It happens...

I often have very vivid dreams.....well as many of you know New Moon came out last saturday....of course I know own it....it blu ray!! Well after watching it this weekend.....I was having a dream about being a vampire.....and well i bit jeff's hand.....he woke up and was not happy with me. I was still barely awake as he screamed i had bit him.........waking up the dogs.......so he was forced to walk them. It happens......

Found my purse under the mattress...

So Friday night we went downtown Cedarburg. A great time........but here the story begins on the call of bar time. Chris says he is getting my coat....I think "how nice"....I then turn around and Chris has bolted out the door in my warm winter coat. So Jeff being a gentleman gives me his North Face. We walk....lose Chris and split up into two groups to walk two different ways to see if we can find Chris. (I give Jeff back his North Face telling him my purse is zipped up in the pocket. We speedwalk back to the house to find Chris already home. (I walk Payton then head to bed.) Jeff's group of him and Bobby reach the house sometime after this.....the next morning I wake up and my purse is MIA!!! I don't freak out...worse case scenario I am out a twenty dollar bill, a drivers license, and my phone. Only later do I remember my camera is in the purse....and that losing my phone means losing ALL MY NUMBERS!....anyway everyone pitches in to search (thank you everyone) we do not find it.....jeff remembers Bobby complaining about it beeping on the way home near the house. So.......we think its somewhere in the house...of course it is dead so calling does no good.....Anyway....at the end of the day I decide that I will go room by room just one more time.....for some reason I life the mattress because jeff says he thought he threw my purse at me when he got home because he was mad I was sleeping already while he was walking home....haha AND UNDER THE MATTRESS I FOUND MY PURSE.....how it got there is beyond me...but I was overjoyed at finding it . (Jeff said that since it was found I was then in trouble for the five slaps I gave him at the bar.....which BTW I now know why Sam finds slapping so much fun....)
Lastly, I would like to say that I dislike Donald Trump, but watching everyone diss on Blago is HILARIOUS!

Best Bar Ever........

We decided to head to Milwaukee last minute yesterday, Ally couldn't come to visit so we had no plans (good news Ally made plans to visit us next weekend!). So we drove the 4-5 hours to Milwaukee last night with Payton. (We brought Payton to socialize with two of my favorite dogs in the world ....Carter and Zoey!) Anyway, so the group decides to do the bars in Cedarburg (Just realized that as I suck at Spelling I cannot spell Cedarburg for sure) So we get to our last bar for the night and Krista says "I knew YOU would love this bar" and I am thinking it just looks like a Townie bar. Then this big Rottweiler walks around the corner!
YOU CAN BRING YOUR DOG TO THE BAR!!!!!!!
It was amazing, the bar does not serve food so dogs are allowed. I hope we get back there sometime to take Payton! She would love it!
The other thing that is AMAZING here in Cedarburg.....CANDY APPLES! Which we are suppose to go get one today...a little pricey but amazing.
Oh and I slapped Jeff like 5 times last night just because it was fun....I know understand Sam's slapping obsession....and when i told jeff he could slap me back he said that they would prolly beat him up for slapping his wife...oh double standards that work in my favor....

My name is Jessica.....and I'm a tvaholic

My mom has ALWAYS jokes about how much I love television. I can literally get hooked into a show by just sitting down for a minute and tune out the entire world (The tuning out part is the part that I believe annoys my mother the most) For instance, Karl loves Bonanza One day he was watching it.....I was in the room...my mom started talking to me and I was oblivious because I was trying to figure out what was going to happen on Bonanza. Which btw I rock at figuring out how kill them.....the twist that is coming next...if only that was a job too.....maybe I should write tv?
I knew I could spend a day watch Law and Order Marathons (minus Criminal Intent which I don't like and that says a lot about how bad it is) or Lifetime movie marathons.......but it wasn't until I got DVR that I realized how bad my love for tv was. I can admit that I would at times a couple nights a week Tape a show on my VCR and watch the other show I loved in the other room. But with DVR I can tape two shows....and watch one I have taped with no commercials. Once I even had two taping and watched a third in the extra bedroom.
I would like to say that this post is not about quitting tv or even wanting to.....it is merely admitting that there is a problem.
I love my DVR and thank goodness that Jen told me how wonderful Direct TV is!!
So tonight as I watch Grey's, Private Practice, and The Office please know that I will enjoy every minute of it. and tonight isn't even a busy television watching night that's Monday and Tuesday.....
(Good news though I have started walking a mile every morning and every night....with the tv of course :) Haha and have stuck to it for three days so far)

All I want is a Fridge!!! AHH!

So...about a week and half ago our 2.5 year old fridge stopped working. So.....we called a repairman and he came out Saturday to tell us that it would cost 850 to fix....WHAT?!?! So needless to say we went fridge shopping saturday night.....being an adult sucks.
Sears wouldn't delivery until the 19th so we bought our new one with a five year warranty at Best Buy delivering Thursday! So a few more days of living like we are Amish! YUCK!

Annoyed and Disgusted

So......bullying is a real issue...as we have learned through several devastating events that have happended in our school systems..."it doesn't happen in our school" is not an acceptable answer because it is.....even in our small town schools........the escaltion of bullying can happen quickly and under the nose of adults including parents, teachers, principals and so on.....If you repeatedly have students getting punched or hit then clearly your anti-bullying messages are not getting through. I don't care about these individuals sad stories....we all have them...but to use it as an excuse or crutch does not help the individual because when they are adults and have committed a crime...the law does not care about their sad sob story. It is time to teach our youth to be accountable and chose right from wrong. Do I as an educator wish that these values would be taught in each home...yes but the reality our educators are facing is that for some students only school provides structure and support to instill in them a sense of how to become successful human being that can make good decisions.....
Do you know that thanks to our love for research based everything in education that anti-bullying programs can be found today that are research based! GOD BLESS AMERICA. we in 2010 are past saying "boys will be boys" or "well it happens"
So for one certain school and its principal.....let's step into 2010 and realize suspending students doesn't alone solve the problem......let us re-evaluate our program and watch our students more carefully...because if our current policies were working....I would not be upset today nor writing this post......Let's have team building excersizes within grade levels.....let's attack bullying from every angle possible........get the community involved.....do whatever it takes
Schools today are more than formal learning.......they need to be a community center...perhaps it's a lot to ask of our schools but I feel it is the right thing to ask.....

It's Monday Again....Already

Why is that the weekend goes by in the blink of an eye...yet my Monday-Friday seem to take FOREVER! It's a cruel joke really...and i'm not laughing
Saturday I had lunch with Danielle, Dawn, Jessie & her girls, Cassidy & Parker, and Jeff too at the Pizza Co....It was a lot of fun! First of all Jessie's girls are too cute....and Sophie kept kissing Parker....mind you we kept encouraging it but it was too cute! Parker wanted to run around the bar.....I told Cassidy he was definitely Jake's son :)
Sunday the Cismesias visited! We went to the home show....there is tons there! We got information on a windmill to do our electricity in the future....and such......Then lunch at Hoops...it was great! I had always heard great things, but never eaten in there :) Then home to watch the rest of the USA vs. Canada game......and to let Poochie visit with Char.... :)
Overall a great weekend!
love, me
