I LOVE my job. Well, I'm way underpaid and it uses a LOT of my patience, but the kids (my kids) are so worth it. Yesterday a little girl came up to show me how she had cut her finger. Everyone kept saying "Alecsyss cut her finger!" over and over again. So, I decided to teach them a new vocabulary word. I said "Yes, Alecsyss has a booboo." They all thought this was hilarious. And then they turned "look at her booboo's" to "look at her boobies." I'm not sure how this happened, but I just knew I was in trouble. I told them that boobies were not the same as a booboo's, and another little girl says "Yes, booboo's are when you hurt yourself and boobies...(looking down at her chest) are those...(pointing to her chest)." I'm such a great teacher. Maybe next week we can start sex ed.
On another note, Todd is doing SO great with his accounting stuff! He has aced every test and I'm pretty sure he will get straight A's. According to him, going to BYU has made him into a maniac studier and has really helped put the edge in his test taking skills. Problem: I also went to BYU and am doing the exact same (which is good, but I'm not getting a hundred percent on my tests like he is). Maybe I just never get pushed enough to learn to do better? Or maybe my major of Child Development just doesn't require a lot of brains and I get lazy. Either way, I'm glad Todd is doing good.
Ask Todd if you don't believe me. Really. Last weekend we went over to some friends to play an innocent game of Hearts, and I don't think I talked to Todd until the next afternoon. We were not the only couple fighting either. The other couples gave their fairshair of dirtly looks and not-so-innocent gestures. I think I was the only one to get really, really, REALLY mad...as in telling Todd that I didn't care that he won that round, I was going to take the cards I would have won if he hadn't screwed me over. (Okay, I said this a little meaner and a LOT louder than you just read it) I guess it just gets way to personal. So next time we play cards we decided we have to be on the same team...or we might be the first couple to get divorced over a game of Hearts. Chrissy and Cate, I'm tagging you to hear a story about Mike and Matt getting mad over something equally stupid.
This semester I'm taking this Eternal Marriage class. It's pretty fun and really easy which is exactly what I look for in a religion class. Anyway, for our midterm we have a few options and one of them is to read a book. I opted for this one because I just don't want to rely on my non-existing creative skills. I'll leave that up to Chrissy who makes my scrap booking look like I'm four. Plus, when Todd and I got married a TON of people gave us books I could use. So, last Thursday before class I grabbed one off our book shelf to bring to show my teacher because we have to get it approved. I thought I picked a really good one. The title is "Between Husband and Wife." Perfect. On my way up to hand it to the teacher I read the small print under the title "Gospel Perspectives on Martial Intimacy." To late to turn back now, I handed it to my teacher red faced. He approved with a little chuckle saying it was a wonderful choice. This is going to be a such a great paper. I'll post what I learn. :)
For my mother, and because I feel a little bad about downing homemaking so much, I'm going to list five wonderful things about being a stay-at-home-mommy. And I want to be one someday so I feel like I have given the wrong impression. 1) you don't have to go to school2) you get to watch your children grow up3) you don't have to work4) you have a clean house5) you eat real meals because you have time to cook themStress turns me into a real witch, and I'm blaming that on the last post.
