ME: Jack sit here and watch Dora with Gracie, I'm gonna take a quick shower.
Jack: Why?
ME: Cause mommy stinks.
Jack: Did you poop in your pants mom????
P.S. Jack is finally potty trained!

Kids Day and Picture Day
I have been trying to go in and help in Mary's class once a week. Last week when I went in, her teacher was telling me about a tradition in her house called "KIDS DAY." Its similar to Mother's Day and Father's Day, but obviously its for the kdis. Now for "Kids Day" at her teachers house they announced that they were leaving that day for DisneyWorld. We started smaller than that. I told them about it, and let Mary plan the day.
Here is how it went.
1. Donuts for breakfast.
2. Get ready for Kids Museum.
3. Mary asks, "Since its kids day, can you please pretend to be Aunt Liz today?" I tell you no good deed goes unpunished!
4. Mary faces disappointment as I tell her I will be playing the part of myself ALL day!
5. Kid's Museum.
6. Drinks at McDonalds, Mary picks a redbox movie (Marmaduke).
7. Watch movie.
8. Kid's Night at Chic-Fila.
9. Movie night in bed.
All in all a pretty good day. We may do it again soon.
Then yesterday I took them to get pictures. The main goal was to get Gracie's 2nd bday pictures. But I have been around the block a few times at portrait innovations, so I got them all dressed. I was not going to be leaving without pictures of someone. It was the best picture taking outing in years! No hot flashes...and no moments of brakdown on my part!
We leave for Chicago on Friday!

Other Things I can't Post on Facebook
Here are some of the things that really bother me. Feel like I need to vent.
1. Teachers- most of you DO NOT deserve a raise! SO STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT IT! A teaching degree is easy to get, I know because I have one. You work less than 200 days a year. A large percentage of your cohorts are lazy and frankly not very good at what they do. Your job is important, I hope you do it well. But the truth is most of you do not. If you were evaluated on performance many of you would be fired. When the US starts pumping out educated, competitive students I will support your incessant cries for a raise!
2. The ability to procreate in large numbers is not a talent. If you had six kids at a time, its probably because you aren't making good decisions to begin with. I wish I had as much time to myself as Kate Gosselin.
3. When you tell me to "have a blessed day" it makes me want to punch you in the face! You are probably the same annoying indivisulas who think of those ridiculous messages on your churchs billboards like, "The Bible was the origianl text message!" Really?!?
4. I hope I am never a single mom. I imagine it is very difficult. I am not a single mom, but I still have my kids for all but maybe 1-2 of their waking hours. My husband is out of town all the time. And I have my kids EVERY weekend! You lot in life is hard-but shut up and deal with it, or if your kids are such a burden- turn them over to someone who wants them!
5.Gals- no one wants to hear about how you are trying to get pregnant. Some things are not meant to be shared. I don't care how often you ovulate, or what birth control method you have used in the past, or when your last period was. Tell me when you get pregnant and I will be genuinely happy for you, but until then-keep it to yourself!
