i am SO OVER being special helper at preschool - not cursing for 3 entire hours is not only impossible, but it gives you a headache for the rest of the day. cursing is just the opposite of smiling - like when you use emoticons during typing, which i do a lot :) see? part of the headache, it's true, was caused by tying 38 shoelaces over and over and o-v-e-r again in the 100 degree heat while pretending to be loving every minute :| yes, children you are just precious - now run along!!

i wonder if faking one's own kidnap is a crime? i could leave a note pinned on Danny saying i was abducted but will be back to pick him up as long as they don't call the police?! i am so serious. that playground is HOT. those kids have no mercy. they want to be pushed on the swings and i am the only sucker who will stand out there and do it. do they know i cry when i get home because of their playground bullying ways???

maybe if i took my camera to class i might be happier...? it's like a snuggie to me. taking pictures is technically like a morphine drip. which reminds me - i must take the BIG aleve today. how do teachers do it? they must be drugged to the max every day to survive :|

i got no sleep. Danny coughed every 28 seconds all night. i gave him medicine. which i NEVER do because it's like giving medicine to a wild thrashing wildebeast. i said he couldn't go to school in the morning and i couldn't be special helper (whoohoo!!) if he didn't - he loves me being special helper - "vis, kids, is Mrs Momma!" he introduces me as :) he immediately gulped it down. i praised myself for being so very clever and stupid all at the same time. until... the vomit burp... and the huge bulging monster eyes that are unforgetful and terrifying and mean only one thing.... hurry!! get towels!! bring buckets!! stand back!!! and....... baaaarrrrf!!!! gallons of it! everywhere!! all over the bedding, toys, blankets, dinosaurs :( all the color of delsym cough suppressant :|

what to do... i know this is all a result of the stridor/flu shot..... i want to go and get my special helper duty OVER and DONE WITH. i am NOT a shirker!! i will be there!! but so many things point to staying in bed watching Andy Pandy with a bucket of icecream (for the sore throat ONLY) urgh, being a mom SUCKS!

in other news i had cinnamon toast crunch for breakfast. i now will only eat my cereal without milk as part of my calorie controlled diet. it tastes so much crunchier! who knew!!!
