Grandma

My grandmother is in town to visit. She asked me today if I could vote yet...I said "Yes, I'm 26." She said, "You are?"

What a Week!

This week was crazy. I started my new job and along with my old job, I worked 70 hours. I have lost it. I know I have. I laughed hysterically at work today because a baby crossed their eyes at their pacifier. I couldn't help it. It was the funniest thing I had ever seen.


Time for bed.

No Plans

Lately, I have been thinking about God's plans for me in terms of marriage and family. I want both, dearly. I want the man of my dreams, whoever that may be, and 5 kids. I do, I said it, it's out there...5.



I have always heard that love will strike when you least expect it. I have also heard, people in speeches, sermons, random conversations that say, "I wasn't looking for anyone when I met him." or, "I didn't even want a boyfriend when I met him." My favorite is, "I had no plans for getting engaged and married this year." I am watching a bridal show on TV right now and a girl just said, "I didn't think I would get married and I was fine with that. I thought I would be independent and have fun riding my motorcycle." So for everyone out there, listen up! I am not looking to get married. I have no plans on meeting anyone in the next year. I don't even want a boyfriend. I don't think I will get married and I am fine with that... If this is what it takes, I'm game. I understand reverse psychology.

My Parents

I love my parents. They are hilarious. Today they are getting ready for their garage sale tomorrow. My dad gets stuff from garage sales and stuffs them in a cabinet we have in the den. They are going through it right now and everything my dad pulls out, he asks my mom, "You want that?" or "Oooh, ebay!" My mom is right there with him, not getting annoyed or anything. I love it also, when my dad pulls some little trinket out of the cabinet and says, "Oh! I forgot about this!" My parents are so funny.

Ms. McBride

The students have to call me Ms. McBride and it's so weird to me. One of the students said it and I didn't even respond...oops.

Teacher Clothes

Today was my first real day of teaching. I wore a super cute outfit with great shoes. Comfortable ones of course. The students came to the simulation lab (a place with mannequins that the students practice on before real people) and did some of their required skills. I realized I stood up all day. Me feet are sore, my back is aching and I feel like it's about 3 am. I am starting to understand why some teachers dress the way that they do. You all can pick out a "teacher outfit" if you needed to. A knit top, dress pants (maybe), and some flat unflattering shoes. Teachers would die if they dressed in super cute outfits everyday! My students are self-sufficient though, and I don't know how Bethany does it! It's a good thing that I can wear scrubs to teach in at the hospital.
