I'm tired, so what?!?

School has been wearing me out...more so than usual. Thus, I've been falling asleep every night at like 9:00, which is really early for me. My husband thinks this is a good reason to constantly make fun of me. He doesn't realize that a lot of normal people go to bed before midnight during the work week, and I'm really not all that weird.

Well, tonight (yes, it's a Friday night) I fell asleep on the couch at a record breaking 8:15 PM. Don't judge me, it's been a long week! So, he proceeded to get drunk...technically I guess he wasn't "drinking alone" because the dog and I were both passed out a couple feet away. Anyway, he thought it would be funny to video tape me sleeping.

Not nice.

And now, he has gone to 810 Zone to play with his brother and I have caught my second wind. I suppose I'll read my Gillian Flynn book about the girl who witnessed her brother brutally murder her mom and two sisters with an ax when she was seven. This is probably a bad choice of literature considering I'm alone in the house and it's 12:30 AM. But...I'm going to do it anyway.

Kids are funny

One of my 1st graders was sitting in his chair yesterday with his head tucked under his arm. When I asked him what he was doing, he said he was smelling his armpit. I asked him why and he said they smelled good. I gave him a questioning look and he told me he put on his mom's deodorant that morning.

Kids are funny.

My "yay" list

• The stretchy glue stuff on the back of new credit cards...I kinda want to apply for another credit card just so I can experience that wonderfulness of that stuff.
  
• Watching my dog try to roll over...HILARIOUS!
• Massages. I'm sure most people love massages. But I love them more. I really like to be touched.
  
• Bubble wrap...I have no self control when it comes to bubble wrap.
• Stuffed foods. Food just seems to be better when stuffed with something that's delicious and bad for you. Think about it....stuffed mushrooms, stuffed jalapenos, stuffed olives...
• Really, just food in general. I love it. A lot. I really should be a fat person...
  
• The movie "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"...if you don't think it's the funniest movie of all time, then we can't be friends.
• Jamocha shakes from Arby's.
• Black and white photography...I dig it.
• Getting places on time. This doesn't happen very often for me, so I'm always excited when it happens.
• Embarrassingly horrible reality TV shows (namely, Kendra, Keeping up with the Kardashians, & Denise Richards: It's Complicated)
• Eyeliner...I'm neither goth nor emo, but I always have to wear eyeliner. I think it's because I have a red freckle on my right eyelid that I feel I always need to cover up.
• Appreciative parents (not so much my own parents, but the parents of my students).
• Reese's Pieces...by far the best candy ever.
• Bottled water...the one thing I can say I'm high maintenance about. I just won't drink tap water. Eww.
• Happy hour with my coworkers. I work with fun people and I feel bad for people who don't.
• Hot air balloons. My husband still owes me a ride!
• Live sporting events. I really don't like to watch sports on TV...I just don't have the attention span for it. But I love going to baseball or football games. Probably because of the tailgating...
• Mario Kart on the Wii...I'm always Donkey Kong.
• Peeling James' back when he has a sunburn. He never lets me do it though. He says it's gross. What's gross is having all that dead skin just hanging out on your body.
  
• Board games...I'm convinced that James and I have more board games then pretty much anyone else we know. What can I say? We're fun people.
