only problems that exist in the world people open up to you and tell you that that is not the case...One woman in my life is in rehab little beknownst to me or anyone else who knew her... another woman is contemplating quitting her job because the stress is so bad, another woman uninvited yours truly to Christmas because I only text... the drama!!! So I'm sending love out to all of my girls out there... women STRESS OUT alot... but we are wonderful creatures as we have the ability to commiserate and heal one another with our words.. Just when I thought NOONE could possibly have it worse than me, I find out I'm not the center of the universe.. huh....

I'm a pillar you're a pillar.. wouldn't you like to be a pillar too??

Hey y'all.. here is me.. along with our superintendent and our librarian.. our school got recognized for having the highest isat scores in the district in reading and math!! Now.. what do you get for this? a pillar pin... I, along with the entire staff of my school are pillars... whats a pillar you ask? Heck if I know.. but you can bet your butt I'll brag about it left right sideways and upside down...

"Uhhhhhhh... excuuuuuuuuuuse me... but I'm a pillar... so I'll need to step to the front of the line...

yeah.. I' m a pillar.. so I wont' be doing the dishes anymore...

excuuuuuuuuuuuse me... but I'm a pillar..... so.. yeah... you might want to just give me that raise... thaaaaaaaannnks!!!!"

Good Morning Lovelies!!! It is a cold blustery day here in Illinois... I had a very emotional weekend... Friday the hubs and I went out to dinner.. it started with an annoyance of him being on the phone and then a full on fight and then some breakthroughs.. all at the Superossa!!! The people next to us must have been like, " These two whack jobs need a marriage counselor!!"... Some revelations were uncovered... I told him whenever he leaves he acts like hes so happy to leave and when hes there hes going on and on about how great everything is and in my mind I'm taking it as hes happy to be away from ME.. he said, no.. he gets depressed when  hes away but he doesn't share that with me because he doesn't want me to know how miserable he can get... I'm like, " I NEED to know how miserable you are!!" ( I know this sounds bad... but you know misery loves company).. I told him I needed to hear that he was sad to be away from us or I think hes just happy happy joy joy to be gone... its the perception in my head... So we made a breakthrough there... some other breakthrough about how we need to see each other and needed to start skyping and how we need to spend family time together so we can ALL connect... its easy to just go off to another room, and we need to make a genuine effort to keep connected to one another... We are a family and we always will be... These three people, Jack, Casey, and Chris are the Pooka Pooka Pooka this blog is named after... they are the most important things to me and always will be...

Have a WONDERFUL day my friends!!!!!
