I have had this undying urge to talk to someone, and yet I have no idea who that someone is. I feel like I have so much to say, but I don't know about what! I need to spill my guts, but what is there to spill and who do you spill them too?
I don't know what my deal is, but lately, I feel like I have so much going on in my world. I feel like I am stuck in my head because I don't know who to talk to to lay it all on the table. However, saying that, I don't even know what it is I need to say. I just feel like I am spinning in circles and can't catch my breath.
This has kind of been a rough beginning to 2010, and I seem to have the blahs. I keep thinking I am getting better, and I really am, but then I fall into a temporary rut. I just feel like so much has happened. Between co-workers, students, husbands, children, friends, family, etc. I feel like it has been a lot for me to deal/cope/ handle right now! I just don't know how to do it.
Anyway, this blog makes absolutely no sense, but at least I vented for a minute. Please none of you who are my chatty people take offense. I know that you would be more than happy to listen and be right there with me. It truly is I just don't know what to say to another person right now....basically, I am stuck in my own head and it is driving me crazy!

Valentine's Day Weekend
Dustin and I continued to have another nice weekend. Friday evening we had dinner at my mom's house because Gar, Mom, and S took the kids on tracks and front runner, since it was free on Friday. We then went to our niece and nephews birthday party at Kristie's. Zak turned five and Andie turned nine.
Once we were done there we headed to Nathan's house for margarita night with some friends. Since we don't believe in drinking and driving, and we both wanted to enjoy the night, we ended up camping out at Nathan's house. We had drinks then all went to breakfast together Saturday morning. It was so fun to have a night with them, it has been far to long!
After breakfast, Dustin and I went to the grocery store, home, and just relaxed for awhile. Come about 4:30 we started packing up and headed to Logan. Once we got to Logan we just hung out; it was great. We had dinner and watched Pretty Woman, then got Peanut ready for bed. Once Carter was in bed, Dustin and I went out to the hot-tub, that was actually hot, and enjoyed the heat and bubbles. We were able to unwind and spend some time together.
Sunday morning Dustin made breakfast for me and we watched a movie. We then got ready to meet my grandfather, dad, and Kel for lunch. They had called that morning and asked if we wanted to do breakfast, but when they found out we were north and we were going to be passing Papa Lynn's and that is where they were headed, we decided to meet there.
We enjoyed lunch with Papa Lynn, Dad and Kel, and talked for a few hours. It was so nice to spend some quality time with my grandfather. He is turning 87 years old tomorrow, and at this stage in my life I value every spare minute I get with him.
After we left, we went to Nathan's for dinner. We wanted to make sure he wasn't alone on Valentine's Day. Dustin made a nice mahi-mahi, London broil steak, cauliflower and asparagus dinner, with Dutch Apple pie ala mode for dessert. We then watched a movie, and Peanut and I fell asleep.
Today I have just hung out at home for the most part. Carter has a cold and I am feeling a little worn out as well, so we are just relaxing. It has truly been a very nice three day weekend.

Winter Palooza
Saturday we were supposed to go to Castle Dale for our nephews baptism. However, due to weather conditions and it being a 2 1/2 hour drive, we decided not to make the trip. Stacy and I were so bummed, cause we were looking forward to an outing. So we decided to take the kids to Winter Palooza at South Town Expo. Nee Ners and Grandpa decided to come along as well.
It turned out to be so much fun. There was so much going on, and so many funny things for everyone. Carter was able to walk on a balance beam, do a back flip, put his face on a cow body, dance to a Hannah Montana impersonator, get a U of U tattoo, play with a track, and attempt the bouncing houses.
Peanut doing a back flip, hands down and all!
Carter playing with the drums.
"Me, Moooo-Cow?"
Our kids LOVE bubbles!
I also really enjoyed the Palooza. They had so much information and activities. We signed up for Utah Kids Club, which will give us buy one get one free to many events, restaurants, etc. It also sends an e-mail with a daily calendar of what events are going on that week.
I was able to talk to a woman about adoption, buy a book, received two books free, find information on music classes, gymnastics, art classes, etc. It really turned out to be a fun event, and for several hours, the whole thing cost less than $20. That is a score in our world. It was so great to spend time with the family, and get away from the house.
Hopefully, now that we are a member of the kids club, we will find more activities to participate in.
Best of Buds, ready for lunch! LET'S GO!!!

Park City
Friday afternoon, Dustin, Carter, and I headed to Park City. We were asked to go listen to a time share spiel, and we usually do it. We figure its an easy $100 for 90 minutes and we have mastered telling them no. So, after work, we got in our car and headed East.
Dustin and I love Park City. I think it is because it holds sentimental value for us. Dustin used to live there when we were dating and we would spend a lot of time there. I would drive there every Tuesday after school, we would go on a date, spend the night, then drive home Wednesday morning before my next class. It became a routine and I always looked forward to my time in Park City with him.
We went up to the time share presentation and listened to all the details. This was our second time to this particular one, and out of all the ones we have done, it is our least favorite. So, that makes telling them no rather easy. We received our $100 and left. While we were there we ran into Dustin's old roomie, who we haven't seen in six or more years, and exchanged numbers. It was so fun to see Josh again.
Dustin and I then took Peanut to Red Banjo.
It was our favorite place to go when we were dating. They have great pizza and a fun, chill atmosphere. Once there, we were seated but told it would take about 30 minutes for our pizza to be ready. No big deal, we can wait. Well, over an hour and fifteen minutes later, it was still not out. Carter was exhausted, it was 8:30, and he could no longer sit in the highchair. So, we asked for our pizza to go, and an hour and a half after getting there, we left, with our food in a box. It was a little frustrating, but the pizza was great.
On our way out Dustin ran into another friend, exchanged numbers, and we headed down the canyon. It was a nice outing, but hopefully we can go again soon!

Another Great Weekend!
I am so happy to say, I had another GREAT weekend. Dustin had Friday and Saturday off, so we decided to head to Logan on Friday. I had a doctors appointment Friday, then I ran home, packed and got on the road. When we got to Logan, we ate a fabulous dinner and then got Peanut ready for bed. Dustin and I then went into the hot tub. However, much to my dismay, the "hot"-tub, was not hot AT ALL! So, after much complaining on my part, and me having to remind Dustin of how Jack died on Titanic, we finally got out.
Saturday was so fun. Dustin and I were lucky enough to have breakfast with my in-laws at Angies. It is my favorite breakfast place in the entire world! Then Dustin went with his dad and I went with my mother-in-law. We went to the mall, did some retail therapy, got a manicure, and then headed home.
Once I got home, I laid Peanut down and tried to cuddle him. Carter kept asking for dad and I asked Dustin to join us. Well, Dustin started singing, "Lovin' Feelin'" to Peanut, and Carter fell asleep. We both agreed it melted our hearts quite a bit.
Dustin then wanted to go shooting. I have been trying to make sure I do more activities with him, so I told him I would go. We drove west of Logan, and went to the range. Let me just tell you I have an AMAZING shot! I am pretty sure out of 100 rounds, I hit the target less than 10 times. So, let's just say I am not going to quick my day job anytime soon!
After that I went back to the in-laws, ate dinner, and got ready. We got Carter ready for bed, then headed out the door. We headed to Brigham City to meet some friends at the karaoke bar. Well, right before we were out of the canyon, my phone rang and my friend said his babysitter had canceled.
Dustin and I went to the bar, had a couple drinks.s, and played a game of billiards. Our friends called back and told us they were still without a babysitter. So, we came up with a couple options, and decided to go to their house and drink. Dustin and I finished our game then went to the store and bought some beer.
When we got to their house, I was pretty relaxed. I hadn't seen my friend in over five years, and had only talked to his wife on facebook. As we started talking, we realized Brein needed a drink, and since she doesn't drink beer, we loaded up in their car, left Doug and went back to the bar. We had two quick shots then headed back to their house.
We had a great time while we were there. Dustin and Doug have similar political views and were able to have discussions I am not smart enough to have with Dustin. We then talked religion, family, friends, etc. It was so much fun to just hang out and have some adult time with friends. It was so nice to spend some time with another couple and have adult conversations! When we finally got into the car, I was completely shocked to see it was 2:15 in the morning and there was six inches of freshly fallen snow.
We finally got home at 3:00 and hit the pillow hard. When we woke up this morning we ate breakfast and then went and saw my Aunt. Dustin helped setup their new tv and we were able to just hang out and catch up. We then ran back to his parents house, packed our car, and headed back to the city of salt.
We met my family at The Old Spaghetti Factory to celebrate Dustin's, Stacy's, and Kate's birthday. It was so nice to see everyone and spend some time with my parents and siblings. I have such a great family and I truly start to miss seeing my siblings.
Dustin and I then spent the rest of the evening at home. It has been nice to just unwind and coast. I am so sad to see my weekend end. I am not ready to be back to reality, but I guess that is the way it goes. Any who, hope you all have a great week your own self!

Exhaustion...
Today was the end of a chaotic 10 days for me, and I am so relieved to be done. As you all know I am a special education teacher and there are a lot of legalities that go along with it. We have files, we have IEP's, we have to make sure things are being implemented, etc. Once every five years we have UPIPS, which is where the state comes in and audits everything, interviews us, and does a check and balance of where we stand as a district.
I take the paperwork part of my job very seriously, and kind of pride myself on how well I do paperwork. In looking at my students files, I quickly realized just how bad of shape they were in. So, last week I spent the entire week completing what I can, fixing what I could, and on Friday stayed until 7:30 putting the files in order. I then brought home four more and completed them over the weekend. It was very stressful and a little disheartening to see the kinds of shape some of my files were in and the lack of professionalism in teachers, across the state, for making sure things were done correctly. Like I said, I take the file very seriously because that is what protects myself and the district if there were ever to be a litigation.
By Sunday evening I was pretty stressed. I had completed my files, marked them where they needed to be fixed, and then worked on filling out my questionnaire of the questions they were going to ask. I was feeling so overwhelmed my poor face broke out in hives, and I looked amazing! LOL
Yesterday I spent the entire day preparing for my audit. I went to different schools to gather anything and everything I could to complete my files, and that took my entire morning. Then in the afternoon I met with my principal and my general education teacher to complete the survey questions. I then spent my evening quizzing myself, trying to make sure I knew everything.
Today was the big day. I added a little extra make-up to try to hide some of my hives, yes they are still here, and dressed a little more professional, tried to breathe and headed to work. But don't you worry, the auditors didn't come until 1:00, so I got to worry about it all morning.
I received several phone calls from a dear friend of mine who was at the high school this morning during their audit, and was giving me information in what I would need to have ready for my turn. I was continuing to study up to the very last possible second, and for two of the questions had to break down and make-up acronyms to remember the answers.
I finally was up. They picked two of my files randomly, one I feel good about and the other one I feel okay about, and they were off critiquing every piece of paper. I then was called in for my interview and was EXTREMELY nervous.
The woman who interviewed me turns out to be a dear friend of my aunt, which you would think would help make it less intense, right? WRONG!!! I hold my aunt on such a pedastool that I want her to be proud to say I am her niece. I know, kind of cheesie, but very true. My aunt is an incredible special educator and someone I have so much respect for, I want her to know I am trying my best too!
Anyway, here came the questions. They were just like what I had studied and I felt pretty comfortable with my answers. I must admit, I had to ask if I could use my fingers when they would ask for more than 3 answers, because I wanted to make sure I got enough. After NINE pages of interviews we were down to the last 4 questions, and they were the ones I kept struggling with. However, I am pleased to report "DAPPE" and "3CRD" paid off and I nailed the questions!!! My acronyms worked and I was able to answer the questions with only a little thought. Ten full pages of interview questions on special education...DONE!
Once the interview was over, I quickly called my aunt to tell her who had interviewed me. My aunt knows what an UPIPS audit is like since she is in the business, and had been sweating bullets with me for five days now. So, we giggled and talked about what happened and then she told me to go get a drink and sleep well!
I left work today feeling like I did my job, and it was very rewarding. I know, no matter what the auditors come back with, I gave it my all. I worked hard and I know I gave it the best I could and I am proud of myself. Within an hour of hanging up, my dear Aunt had called me back and told me I did do well. She had spoken with her friend, and she said besides my nerves I did "wonderful." (I paid the woman to tell my aunt that, because I don't want her disappointed. ;-) ) So, yeah! I did it and I am glad it is over! Now I am anxious to see what the reports really say...dun, dun, dun!!!
P.S. I really did come home, have a drink and now I am headed for bed!

A Much Needed Weekend
I have recently come back into contact with some friends who I used to hang out with in high school. They are now all married and have children, and so grown up. We decided that we should all get together and spend an evening at dinner.
We went to Cafe Sylvestre's because we can reserve an entire back room, and they are great making sure the food stays safe for Colin. Well, Stacy and I were very good friends with these guys for a lot of years and spent a lot of time with them. So, when we decided to get together, I was extremely excited. Stac and I have been talking and so anxious to finally go out with some friends and spend some time together.
Everybody showed up at 6 and things just fell into the groove of the way it used to be pretty quick, except now we all have a spouse and kids! It is so fun to see everyone grown up and playing such a new role, compared to where we were 8 years ago. Which was how long since it has been since I have seen two of the guys!
We sat and talked for a couple hours, ate dinner, laughed hard, and decided we had to do this again soon. We all enjoy camping and bbq-ing so we are hoping to have more get togethers. I truly need to be able to go spend some time with other families who are in the part of life.
Dustin and I then dropped Carter off at my mom's and went to Keys on Main. I had never been there and it was so fun. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a duel piano bar. I hadn't been yet and was anxious to finally go, what a great place to go hang out. We spent a little over an hour there with Dustin's sisters and then left.
Today I felt like we should continue with another activity. This morning I called my mom and my sister and asked if they all wanted to go bowling. They were able to talk with their spouses and everyone was in. HOORAY!
Carter has never been bowling before, and he loved it! Colin and Carter had so much fun together. They would watch the other push their ball down the ramp and would always cheer no matter what the results were. The adults had a good time too. Stac and Bri had their own little competition going and the first game was close, second game was not so good for Stac. LOL!
Peanut was completely wiped out before we even left the parking lot!We ended up having a lot of fun and it was so nice to spend our Sunday morning with our family. This weekend has been good for us. We need more social in our life, and have been trying to find people to do that with us. We are looking forward to more hang-outs with the group of friends and another trip bowling soon!
