Remember last year’s WORST APRIL FOOL’S JOKE ever…..  I so wish it had been an April Fool’s Joke!

I woke up so crabby today.  I wonder  if subconsciously this had something to do with it… or the fact of dreading to go to school and teach middle schoolers on April Fool’s Day!  😉  Either way, I need some “uncrabby” potion.

News on our homefront.  Punky has been wearing underwear!   🙂   He’s such a proud “big boy!”  He asked to go potty standing up the other night.  I said, “Sure, let me show you how….”  Hubby called out from the living room, “Oh, this ought to be interesting!”   🙂  I didn’t even think of the irony!   😉  But, Punky did it….. and was on cloud nine!

We’re heading home to IL at the end of the month for my nephew’s 3rd birthday.  🙂  I can’t wait!

It’s state testing time again at school.   Ugh.   Remember my feelings on that?

Man, I am crabby today!  See?!?!?

Punky painted my nails last night (using his orange bath tub crayon).  He told me “they the color of Cheez-Its, Mama!”  Made me laugh!   He helped me scrub that off before we drained the bath tub!  My fingers looked like they had been in a bag of Cheetos for 2 hours!

In an effort to bring a smile to this crabby face….I’ll leave you with some of my recent  favorite photos from my 365 Blog...  (If you haven’t been over there…..go take a look)

Have a great day…..I feel better already!  🙂

    I hope your crabbies have subsidded a bit and if not that is ok too..sometimes we owe it to ourselves to feel what we need to feel so that we can heal…if that makes any sense. I know I have definitely had my share of sad days and tears and always felt better if I allowed myself to feel sad and mournful in the moment …you know..actually feel it…then I got to actually feel happy when the moment passed too…

    OK I’m playing catch-up as ever. I saw that you were “Crabby as hell today” on twitter and assumed it was caused by the Clomid and decided that it was best left alone, I am so sorry to hear that it was a year since that awful news.

    Your pictures are wonderful hopefully they helped make you smile … they certainly made me smile.

    So I am sending lots of love over the ocean and sincere apologies for being a bad blog buddie and I hope we get some news to make you smile soon.

Let me know what you’re thinkin’!
