Oh, hey there little cricket! Today a giant cricket was in my room at work today. I pointed it out to the kids like I wasn't even scared and they all came over to look at it. When they tried to squish it I gave it the "it's just a poor helpless insect, how would you feel if you were treated like that?" lecture and we decided to catch it to let it go. This cricket was literally the size of a small cell phone and could jump like no other. I had no idea crickets could jump like that. Maybe it wasn't even a cricket. It was naaaaystay. To make a long story short, after several attempts to catch it in a plastic cup and me having a few bursts of uncontrollable screams, it was caught and taken outside. After being on the ground for 1.2 seconds a little evil boy ran over and stomped on the poor little thing. We gave it so much hope that it was going to life and be free again...and it was crushed. Literally.
So for a quick update on life right now.. not much! We've started summer club (like I've said before) and it has been crrraaaazzzyy. With people quitting and having over 100 kids each day I'm just excited for summer to be over. That's really sad when I think about it.. I'm excited for summer to be over??? Strike that! Reverse. I'm so excited it's summer and wish it would last foreeeevvvveeeer! Really though, 100+ sweaty kids in the same building for 12 hours = one stressed out me. Good thing I'm only there for the last 7 hours of it...eeek.
So yeah, I've just been working. And Pete's just been working. That's our life right now. Hopefully some day it will become more than that but for right now I think we're just trying to save up money and figure out our next plan of attack--BOOM! I can't wait til I can get on here and post a bajillion pictures of the cool places I've been and things I've seen like everyone else always does. And when my children cure cancer and I end world hunger I'll post about that as well. For now, this is what you get. Cricket stories.
Tomorrow is Thursday. I'm excited for a few different reasons. One, it's closer to Friday. And two, it's garbage day. It's always a good day to get all the garbage out of your house. Am I right or am I right? And three, I get to go swimming! That's right. Even though some days I just want to cry because dealing with crazy kids all day can be super stressful, there are definitely the perks. Like quick revive and juggernog. Tomorrow I get to take a few of my kids swimming at the Brigham City Pool. We went last Thursday and it actually went just fine. No one even died or crapped in the pool. Hopefully tomorrow will go smoothly as well. I just love my chillens. Can I just repeat that some more? I work with the best (and yes, craziest) kids in the world.
So I haven't been blogging lately for some reason. I feel like I have too much going on in my life even though I really don't. Pete has been sick for like three weeks straight and I had some weird stomach bug Sunday. Good news though--we are both pretty much betttttttter! Hiiiiya!
My brain is a little scattered right now. I'm thinking about work, money, babies, music, a;ldkjf;asdjfla;ds;f. That's why the title of this post is just that. It's my brain right now, and lately.
More things I'm thinking...
I suck with gifts. I want to work. I don't want to work. I want a baby. I don't want a baby. I need to workout. I love junk food. Mmmm potato chips. I'm SO stressed! I'm so bored. What should I do? I have too many things to get done! I want to write a book about zombies. I want to be an artist. I should go to graduate school. I wanna be a stay at home mom. I'm hungry. I'm full. I'm hot. It's chilly. I wish I had a new phone. I don't need a new phone. I want to be a therapist. I want to travel. I hate leaving my house. Sometimes, I suck at life.
See? There ya go. a;ldkjfa;lsdf ;alsdjf;asldf
On to the next!
10? I think I'm on 10 with this blogging challenge ring-a-ding-thing? I don't think I'll ever finish. I mean, YES I CANNNNNN!
10. Describe your most embarrassing moment.
When I think about this I don't really have any ultimate, traumatic, life-impacting embarrassing moments, just a lot of small ones I can't really seem to forget. It seems like when you're a person who has anxiety, or social anxiety, embarrassing moments are a daily occurrence. I feel like I'm always saying something and then looking back at the conversation and feeling like a complete moron. One embarrassing moment I will never forget is when I was just first dating Pete and we were going to to meet his mom's side of the family pretty much, at some sort of get-together. I was nervous because I wanted them all the like me and I didn't want anyone to know about the freak that I really am (mahaha) so I tried acting all nice and bubbly (why do I do this when I get nervous? Great question. I have no idea.) So Pete went outside and left me inside with all of his family--rude, you just don't do that to a girl. All of a sudden, one of his cousins looked up from a photo album he was looking at and yelled someone's name. I had no idea who he was or who he was talking to but I literally thought he was looking straight at me. I asked, "What is it?" to try to figure out what he was even talking about. He looked at me super confused and asked if my name was the same name he was calling (his wife's). I said no, but he kept calling for the person kind of and looking RIGHT AT ME. (I later was told it was because I was sitting right in front of the screen door, his wife was outside). Also, I'm leaving out names because I still feel like an absolute moron. Anyway! So he looks at what I thought was me, again, and since I didn't want to be rude if he was for some odd reason talking to me, I went over to look at the photo album like he was saying. This is in front of Pete's entire family and they all just watch me like a freak. I sit down as he awkwardly flips through a few pictures and wonders what in the BLEEP I am doing. His wife then comes in, I mumble some awkward words and run back to my seat so she can sit by her husband, like he was asking. Now, this all sounds probably kind of confusing and maybe you don't even know why I did what I did or why it was so embarrassing. I'm just a freak. That's all there is too it. Shmeeble.
Other embarrassing moments...
Being de-pants by my younger sister in front of one of my best friends in middle school. Bare-butt-naked.
Countless times misunderstanding people because I'm too focused on not misunderstanding them.
Farting in front of people I wish I could never fart in front of. Seriously, sometimes you don't even see em' coming. They just sneak right out with the intentions to ruin your life. WTF.
Bursting into tears at a family Christmas party over a stupid joke and refusing to come out of the bathroom.
Bursting into tears at a work meeting. It's like my go-to thing, I guess.
I'm sure there are many, many more. I'm honestly quite happy that none of them are coming to mind right now though, maybe I'm not as traumatized about things as I usually think I will be. If I remember them, I'll be sure to come back and post em!
