A Damn Sap!

 
 
So, I am pretty sure I have some kind of syndrome or something.   It is not life threatening, but very embarrassing.  It happens quite a bit and I hate it!!  Parent/teacher conferences were this past week , and  I love going, I also have a little dread about the damn appointment.  And it's not just parent/teachers that symptoms occur, it happens on other occasions too, because I  CANNOT have someone talk to me about the progress of my kid without CRYING!!!! 
 
It seriously is so embarrassing!!!! Anytime someone tells me something about the kids, I get all sentimental!   We go in and sit down in Tate's class, and the second Mrs. Urrutia  starts talking about him, I get all teary eyed and choked up.  I don't  want to tear up every time someone tells me something good about my kids, but I don't  have the ability to hold back the quivering lip, the big gulp, and the tears!!!  It really is embarrassing!!!  I had to tell the poor teacher before she even started that I am a damn sap, I can't help the emotions!! It just takes over!!  The poor people I am talking with don't know what to do, hand me a tissue, give me a hug, or just give me a look like why in the hell are you crying!!!!
 
The tears are not sad,  they're the polar opposite. They're  tears of  pride, and happiness, and this unbelievable sense of gratitude for getting these 3 little munchkins in my life!!!   But for hell's sake I can't cry EVERY TIME!!!   I feel those things all day everyday, so I don't get why I have to get so choked up in situations like this!!!   I have got to be able to pull it together!! I need to be able to talk back, not just nod and smile!!!!!  It makes me so frustrated!!!!!  I have things I want to say back, but I can't!!!!!lol!
Really ......I hope I gow out of this ......I hope one day I can sit down and smile, and have a two sided conversation in a school situation without feeling like I have to swallow big every 5 seconds, and wear waterproof mascara!!!

Halloween Hangover!

.


We totally have Halloween hangover around here!!! Cally and I have decided that it should be some sort of rule that Halloween fall on the last Saturday in October!!! Whoever decided that it could fall on a school night did not have little monsters of their own!!!!  All I could think about today were those poor poor teachers!! LOL!! 

None the less it was a month of fun, topped off with the annual Halloween party at GG and Grandpa's!!! Their house is always a hit!!!  Full of yummy food, treats, and the most generous trick or treat bags on the block!!!!   I love seeing the costumes, people are so creative!!!  My kids had a blast with Brinlee and Rago, the entire Larsen family.... Shelly, Avery and my man Owen!!!  Lots more came, and I hope a great time was had by all!!! Until next Halloween....... I think I already have our costumes dreamed up!!!!
