Taking pictures....

Ok this isnt the best picture in the world. But I have to post it. I have to show it off. My family.

I love my little family. I cant wait until my family gets bigger. I am just in love with it.

Also....What is it with me taking horrible pictures recently. I used to be so photogenic! I know some of you dont care, but for those who do.....learn a lesson from me. See this picture? I am crunched. While I was taking this picture, I was thinking like I am cuddled with my boys, and my husband. Thus, I am cuddled, but in the picture it makes me look like a hunchback. Also, my legs are a stance apart. They should be. They should be together. Not tight together. There should be a space. But together non the less. It makes my hips look boxy and huge. Also, in my attempt to "cuddle" with my boys, I manged to crouch down to them, and then sticking out my stomach. Bad no no. It makes me look like I have a gut. Which I do....but not that big! Also, I shouldnt have had my arm so much infront of me. In again, trying to get close to my boys, I turned my body into them. Thus putting my arm in the front. Because my body is at an angle, and my arm is now in front, It is making my arm look huge, and my body not that big in comparison. Dont laugh at the nylons. I had to wear them because of court. BUT I should NOT have gotten the shiny gloss ones. I do have problem buying hoisery though. I mean I do not feel right spending money on something that is going to tear after one use anyway....but man in this picture, its like HELLO SHINE! hmmmm. So I guess we can all learn a lesson.

Stand straight. Dont turn your body. Lean, but dont crouch. Keep legs a space apart. Dont cuddle or huddle or anything like that. I think thats about it. If I cant do it right, at least I can be a good example right?! man with all this advice, I should go pro......make some money and alleviate those problems!!!

Life is good.....

Man I couldn't be happier with life right now.
Actually there are a lot of things to complain about right now. Money being the main one. Why is it that there (oh my gosh! I have to just add....there was a fly that was pissing me off beyond belief, and flying around my face, when all of a sudden I had had it, and I smacked my hands together in frustration....and what do you know....yep! The fly was in my hands!!!!!!! Holy Moly. Another thing to add on the Reasons Amy is happy right now) is never enough money! Why? And why does money have to rule everything. I am so sick of fighting over money. If there were fights over money, I don't think I would ever fight with my husband. The biggest problem, is how do we fix it? I am in a career path that really....I cannot climb the ladder. What I get is what I get. And each year, yes there are steps of pay incraments, but come on people...everyone knows you go into teaching for the love....not the money. So really I cannot go anywhere in my life/job. And I am perfectly ok with that. So really all the "bring home bacon" duties fall on my husband. And my husband has no idea what the heck he wants to do with his life. And I mean, he is seriously a jack of all trades. He is good at SO many things, I am jealous. He is great with people, computers, construction, HR phony bologna, traveling, you name it. He is good at it. But he just cannot settle down, and pick something to be good at. He is always looking for the next step after that. When he applied for a job, he applies thinking, where can I go from here. Which is good, but good god. Pick a job already and stick with it and be there!!! When he got his recent job, that day he was already looking for other jobs to be at. sigh. I just want some stability people! sigh......don't we all.
Anyway, on the other side of the news, HAPPY DAY! Devon is officially adopted and his name is officially changed and all that jazz. I am so excited. In a week we are having his big adoption/baptism party, so ever the party planner I am! I am busy getting that ready. Then literally not even a month later, Devons birthday, and then again, not even a month later, Anthony turns the big 1!!!!!!!
I am happy with life right now though. I am not sure why....I mean I know why, but it is like the Amy that I knew from back in High School is like creeping around and showing her face. When I was dealing with all our infertility issues, it is like I crept into a hole, and I really hadnt ever come back out. Now it is like I am able to come out, and stay out. Some things still are quick to chase me back in. But now it is like I go in, and then I end up coming out quicker than I would have thought, and I am back in the sunshine sitting on my pink floaty above my pool of depression, sipping a pina colada. So in other words....I am rising above it all. Happily.
ps.....I am starting to like this subbing thing. Kids are getting quick to know me throughout the whole school, so when I walk down the halls, everyone is saying HELLO MRS H!!!!!!!!!!! HELLO!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhh..how great it feels to be popular amongst the kindergartners! hahaha.

PICTURES!

Yah...I know....about freaking time huh?!?!

This one is of erica beating up anthony....or at least teasing him with his bottle....

My daredevil of an older son........

ok, gotta get going. Brent caught me goofing around.....crap. Back to cleaning....

Yeah for everyone!

Ok, lots are going on, but not really to me directly. But I guess they are.
My friend online, her son was born and the birth mom signed away the rights right away with no issue. Now they are enjoying being parents!! I am so pumped for them!!!
My other friend...well she is not really my friend...just someone who I "stalk", she just miscarried...
My other friend (well, again not really like friends, but we talk.....) she just had a hysterectomy and had her bad ovary removed. There was a lot of scarring and A LOT of issues with her lady town resulting from sexual abuse.
My nephew is eating food I hear. He needs to "beef" up as the dr says. We have been telling them the same thing for a while now....but whatever! Why listen to family?!?! Crazy first time parents who don't know anything.....
Anthony, my son, likes to beat up kids at daycare, and his cousin Dominic. It is pretty funny. He tries to beat up his older cousin Erica(Brents side), but she is bigger than he is, for now, and so she just lays on him...literally.
Oh! And our good news.....Devon is going to be officially adopted Sept. 22nd. YEAH. Party time. Well actually the party isnt until October 5th. Then he will be baptised, and everything will be so grand.
Speaking of grand, I wish I could find a job. I mean I have been subbing, which is ok.....and I have busy full time. With only like a day or two off each week. But thank goodness I have my Pracs job to make up for that slack. I just wish I could have my own classroom. Something I have been wishing for since like when I was 5!!!! 20 years later.....no new development. Lucky me.
I need comments I have decided. People comment on my post. Then at least I dont feel like I am talking to myself like I normally do.....
But anyway. Today is one of my days off, and so I am attempting to clean the house. Sigh. I am so sick of cleaning. But yeah! At least I am kind of "winter" cleaning. And at least it is for an excellent reason!!!!

um......

So here I am. Subbing for the first time this year again.
grrrr. I actually don't mind it. Sometimes I do. Today I have 7th grade english. They are actually good kids. I really don't prefer High School. Probably because everytime I subbed at High School, the kids thought I was the new student.
I have to say, I am feeling kind of guilty, because I am using the teachers laptop.....to write this post......hahaha. Awe well. Also I am drinking a starbucks coffee and eating a lunchables pizza. man life isnt that bad at all......

on other things....is it bad to wish for someone to do the wrong thing, only if it means that it will save another persons life?? What if wishing for a bad thing will actually result in a good thing.........
