Halloween
Well after a long, crazy day at work, I went home and put my costume on for a test-run for tomorrow night. I am a punk rocker, and Joey was a rasta man for tonight. Rocky also dressed up in his special costume. He wore his red wig and was the Wendy's girl. He is too cute!!!! Tomorrow we are going to another Halloween party and we are both going to be punk rockers. Here are some pics. I am exhausted now and have to get up and teach either extremely hyper kids or kids that got no sleep the night before. Yicks!

Tuna Noodle Casserole and pumpkins
Tonight I decided to make some yummy tuna noodle casserole. I mean...who doesn't like it? I must have had a craving for it. Well, after putting all the ingredients together and putting it in the oven....blah blah blah...it all turned out to be a waste. I have decided that my cooking sucks! How could I screw up tuna casserole? Anyways....it really blew and Joey only had like a spoonful. I wound up dumping it down the garbage disposal. There was no way it would have survived as a leftover. Joe jokes with me and says that I can only cook things with three ingredients or less. Now I am not even sure of that. My sister was always the one who got to help in the kitchen when we were younger. I think that is what my issue is. It all stems from not being allowed to help. Thanks Leslie and mom!

I can't believe kids nowadays!
Today at school I had a crazy day. Well...it started off really nice with me and Julie ( the other teacher I work with) out of the classroom all morning until noon for meetings. Then, it all went down hill from there. I went to pick up the kids from lunch and I saw that they were outside on the field. I have to say that I hate when the lunch ladies take them out because they get soooooo crazy and it is hard to calm them down or they get into a crap load of problems. Well today was one of those times. As soon as I got outside, one of my girls ran up to me flipping out saying that so-and-so said they were going to rape her. She was visibly upset and said she wanted her mom to come in and so on. I couldn't believe that this was something I would have to deal with. After I got all the kids lined up and took them upstairs to the class, I spoke with my co-teacher and told her the situation. Well.....long story short. I had to call the accused little boys mom and she cursed like crazy on the phone wondering how he heard that and blah blah. She wound up coming in and almost beat the crap out of him. After I finally got her to calm down, she left him at school and she went home. All of my other students had to listen to her bitch him out in the hall...it was quite scary and even though my assistant principal and the social worker were there, they weren't saying a darn thing.

New Mexican Restaurant...yum!


.jpg)
Last night, Joey and I went to try a new restaurant at Corn Hill Landing. It is called Chayote Mexican Cuisine. We go to Corn Hill Landing for a couple of other good restaurants (Siam, Virtu), so we thought we would try this one out.

A new day....
Well, I made it through the night. I was very down and I think my neighbors who I rode to the show with could tell. The visit to my doctor was quite informative. SOOOOO much information I could barely process half of it. She went through the whole IVF process and all the many things that could go wrong and the whole cost issue. When I left, I couldn't even get myself to go through the big folder of more information she gave us.
When I got to the auditorium theatre I got myself a glass a wine and tried to unwind. It worked and I really enjoyed the musical (Legally Blond). The girl in the main role acted just like Reese Witherspoon. I thought it was really great. I barely said anything to my mom, sis, or grandmother. I found myself thinking and thinking about all the info thrown at me earlier. I almost had to fight back some tears. Yicks....how pathetic. At home afterward, I got right in bed and played around with my new blog background. This may be more addicting than Myspace and all that other junk.
Today, when I got to work, the lady I work with asked me how the class was and I got a little choked up. Moving on......the day is going better and I am looking forward to tomorrow being Friday...even though I have to stay late for a meeting tonight.....AND this Saturday is the first day of Saturday school. ugh!

New to this whole thing...
Even though Joey and I have no children and family of our own...I figured we could have a blog too. I am making this at school, which is probably not such a fantastic idea...but oh well.
I am kind of cranky today but am so busy that I don't really have time to stop and think about it. Some of you may know that we are trying to get pregnant and it has been a difficult process. I am bumming today partly because I know I am not. On to the next step I guess. Going to the doc again today for a class on IVF :-( I told Joey the other day that I feel I am becoming a very bitter person, and I don't necessarily like that about myself. Ya see...mostly everyone I know can pop kids out with no problems, and then there's me who will probably have to pay to have a kid. It just sucks!!!!!
On the brighter side....My sis finds out the sex of her baby today. I really hope it is a girl and so does her hubby. We shall see!! Tonight we are going to see Legally Blond (my mom, Leslie, grammy, me, and my neighbors). It is supposed to be really good. I am excited. We bought season tickets for the whole broadway season, so we get to see lots of shows.
Well...hopefully my busy evening will keep my mind off my inability to conceive.

2nd Anniversary!
Well, we have made it two years together and everything has been wonderful. On our anniversary (9/30) we decided to go out for a fancy dinner at The Inn on Broadway. My sis got married there and since then we have gone there to have drinks and eat their yummy food.
