3 and 1/2 days of school left…
By troisieme | May 30, 2008
…which is a good thing, as we wouldn’t want me to hurt a young child. and trust me–these children need spanking. or a slap in the face. or both. what is UP with parents these days? the problem began when they started believing a child over a teacher. one thing they never thought of is why i would go to the trouble to LIE to a parent. is it just me, or do i have way more important things to do than to make up shit about your child? right.
went to see the SEX AND THE CITY movie tonight!!! LOVED IT. freaking love that show, and the movie didn’t disappoint. ah. i wished i had been there with bestfriendk, because it’s totally OUR show, but my mom happened to get some free tickets, so i went with her. it was fun, but she doesn’t watch the show, so it’s a much different experience for her than me, a freaking psycho fan who has most of the episodes memorized and can relate every situation in life to an episode of sex and the city. =)
22 days till wedding. wowzers. i am so freaking exhausted. my students are like feral children, and i’m now using my favorite acronym (teaching profession is inundated with useless acronyms, and we like to make up our own to talk about kids in private) much more frequently: R.B.W. (raised by wolves). that one and O.D. (odd duck), but the OD’s are much more common than the RBW’s. =) until the end of the school year, when they all seem to have been RBW.
C won’t leave me alone right now and keeps asking what i’m writing. why is he annoying me? he just read that. lol. now he’s going to play radiohead on his guitar much more loudly because he knows i hate it and likes to annoy me. =)
we move into our house a week from sunday. i am so frigging excited i can’t stand it. i bought a new float for our pool tonight. =)
gotta get some sleep. thank GOD it’s friday. can i get a what-what?

32 days until the wedding.
By troisieme | May 20, 2008
just sayin.
did i mention last time that we move into our house june 8th? i probably did. or not. my head is no longer attached, so i have no recollection, honestly.
do you ever just wish everyone would leave you alone? stop calling you, stop emailing you, stop HARASSING you in general? because i don’t think i have ever wished something so much in all my life as i wish that right now. people? leave me alone. and secondly? if there’s a problem with the wedding, but it’s now worked out, is it really necessary to TELL me about it? because i’m pretty sure i’m already stressed out enough as it is without you telling me every little freaking thing that goes wrong and every little thing i should have done but apparently didn’t.
one time i was watching that show about the really smart nerdy guys that has the guy from Roseanne in it? with the goofy, curly hair? and they’re all like technology geeks? anyway, one of the guys’ moms was on there, and it was none other than “Jackie” (also from Roseanne–uncanny). WELL, she is funny, and at some point, she told her son on the show to do something, which he didn’t comply with. Her response? “I’m sorry, but did you hear the phrase, ‘if it please Your Highness’ before that sentence?” i just want to tell people that ALL the time. like, ALL. the. time.
also? i have no patience left. none. not one ounce of it. not for anyone. ESPECIALLY not for my kids at school, my fiance’, my parents, his parents, my crazy bitch of a co-worker, or anyone, really. yeah, i’m not exclusive with my withholding of patience–i am an equal-opportunity patience-withholder. so yeah.
i really can’t think of anything nice to say, and you know what they say about that. =)
on a happier note, my dress is really pretty. =) k bye.

38 days till the wedding.
By troisieme | May 14, 2008
good lord. really? REALLY. 38 days. holy SHIT. yeah. so we are getting the house!!! we close on june 3rd, move in on june 8th, right after school gets out, which is convenient for me. well, convenient other than i’ll have to be fully packed and ready to go BEFORE school gets out and my wedding is like 2 weeks later. so not really SO convenient. ha.
the house is freaking AWESOME. i mean, we’re a little older than a lot of people who get married these days, i guess, but if i say so myself, and i do, this is a pretty nice starter home. DANG. the pool is really nice, and there are hardwood floors in the living room and ceramic tile in the kitchen and entryway. it’s really quite exciting. we had the inspection yesterday, so i’m freshly excited.
you know, i love my students. after all, they’re 9 years old, and they’re really cute kids. but DAMN if they don’t drive me fucking crazy every DAY now. it is really getting out of hand. i mean today one of my worst kids was absent and my other worst kid left after lunch sick, and the afternoon was STILL out of hand. i’ve never had both of them out the same day, and let me tell you, it should have been WAY more pleasant than it was. i know the kids know, because i’m acting totally different than usual, saying things like “you people drive me crazy,” “would it be possible for you to start making me proud of you again so i wouldn’t have to keep yelling at you?” and so on. they mostly just stare at me when i say things like that, which could be a concern if they go home and tell their parents all the unkind things i say to them. heh. oh well. i think the new phrase i am constantly saying without meaning to is “ok, bye.” meaning anytime they approach my desk to ask me stupid questions or to tell me (or even better–show me) the size of a queen termite, rather than listen to their 3 minute schpiel, i cut them off saying, “ok bye.” it’s really not very nice, but i honestly don’t even mean to say it at this point, i just can’t help myself. i am off the deep end of mean teacher-itis. but they have end-of-the-year-itis, so it’s ok, i guess.
dude. i’m so glad that so many people are willing to offer up their unsolicited advice and opinions about my wedding and everything leading up to my wedding. i mean, what WOULD i do without everyone else?
seriously? oh really, so i have to wear pearls with my wedding gown? that’s so interesting, because i’m not going to wear them, so basically you can go fuck yourself. do i LOOK like someone who is going to wear pearls to my wedding? is it just me, or did i buy my bridesmaid dresses for $20 at WalMart? is it just me, or does our wedding reception include a tex-mex fajita buffet and kegs of beer? is it just me, or do i want to shoot you in your foot for criticizing the invitations that i painstakingly HAND-MADE? is it just me, or is there really no one i can talk to about all my pent-up anger? fab. if i don’t end up saying ‘fuck it all,’ and going to the courthouse, i’ll post wedding pics at some point.
k bye. LOL.

becoming a homeowner.
By troisieme | May 10, 2008
we are SO signing a contract on a house today. well, this is, of course, if the little fuckers selling the house don’t get any better offers at their open house today. fuckers. so MOST LIKELY we’ll be homeowners soon. =) crazy. is this what it feels like to be an adult? i’m pretty sure i’ve not crossed that bridge yet.
if we end up getting the house, i’ll post some pictures!! the best part: a pool!!!

weddings and summer and children, oh my!
By troisieme | April 25, 2008
wow, it’s been a long time. today i mailed out the wedding invitations, which i made myself (bought paper, printed them, cut them, printed and cut response cards, stuffed into envelopes, and so on). they turned out pretty cute if i say so myself (which i do). i would post a picture, but they have my name and parents and c’s and all that. but they are cute.
i am in the process of making my own clip in hair extensions. bought the hair yesterday and tonight my stylist showed me how to sew in the clips (not hard, but i am retarded and don’t know how to do things like sew). the hair is AWESOME and matches my color exactly. it’s kind of insane, really.
tonight we watched an episode of six feet under. C gave me the boxed set for Christmas, and after tonight’s episode, we only have 3 episodes left. such a good show.
we have been looking for houses but haven’t had any luck yet. the area where we live is pretty high for texas–it’s a nice area, and homes are still cheap compared to the northeast, but they’re a little high for our budget and what we’d like to have. i have become un-budgeable on a couple of things: 1800 square feet is my new minimum, and i want a BIG living area. my side of the family has about 19 people including my nieces and nephews, so if i ever want anyone to come to a holiday at our house, we’re going to have to have a lot of room. it’s hard to find a big yard in suburbia, which is saddening, but there’s not much you can do. it’s pretty exciting to be buying a house soon. i’ve been ready for several months now to get out of this apartment, though our upstairs neighbors have not been NEARLY as obnoxious lately (knock on wood). however, about a month ago, the plumber stole my diamond earrings (one of the 3 real pieces of jewelry i own)(used to own), so that was discouraging as well and certainly didn’t make me want to stay here much longer. it’s frustrating because now i have to change out my earrings daily to match what i’m wearing when before i wore the diamond ones almost every day. damn thieves. we have renter’s insurance. as of last week, haha. advice: get renter’s insurance.
we bought my wedding band this week, and it’s supposed to be ready tomorrow. ooh, i’ll post some ring pictures when i get it, that will be fun.
trying to think of what else, so much has been going on, but mostly me doing stupid, irritating wedding preparations.
oh, i know–5 weeks of school till summer!!! and 7 weeks till the wedding!!! So exciting. my kids at school are like wild comanches on the war path, i’m telling you–they are out. of. control. i had to yell at them today, which i haven’t had to do in a while, but they are just really out of hand. they think it’s the end of school, but they’ve still got 5 weeks, so they better calm it down.
i guess that’ll do for now.
peace out, my friends.
