Love me some DMB!

Day 10 - A picture of the person you do the most screwed up things with.
I really had to think about this. I went through lots of pics. Lots are of me with friends having a good time, but the ones that make me think "what was I thinking?" all include RJ. We did some weird and crazy stuff in our time. Luckily for us, we grew up.
Day 09 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most.
Top pic is my friend Leah and bottom is Heather. Both have gotten me through more than tou know. I'm pretty sure without them, I would be a completely different person.

Day 08 - A picture that makes you laugh.
This picture makes me laugh because there is a simaliar picture of me like this from when I was around Emery's age. Except in my picture, I have a black eye, a bloody nose, and ice cream all over my face.

Day 07 - A picture of your most treasured item.
It should come as no surprise that my family is my most treasured item. Without these guys I don't know what I would do.
Book pick for the month
My book club chose this book. I had not even heard of it and wasn't sure if I would even like it. A book about the circus in the 1930's? I'm not a history person or a circus person, so what could I possibly like about this book. Um, EVERYTHING! Water for Elephants was great! It has been awhile since I found a book that I could not put down. Even though it hasn't even been a month since I finished the book, I almost want to open it back up and re-read it to see what sort of things I missed. Though I am a tad excited for the movie to come out, I am preparing for disappointment. The movie previews seem to show quite a love story between the two main characters. But the book had a very minimal love story. I mean it was all about the love, but they don't actually go after it till the end. Another thing I found very interesting about this book was the backround on the author and where she got the story idea from. She had never even been to the circus. This is a must read for anyone! I feel like I'm shoving it on everyone I know, but I just love it so much.

Day 06 - A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day.
It honestly took me forever to figure out who I would want to change places with. After thinking about it and thinking about it, I finally decided on Jennifer Aniston. She has no kids, no husband and is super healthy. I would love to live in her shoes for a day to see how she runs her life.
Poop in the bed
There is no secret meaning behind this. This was our Sunday morning. It started out pretty nice. Everyone slept in until 7:30am. That is VERY nice considering that most days the whole house is up by 6:00 or 6:30am. As soon as Dave and I got up, Emery was awake. We took her potty, took off her pull up, and sent her to our room to get dressed. So yes, she was naked running around our room. I got her some panties and tossed them to her and asked her to put them on and come downstairs. She said OK MAMA! I went downstairs to get her drink ready, and asked Dave to check on Emery. As soon as he hit our room he was saying, "Oh my gawd, it's to early for this. Emery! Oh my gawd, Erin! Erin I can't do this so early!" I was like what on earth did she do? And as you can tell by the title, yup, she pooped in our bed. Good thing she is constipated and it was hard and easy to clean up. Needless to say that all the sheets and blankets have been washed in hot HOT water. It wasn't as bad as Dave made it out to be, just a typical day in the Wear house.
Day 05 - A picture of your favorite memory.
I know I look super hot in this picture, but this is for sure my fav. memory. Though I don't actually remember a lot of it, it was the best day of my life. I love you Emery.

My School Kids
Some weeks I am so ready for the weekend, but every Sunday, I'm so ready to see them again!
Work
It was classroom color day at work today. Pre-K all wore red. I don't own red, so I wore a dark pink. But ya so this is pretty much my whole center. I know the pic is small, but if you really want to see it, just click on it and it will get bigger.
Day 04 - A picture of your prince charming
I'm sure the correct answer to this would be my husband, but I don't care. I LOVE Johnny Depp. I often wonder what I would even say to him if I did ever get the chance to meet him without looking like a star struck fan. But that is prob. exactly what I would look like.

Day 03 - A picture of the cast from your favorite show
Modern Family. No comparison! This show is guaranteed to make me laugh every time.

Back To School, Back to School.....
It's not 100% in the books yet, but I have made the decision to go back to school and finish up my bachelors degree. My work partners with Ashford University to make going back to school for employees easy. I will get my degree in Early Childhood Education so I will be able to teach K-5th grade, and get a nice little raise at my current job. My work has a 75% tuition reimbursement AND I have a little over $2300 left over in my college account that I can only use on college. I can't let that money go to waste. All my classes are online and it should take me about 18 months to finish up my degree. I am pretty excited for this but REALLY nervous at the same time. Wish Me Luck!
The No Listening Stage
This has to be the worst it has ever been. Emery will not listen. Oh she hears us just fine. She just things it's funny to say no and run away from whatever it is we are trying to get her to do. I need to look back on my resources and see what can help cure this. Usually if I point out a time-out spot and tell her she will have to sit there she will straighten up. Maybe if I start giving her more options she will do better.
We went on a walk tonight (something I have vowed to do every night till the baby comes, weather permitting) but it was just Emery and me. It was the first time the two of us have gone on a walk alone around the neighborhood where Emery actually wanted to walk herself. It was a disaster. She wanted to pick up every stick, pick EVERY dandelion, and kick the rocks around. What should have been a 25min. walk turned into a 45 min. walk.
It's just so frustrating when I work with 4-5 year olds all day that don't listen, and then I have to come home to a 2 year old that doesn't listen, and sometimes even my husband pretends to not hear me!
I will fix this problem.
Day 02 - A picture of you and someone you're close with
The first picture is of my best friend Heather. We don't talk every day or even every month, but when we do, it's like pudding. I can still tell her anything and everything and love her for life.The next pic is of my other best friend Leah. I do talk to her if not every day then pretty darn close. Now that she has had her first baby, we havnt been talking as much, but she is my forever best friend.
The last picture is of my sister and brother. We have always been close and they rock.
I could not find a picture of my other great friend Morgan who I work with. She is someone I also talk with every day. Not only because we work together but I can tell her anything. She is awesome.
I know that is a lot of people but I am close with all of them and they all mean the world to me.

Day 01 - A Picture of Yourself with 10 Facts
1. I love getting snail mail. From actual people. Bills and credit card apps don't count!2. I love to dress up! I don't get to do it often enough. But I feel it's nice to look nice.
3. Even though I hated school, I have always wanted to be a teacher and teach 3rd grade.
4. I love to swim! Hate the hot heat and the whole having to wear a swim suit, but once I'm in the pool and having fun, it really doesn't matter anymore.
5. As much as I have fun going out with friends, I am completely content and even a little happier with a bunch of friends sitting on a patio listening to some good music and some good drinks. Some of my best memories come from patios.
6. Don't ever tell my husband I said this (and he doesn't even know I have a blog) but I am a terriable driver!! I back into things, other cars come out of nowhere, and have hit quite a few things. Never anything serious, but how do you run into the garage door? Really?
7. If I was ever given the choice to go on vacation to the beach or to the mountains....I would choose the mountains hands down.
8. I hardly ever drink soda. I just don't get it. If I do ever drink one, it's usually a sprite or root beer. No caffeine.
9. I have a huge family and I love them all! Seriously, we are big and loud and all in each others business but I love our get togethers. It makes me sad when they move away (Megan and Andrew!!!).
10. I can't handle it when people cry around me. I get so uncomfortable. I don't care if you are my best friend in the whole world, don't cry around me. It's not that I don't like it, I just get nervous and don't know how to handle it. My co-teacher Laura is trying to prepare me for our graduation because there are lots of parents crying. Wonderful, I think I'll call in that day.

The TOMS search
I saw these shoes in a Journeys Kidz and fell in LOVE! Come to find out, they are VERY POPULAR! They didn't have Emery's size and any of the colors they had. Then when I asked them to order them for me, apparently, Toms doesn't do it like that, I'd have to order it from the Toms site, which is fine, just annoying that I couldn't do it in the store. Anyway, I found some other shoes for Emery to wear in the summer and had kinda forgotten about them when all of a sudden, they are popping up all over my work on the kids! Of course all those parents are getting them from Nordstorms in Overland Park which I live nowhere near. So I have accepted that I am going to have to buy them online. Went onto the Toms site tonight....all the colors I want for Emery were sold out of her SIZE!!! I will continue my search though. Maybe Dillards at Zona will be my lucky spot. If you would like to check out all of TOMS comfy looking shoes, do so here.

Change of Name
I have been thinking about changing the name of my blog. With another little one on the way, I have a hard enough time keeping up with one blog, I may as well join them together. But I want it to be more than that. I also think that with 2 kids, I may need somewhere to vent other life needs. But I'm not sure what to name it. I'll be thinking and designing a new logo.
March of Dimes March for Babies
This year will be the 3rd year I have walked for the March of Dimes March for Babies. I am a little more proud this year though because my work has gotten involved and we will all walk together. Together we have raised more than $400 dollars. This will help so much and selfishly, makes me feel really good that we have done so much. If you want to come walk with us, the walk is May 1st, downtown KC Power & Light District. If you would like to donate to this cause you can do so here.
