New Inductees Into The KUC

I must begin my blog by congratulating the newest inductees into The now infamous "Knocked Up Club". Thanks to these fine ladies, I continue to be off-the-hook in the baby department. The unfortunate thing is that none of you live within 4 hours of me so that I can squeeze cheeks (both butt & face). Cristie and Laura K. are due soon with Lola & Colton. Annie is due in September with Katie Charlotte. Laura A., Jillina, & Lori are due in September, October, and November with currently sex-unknown babies. I lovingly will call these tikes (until the gender is released) Fetuses (or Feti?) Alsup, Cabaniss, and Mycoskie. Congrats girls!

Things have been a little interesting in my life lately due to the inappropriate things that children do at school. This week, I have had to speak to 2 kindergarteners about inappropriate comments. One (who has both his ears pierced with one-carat CZ's) told his friend that he was going to pee on him while showing him his private body part (i.e. "penis"), and the other one told a friend that he wanted to kiss his girlfriend on her buttcrack. No lie. Now, please don't move your children to a remote island where they will never step foot in public schools--these kids are not roaming the hallways all the time looking for their next victim, most of the time they don't know what in the world they are saying. I also recently found out that 2 first grade girls at my school have their tongues pierced. I promise my school is actually a really nice one--I almost fell out of my desk chair when I saw the tongue piercings. I couldn't believe it, and I didn't think that much shocked me. But I must say that my day is never dull, and I enjoy almost every bit of it.

One last story before I head off to bed: Last night Andy told me that he needed me to drive his little brother's truck to work the next day. No problem, I thought, until I remembered seeing the truck when I went outside--it was full of mulch!!! Not a small bed full--a heaping mound of tree mulch that flies every where as you are driving down the road. I told him "No way, that is soooo embarassing". Now I realize that I sounded like a 7th grade girl talking to her father who just showed up at school and yelled, "Is that the boy you've been telling me about?!?"--but I don't care, that was embarassing! Long story short, Andy won, and I drove the truck to school, mulch and all. Needless to say, I parked in the back parking lot, and wore a disguise until I was at a safe distance from the mulch-toting truck. I was going to take pictures of me in the vehicle to post, but Andy unloaded it before I got the chance. Maybe next time. Happy Friday!

Spring Breakin'!

It is the end of my Spring Break, and as Andy watches The Masters, I get a chance to reminiscence over my paid week-long vacation from school! Anyone jealous? I spent the beginning of the week doing absolutely, positively nothing. But you know when you are at home, you always feel like you need to be cleaning or doing something productive? I did that for about one day, and then decided that I needed to get over the guilt and enjoy the days. I read a few books, and chilled out with Callie, then on Thursday evening, Andy and I headed to Nashvegas. We had a great time staying with Chris Anne, David, Campbell, and Andrew--those are some cutie-pie kiddos! There is certainly never a dull moment in that household, Campbell keeps you entertained with his matter-of-fact statements and obsessions with his person of the moment. When Andy is around, Campbell loooooooooooves to always know what Andy is doing and if Andy will play with him. Too cute. Eli came over Saturday night for dinner, and Campbell asked him every 3 minutes or so if he was done with his dinner. I think he kept checking because he was the first one done, and wanted someone else to finish so he could play with them. Baby Andrew chills like no other baby before him. It melts your heart when he smiles at you with his gigantic cheeks, and toothless grin! I also got a chance to hang out with Carrie at Bread & Co right after the typhoon hit Franklin. We sat in the restaurant for a couple of hours talking about everything we could think of--it was glorious! I then migrated to Starbucks in Brentwood to meet Lauren and chit-chat until dinnertime. Rebecca, Abigail, and Ansley met us for dinner, and the girls and Campbell kept us entertained in McAllister's Deli until it was time to leave. Saturday, Lindsay and Rebecca met Chris and I at Puffy Muffin (surprise, surprise!) for brunch. I had a food and friend-filled weekend, and it was so wonderful to meet up with everyone--thanks for taking time out to hang with me! I forgot my camera, so I have no pictures, I'll steal some from Chris Anne when she updates her blog! Happy Spring--isn't it wonderful?
