Good Book & Stolen Candy...

Great book.....
I read the best book (twice in a row) and I thought I'd share. First off, I'm not much of a reader..I have to admit. I would rather do anything else actually! I also have noticed on many blogs out there that A LOT of people LOVE TO READ....and are "all-in-to" fictional things like Harry Potter, etc. Sorry to announce I am NOT A FAN! Must be my lack of imagination or complete seriousness all the time...who knows maybe reading it would fix my many issues:) HA HA...anyhow, I really enjoyed this one! Yikes! I know...people are probably appalled...but I only take time to read the "self-help", "feel-better about yourself", "how to be a better wife and mom" ones! Anyhow...I recommended it to my friend Brittany and she totally agreed...couldn't put it down and was done in just a few days! It is by Robin McGraw...Yep, you guessed it...Dr. Phil's wife...ha ha ha. I know, I thought the same thing....but it is hilarious. I cried...I laughed...and it made me want to fix a million things about my crazy self and helped me learn to accept the other things! It's called "Inside My Heart: Choosing to live with Passion and Purpose". You should all read it....

Yes...this Pictures if of one single mini-Hershey's bar! I have a star-shaped candy dish on my desk at work...and last week we were all dragging through the Microbiolgy lecture. I wanted to teach it about as badly as they wanted to learn it:) Anyhow...I decided that chocolate would definitely help so I sent several of my students to the grocery store to pick up some treats! Well...we have slowly watched the bowl get smaller and smaller since last week...the only problem is that WE ARE NOT THE ONES EATING IT! Someone must have a key to my classroom and during the day when I am not there...they are sneaking in and eating it. Well---tonight we plotted a way to get our point across! We securely taped the last remaining piece to the bottom of the dish! HA HA HA Tomorrow we will see if someone tried to remove it from my dish...and hopefully they will get the hint loud and clear...I am so glad to have great girls in my class! It makes going to work much more fun...


Oh-and jaxson did great at the babysitter's today. (it was my good friend Stacey). He has never been watched yet by someone other than me or jarom...and he did great! He was only there for 2 hours...but to a new mom that is just another one of those "milestones" worth mentioning!

I WISH WE HAD A VIDEO CAMERA TO CATCH THE THEIF IN ACTION! IT CRACKS ME UP KNOWING THAT WE HAVE TO "RIG" OUR CANDY BOWL JUST SO PEOPLE WON'T STEAL OUR CHOCOLATE!..LOL!

It is HUGE! I didn't leave Bobby with a babysit until he was almost 15 months old! I was a huge wimp about it. But now that he doesn't mind it...it is amazing how much more empowering I feel to be able to do stuff like go on a date with my husband!
