So yesterday I took Izzy to school and I normally back my suburban into a spot close to the school. I have done that for the past three years… The bus was in the way so I just parked behind the bus to take Izzy in. This is the drop off spot for her class. Anyway, I took her in and then came out and noticed the second bus was behind me so I rushed to my car and got in to pull out as fast as possible for the bus. Before I could even get my car out of park the bus behind me whipped around the side of my car really freakishly close and pinned me in behind the first bus. I knew it was deliberate. It was very obvious. I decided not to get uptight about it and just relax and wait for the bus to unload. No big deal. After that bus left the first bus driver came running out of her bus and yelling, “don’t leave.” I thought she was going to gripe at me for parking there and I knew I was right to be parked there. Anyway, she came to my window and looked like she was about to cry and said that she saw what the bus did and knew it was deliberate. She said she was so upset that that bus had pinned me in and that I was supposed to be there to let my daughter go into school. She wrote down the bus supervisor’s number and the bus number that had pinned me in. She said she was planning to complain and wanted me to as well. I haven’t yet. I kinda decided to let it go… what do you think I should do? Complain or let it go?

So, onto another subject… today I went with Amanda to shop for some things for Lorenzo. Don’t you know it’s their six month anniversary of going out together? Apparently this is HUGE! Anyway, we were coming out of Walmart and the lady who stands at the door and says, “welcome to walmart.” was there and Amanda had on sandals that had heels and I had on flip flops that were flat, making us about the same height. So the lady said, “Are you girls identical twins?” We just smiled and I said, “no. Mother and daughter.” So she said, “Who is the mother and who is the daughter?” Again, I laughed a little and said, “I’m the mom.” Her jaw dropped. It was hilarious. HELLO! Anyway she went on and on about how she could not believe I was the mother and wanted to know what my secret was. I’m not sure Amanda enjoyed this encounter at all, it was a little awkward… but who doesn’t like to be told they look young? Is the lady senile? Probably. I don’t care. I’ll take it anyway.

Last but not least I finally found a trampoline today to replace ours that was destroyed in the ice storm. Our Sam’s club has been out of them and has 14 on order forever so while Matt, Emelia, and I were across town we zipped into the Sam’s there and they had two. Bailey was very excited! It’s square and has the enclosure with it. I hope we get it assembled tomorrow.

Amanda should be home anytime and then I’m headed to dreamland! Goodnight!

Looking for that perfect pair of new shoes for the Summer upcoming season? I have been out shopping for new sandals and there are so many fun styles to choose from! There is a really fun online shoe site called Infinity Shoes. They have tons of styles and brands to choose from. Have you ever heard of tsubo shoes? Tsubo does a great job of combining young fashion and comfort. In Japanese “Tsubo” means pressure point. Innovative and functional, they use double density poltrethane foot beds to be both firm and soft in the right places. How about seychelles shoes? Seychelles is a California shoe brand which specializes in a vintage, young and retro style. They cater to women with an independent edge. Seychelles uses quality leathers and pays close attention to detail while maintaining an affordable price. They have a lot of cute styles to choose from that would make a great gift for a birthday or maybe mother’s day which is coming up very shortly. They also have minnetonka boots. As moccasins were first worn by Native Americans it’s safe to say that Minnetonka represents America’s 1st footwear. Building upon this history, they have continued the tradition of creating casual and leisurely footwear to be worn all year-round.

Describe your sleeping habits. I sleep any chance I get. I fall asleep when my head hits the pillow and sleep until I absolutely have to get up and get busy! I love to sleep.

1.  Matt worked really late Monday and Tuesday nights.  He also worked late Wednesday night, but not until after midnight… as a result I am having trouble not yawning today.

2.  Izzy’s IEP was Tuesday.  I wrote about it on her blog.

3.  Amanda got a new job!  It’s very exciting… closer to home and a lot more fun.

4.  I have lost 18 pounds now.  Very exciting to see results.

5.  Today is take your kid to work day at Emelia’s school.  Since I work at home (which is boring to her) and Matt works for AT&T and cannot have her in his work vehicle, she is with mom today at the Oklahoma National Guard.

6.  I thought there was so much going on, but I’m running out of thoughts…

7.  Melody needs her hair cut and highlights… we may do that tomorrow.

8.  It’s almost time to get Izzy ready for school!

9.  Amanda and Lorenzo celebrated six months together this week.  He brought her 6 beautiful red roses (and a bear) on the day of the actual anniversary.

10.  My breakfast has been the same everyday for a couple of weeks… 1 egg plus one eggwhite scrambled with a pinch of parm cheese, 2 slices of ww toast with a tiny bit of grape jelly.

11.  I usually skip lunch.

12.  I am drinking cokes again, mainly from Sonic everyday because they are half priced from 2-4 p.m. So my large cherry coke with extra ice is .86 with tax.

13.  It bothers me that they put a real cherry in my coke for two reasons:  They touch that cherry with the hands that take money, and I hate fruit including cherries.  But, it seems really wordy to say into the little box, “I need a large cherry coke with extra ice and no real cherry.”  But I do anyway…  weird huh?
