I want a pretty page

How do all of you make your pages look so cute? Mine is boring. HELP!

I guess I have a lot more to learn on here....

Oh Saturday

So I went shopping today. I didn't buy too much. A couple cute little outfits (I did my initial crazy shopping when we first found out it was a girl lol). I also treated myself to something because it has been a while since I bought something for myself. I collect Precious Moments fiurines and I bought one today. I rarely buy them for myself, I usually get them as gifts.

This one was cute. It was a little girl playing hopscotch...it's cute :)

John stopped by and he had McDonalds...ugh he knows Mickey D's fries are one of my two weaknesses (the other being ice cream). Even not being hungry I can eat them. Not good....because I am trying to lose about 15 pounds before the summer. I no longer fit in most of my jeans and it makes me sad.

About 5 years ago I was about 155 pounds...I went on a diet. I did calorie counting and portion control (highly recommended if anyone wants to lose weight). It was great. I actually did lose a lot....too much some said. Apparently I was too skinny...I didn't think so. We are see ourselves differently then others do though so maybe I was too skinny. I went down to 116 pounds.

I met my boyfriend and everything went bad. well, good some say. Gaining the weight meant I was happy with where I was. I didn;t care so much about againing weight...I was in love lol. well, now pants aren't fitting and I am almost 150 again. I don't thnk I'm fat, I am just not as thin as I would like to be. I am sure I can get there again....I need to find that will power thta I once had.

well, I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend!!!

Happy Friday!

The week is done! YAY!!! My day wsn't too bad today. I was annoyed because out of the 7 kids that I had, 4 of the parents weren't working today. That is my biggest pet peeve working at the daycare. People having off and leaving their kids all day. What is wrong with people? At least don't tell me you have off...let me assume you are working. UGH!!!

My throat hurts! I better not be getting anything serious. Sure, for the weekend right? On the upside it did keep me from smoking today. I know, I know, smoking is bad for me. I really am going to try and quit...it is hard though. When I was younger, I always heard my grandma and uncles saying how hard it was to quit...I thought "how hard can it be? just stop!". Turns out...it really is hard. I hope you don't like me less for this....smoking, that is...one of my flaws.

Tomorrow me and mom are going shopping...saturday is kind of our day. We shop and do lunch. I have been spending money because I am so excited me brother and his wife are having a girl. They have a son...he will be 2 in may...and the girl is due in June. I was sooooo excited to buy girl stuff. How bad am I? lol. Boy stuff is so boring though (no offense to those who love boy clothes shopping). I guess its the girly girl in me...pink and sparkly is my thing.

Well, I hope you all enjoy your saturday!

Holy Neglecting!

Oh my goodness, i am so sorry. I have totally neglected this thing and haven't written in over a week. I got lazy...I am sorry...I will stop slacking lol.

Thank you for all of the nice comments on my last post! They came out of nowhere because I have checked in and there weren't any and tonight there was 17. Out of the blue! LOL....thank you again!

This week at work wasn't so bad. It went pretty fast. There is so much drama there though, it is crazy. The worst are the two oldest people. They ar in their 50's and bicker and get petty like they are in highschool! I just can't! I go in, do what i have to do and leave.

This week at work also made me appreciate my love even more. Everyone does nothing but talk about their boyfriends or husbands and what "asses" they are and such. I am just thankful for what i have.

I like funny text messages and one of the girls I work with, Sheree, sends me funny ones from the other room. Especially when it sounds like I am having a rough day...believe me, you can hear it LOL.

Well, now that I see people have read this thing, I won't neglect it so much...I will check in tomorrow when I start my weekend!

Tomorrow is Humpday!

So today wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Usually tuesdays are just awful! I always look foward to wednesdays because they are easy! Tomorrow I am going to start "spring cleaning" in my classroom. Stuff is such a mess. I try and keep up but once in a while you have to scour the joint.

I just took a nice, steamy hot shower. It makes me feel so good after work. Now I am just hangin' out waiting for John to come over. John is my boyfriend of 3 and a half years. He is absolutely the best thing to ever happen to me. It is insane because before I met him, I got so bored with guys I was seeing so easily. With him, I could be with him all day, every day and be incredibly happy.

He is planning on proposing one of these days hopefully. We have talked about marriage and all theat jazz and we definately want to be together forever. I bet he has the damn ring and is making me wait...that's just the type of character he is. Also, we should have our own house within the year. I am so excited. I know it took me forever to "grow up" but I don't care. The wait was worth it...ya know, instead of rushing and moving in and getting married and blah blah blah.

Well, kids, I shall check in later.

St. Patrick's Day

It is very rare that I think this hard in the mornng but I think I have to prepare myself for my day. See, I work at a daycare and today is a holiday. Holidays, such as St. Patrick's Day are insane at dycares. Junk food and hyperness! AHHH! As if my Tuesdays aren't bad enough.

Yeah, Tuesdays are my crazy day....and St/ Patrick's Day had to fall on a Tuesday...GREAT! Although even if it were on a Wednesday (my easy day), my dumb boss would tell parents to bring the kids in for the party if it wasn't their assigned day.

I hate when she does that! So the kid misses out on a few chips and a cupcake. The rest of the day is the same as any other day. It is just snacktimthat is "special". I still do cirlcle time and projects/crafts. Really, they miss nothing. Did I already say that? Oh well....

Well, I am about to go and brave the little ones (I work with 2 and a half-3 and a half year olds). Wish me luck! Have a happy St. Patrick's Day!

What am I doing?

So my friend was talking about bloging and I read hers and became intrigued. Maybe I have things to say too!
Well, needless to say, I have no idea what I am getting myself into. I am not even sure if this will work or if anyone will read it. I hope at least someone reads it and enjoys it. I can be funny and serious. I have bad days and good. I can promise to try and keep things interesting.
As time progresses I most likely will get personal and into detail. I like detail. If you don't then maybe this isn't for you.
This is a trail run, I may have something more interesting tomorrow...check back :)
