puberty slips

I had no idea that in 5th grade the school has a program setup to split the boys and girls up to talk about certain things. Well maybe the first week of school they asked me when they were going to have a boy/girl meeting. I said I had no idea what they are talking about.

So a week ago, the secretary comes in with permission slips. One pile for the boys, one pile for the girls. She told me to hand them out. My kids instantly saw them on their desks when they came in to the classroom. Some just stared at it. Some said, "OH NOOO!" Some asked if they had to do it.

The funniest part is that they had to turn them back in and a few of the kids forgot to do that. So I have to go and ask them for their permission slip. They say, "Permission slip for what?" I tell them, "Oh you KNOW, the puberty slip." They get super awkward, but then kind of laugh about it. They are officially called the "puberty slips."

Next Friday, from 1 to 2:30 the program will start. I even got a few parents coming in to attend the meeting. It's going to be a big day. I'll give an update about it next weekend.

Puberty = when you are no longer a carefree child that has no worries in the world

this is a shout out to the 80's Barbie doll

We all had the 80's Barbie doll. did we not? Jess and I saw the REAL Barbie doll on Sunday. We saw her. We stared at her. We took lots of picture of her. These boys walked by and told us "Y'all are going to hell." I looked sheepish and said, "What for?" "You know why."

Here's the description. Teased hair in a high pony tail... messy with strands of hair coming down. Very tan. Very skinny. Then the dress.. oh my. i just chuckled thinking about it. the dress was very fluorescent orange. It was a very short tube dress with straps off the shoulder. I actually have no comment on the shoes. they couldn't have been normal though.

reliving life

I was just thinking about this yesterday when Matt and I were talking about how awesome Saturday's game was. I said, "I wish we could do the whole thing over again!"

Seriously, WHAT IF... you could relive things over again? If I could just pick and choose days I have had and consolidate them into 365.25 days and make that the year I just relive over and over again that would be pretty awesome. The only bad thing is that what if better days are to come? Then I would be living a "perfect" year over and over, but it is actually just ho hum compared to what I would have had if I just kept on living in the present. Maybe the day before I die God will tell me, "Jodi, your life has come to an end so now you can finally pick your favorite 265.25 days of your life and relive them this next year before you come to heaven."

Maybe I should number from 1 to 365 and start jotting down the days I would like to repeat, then by the time I die I will have my days all recorded and ready.

birthday gifts

Yesterday one of my kids wanted to give me my birthday gift soo bad. She kept saying, "Can I pleeease give you your birthday gift?! I got you the coolest gift ever. You're going to love it." Finally after school I told her she could give it to me a day early. She runs over and gets it from her desk and makes me close my eyes and open my hand. Well I trust her for some reason not to do anything mean to me when my eyes are closed so I open my hand. She puts it in and tells me to look... It was a rock.

Now I know that came from the heart, (It was actually a rock shaped heart haha.) but seriously. I think this might be one of the things I miss from my old school. Last year, I got a Visa card for $200! Holy cow is all I said when I got that moulah. I used that money right up on a couple's massage.

Even thought I only have hand soap and twizzlers (I hate twizzlers) on my desk right now, I know they really like me.

sleep deprived

okay. I have got to be honest here, I need sleep. All my mom said to me when she saw me today was, "You look awful!" oh dear. I LOVE 8 hours of sleep more than anything in the world. I will hopefully get that tonight with my sleeping drugs I got today. Tomorrow... tomorrow I will not be the Debby Downer of my own blog. The real Jodi will reappear again with a good story... tomorrow.

nighty night y'all!

YES!!!!

Pa-lin! Pa-lin! Pa-lin! The democrats love her, what?! The news loves her, what?! The Truth Squad says she is all around truthful and joe is a big liar.

I love the "Truth Squad." that is a great name. What kind of squad could I be a part of? I'm not computery enough to be a part of the Geek Squad. What other squads are there that we can be a part of.

"Say it ain't so, Joe."

A wink and a smile

I'm watching the debate. That's what my friend, Val, and I do for fun on a Thursday night haha.) Did anyone hear Joe Biden say Bush's name over and over and over in one of his comments. That wasn't the funny part, it was the way he said his name.. Boooshez, Booshez, Boooshez... it was just too much I definitely lol-ed.

I do think they are both doing well, but still I love Palin's wink she does all of the time. I wish I could do that. ;) And I love Joe's teeth. Wow are his teeth big and straight. He needs to flash those pearls more.

Palin is a real woman. I like her. I hope I am like her.
