Ay Dios Mio!

Oh yes, it's the time again. It has been quite a day.

Sunday night tornado sirens went off and what not, bad storms, blah blah blah.
I'm from Oklahoma yo, tornado sirens do not make me take cover, they make me go outside and look. Monday night we had storms. So first thing this morning, we had a tornado drill at school. 1,100 students in a tornado drill. Ay Dios Mio!

Then this afternoon, we actually had to take cover because of a tornado warning. I did what I was told and took my students to a small room just to be safe. We were in the room for like 20 minutes or something. I looked at the weather channel app on my phone and the storm was right over our town. As I'm looking at that, they release us from our safe place. Weird. Then the tornado sirens went off. And they never sent us back to take cover. So I just had to teach through the tornado sirens. Ay Dios Mio!

We had parent/teacher conferences today from 4-7. I got a call at 2:38 from the house showing people that said someone wanted to see our house at 2:45. I said no, because I'm supposed to have an hour notice, plus I had to be at school at 4. I live too far away to drive back and forth through school zones and what not. So then the house people call back at 2:57 and say someone wants to look at our house at 2:45. I said, "You know it's 2:57, right?" So they apologized and said they would be sure and give me an hour notice. Duh, that's what we agreed to a month ago. Ay Dios Mio!

My neighbor sent me this picture of the storm above our house:

I asked her to check in on Norman for me. So she goes in, pets him, opens the back door, and sees this:

My favorite tree, Sam, did not survive the storm. Ay Dios Mio!


I named him Sam because he's a Bradford Pear tree. Get it? Sam Bradford?


Heisman Trophy Winner, Sam Bradford.

#1 draft pick, Sam Bradford.
Anyone, anyone? 

So I took 1/2 day off tomorrow because someone is coming out to cut it up and haul part of it off. The rest I want to leave here for firewood. Then a claims person or whatever from our insurance company will come out and inspect the damage. Ay Dios Mio!

Good thing I didn't let those folks look at our house. They would've opened the back door to this

Ay Dios Mio!


Oh, and I got to leave school early. So I didn't have to have one conference. I got home at 4, as opposed to 7. Scoreboard!



And just look how happy that made Sam!

Ay Dios Mio!

It's that time again.

Last Friday we were at Nate Dawg's cousin's wedding in Louisville. The rooftop wedding was SCHEDULED for 6:30, open bar was 7-9, cash bar 9-11. Sooo...the wedding started at about 7. Ok ok, not so bad. Except for the fact that Nate Dawg and I had $7 in cash to our names. We were hoping to take complete advantage of the open bar, but by the time the wedding was finished, we only had an hour and a half. Ay Dios Mio!

No biggie, because we stocked up on free drinks. Ay Dios Mio!

So what if we're grown ups and both have good paying jobs, free drinks are free drinks!

After a few free drinks, the dancing really started. There was a big group of girls out on the dance floor doing the cupid shuffle. I kept trying to get Nate Dawg's single cousin out there to dance, he kept denying me. Boys! oh, and Ay Dios Mio!

Apparently I tried so hard to get him out there that two buttons on my dress popped off, landing on the dance floor. Classy. The two buttons just happened to be half of the buttons holding my dress closed in the chestal region. (chestal region=medical terms, for real)

Anyway, the two buttons were on the floor. Nate Dawg's cousin pointed and laughed. I could not stop laughing long enough to pick up the buttons. So they just sat there on the floor for what seemed to be 3 minutes.

Now, it's not like I have this huge chestal region (thanks ma). There was no reason for those buttons to pop off my little black (super cute) dress. It could be a cool trick at parties...NOT

Maybe the girls just wanting to come out and say hello?

After I picked the buttons up from the dance floor, I lost them. Does gorilla glue work on dresses? Ay Dios Mio!

Ay Dios Mio!

That's OMG for those who don't speak Spanish.

I had a Mexican lady, like straight up born in Mexico, who worked in my office when we lived in Texas. She said this a lot. Plus I heard it from this guy on The Simpsons.

1. I got a new student today. Which is terrific, except if you're a Special Education Teacher, then that means so much more paperwork. I also found out he's on probation. And he's in 6th grade. Then another 6th grader perked up and said he's on probation too. Now the two of them can be bff's in juvie. Ay Dios Mio!

2. I found out that my friend Erin's hubby went on a date with Carrie Underwood in college. What the what? My friend Liv went to NSU in Tahlequah and Carrie was a waitress at a restaurant they went to. Pink Lou Lou, did you hear that? Ay Dios Mio!

3. A super sweet student of mine, and I'm calling him super sweet to keep from being mad at him, asked me today when I turned 40. I said, "14 years from now. Thanks." But yesterday he said something about me being 20, so I've decided he doesn't know what he's talking about. Ay Dios Mio! and Bless his little heart.

4. Nate Dawg sent me flowers at school. He sent them yesterday, but I left early and apparently they came RIGHT after I left. So they were on my desk bright and early this morn.

In the card he called me "superwoman". Ay Dios Mio!

5. Yes, that is Dukes of Hazzard on my mousepad, what of it?

6. My pregnant friend/coworker Elizabeth got all sorts of decked out for the pep rally today. One purple/one gold sock, purple ribbons in her hair, purple shorts, gold shirt. We were by the cheerleaders, so what else would an 8 month preg girl do but dance? And cheer? She even got pom poms from a girl. It was so funny. Then our 70ish year old principal, who is always so stern, danced with her. It was hilarious. I wish I would've had a video.

7. I'm not checking my spelling in this. Just thought you should know. asl;kdfjasldkfj

Hope the rest of your week goes by fast!
