Why I am falling farther and farther behind in school....

we were able to have a photo shoot the other day with some really good friends, and i do think that the one behind the camera is a miracle worker bc
1. she got Russell to not look stoned in his picture.
2. she made korbin look photogenic.
3. she made me look some what decent :)
THANKS again:)
oh and korbin is talking non stop now--most of which is gibberish.. BUT his big boy words now include: doggy(first) ball, mom, da, ba ba (bottle) uhh..( more, up etc) be be (baby).... HE LOVES to dance music and sadly the boy has more rhythm than i do, we caught him bobbing along to 50 cent in the club the other night, he does the hand gestures and everything.... Reading is another one of is prime distractions! he will sit and look at a book for hours (makes it really nice for when i do decide to take a crack at the never ending pile o hw...)

greatful for neighbors, kitchen windows and ladders...lesson learned

so.... i being the total genius that i am... locked myself out of the house.. russell has my keys in Arkansas till next Thursday, and i have his- without any keys to the house. yes you can nag me now about having two sets of keys..
anyways in my early morning rush out the door htis morning at 7, i locked both the garage door AND the back door AND the front door... (normally we leave the garage door unlocked and shut the big garage door). so after i try all the ground level windows and saw that they were locked (all bc i watched csi last night) i was at a loss of what to do other than attempt to climb on the roof and try the windows upstairs...

THEN
my very prego neighbor saved the day by sharing her amazing talent of breaking into houses with cc cards... so while she attempted to cc her way in to my house through the front door, i remembered the kitchen window was most likely unlocked and grabbed her ladder and tried it from the back of the house.. my way won.. and i am sure it was quite the show for the nasty stinky ol neighbor who lives behind us (he was sitting on his porch smoking while i lifted myself up through the window (thank you swimmer arms:)
and now i am VERY proud to say my child is asleep INSIDE in his crib.. i win...
needless to say i am going to get a spare key

Let Me Clarify

You can tell when I have a paper (or two) to write bc i suddenly have a massive jump in the amount of blogs......
So i need to clarify my feelings about snow... In an earlier post i stated that snow needed to stay up in the mountains... well actually i am fine with it coming down to my level..but on two conditions...
1. when i wake up i have the chance to look out my window and see everything covered in gorgeous white (with out annoying footprints)
2. it melts and all evidence of the whiteness is gone by lunch time...
so with those ground rules stated..bing it on...

I love my job

two stories

1. tonight at work there was a lady who needed to buy two swimming suits...she had left her suit and her children's suits at home and claimed that she didn't want to waste the gas to get home and get them......... her grand total came to 65$.... so the way i see it is.. unless she lives 4 hours from here and drives a massive diesel truck it would have been easier to go home and get the forgotten suits...but bc i lack a life i looked up her name in our system (she paid with a cc..) to see where she lived... Saratoga Springs.. (ie less than 10 min away.)... some people are stupid....

2. Also tonight there was a family that reserved the pool for a party from 8-10 pm.. there was a large hairy man in that family.. and it was brought to my attention that on his rather hairy back there was heart that had been waxed or shaved into his back hair.. it made my night... i wanted to take pictures for proof but i chickened out....

Should be doing my homework Part 2

so... instead of writing a much dreaded response paper (I secretly dont even know what i am supposed to respond to.. i dont pay attention in class..) i am chooseing to do two things instead... blog stalk other people and create my own blog entry..
this entry will be without pictures seeing as the camera is with the husband atnerd confrence..... so.....
today i took Korbin swimming with Carly and Lannett and their offspring. It was so much fun! Korbin really loves the water and it is fun to see him get so excited when he plays in it. I hope he will love it as much as i do when he gets older.. and not so much the other sports (wink wink russell :P) But we will see!
So when i was driving home i noticed the snow in the mountains... and this makes me happy and botherd.. one the snow is still FAR away.. and that is where the snow should be, for those who like snow they can go and see it there.. WAY up there... and down here us normal folk we can remain untouched by the nasty wet cold stuff...Two .. Snow brings the inventable death cold.... I HATE being cold.. THe only pleasant thing abuot being cold is getting warm... rumor has is that the snow will be creeping its way down here to my level this saturday.. this does not please me... well it except in one way.. it will cover up my very poor excuse of a yard and stop the city from yelling at us for our lack of grass and massive amounts of weeds...
now i am rambling and Korbin thinks he is done with his dinner (gound beef and peas..ew) i know this because he is now feeding the dog...so have to go bathe the child before he starts to smell again..
ps.. russell it is sad to look out the window and see your truck and not have you here... :( come home
