So What Wednesday!

This week I am saying SO WHAT IF.....   - I had McDonald's twice this week...these preggo cravings are killing me - I haven't packed yet and we leave tomorrow night. - Nora hasn't been sleeping through the night this week - none of REALLY need sleep, right? - I'm worried about work - I agreed to chaperone two 13 year old girls on a trip to a dance convention in Toronto...maybe I am crazy, but I really wanted to go lol. - my living room is not clean, I haven't done laundry all week and I'm still in my pj's at 1:36pm - I haven't choreographed any of the dance for tonight's class/solos/duets.  I'm not feeling good today - I'm worried about work (yea I know I said it already, but I'm seriously worried about it) - some parents at the studio don't like me because I don't tell their kid that they are awesome (because they aren't) and I don't sugarcoat the truth. - I look like I'm 4-5 months pregnant already and I'm only 11 weeks and 1 day.  This baby just wants their presence to be known. - I crave french fries and sub sandwiches. And Sonic.  WHICH I GET IN 2 DAYS.  Not that I'm excited or anything. - I'm SUPER EXCITED to be leaving my husband going away for 5 days.  Not that I don't love him but I'm going to see my parents and my sister, which means that if I need a full on break from Nora, there will be SO many people to love on her and keep her occupied that I can take a nap if I want. It really has nothing to do with him.  Although, I'm pretty pumped that I get an entire bed to myself.     That's all for today.   OH and if anybody out there in blog world has ANY idea how to get rid of the "cutest blog on the block" stuff on my blog - could ya help a girl out??  I used one of her layouts forever ago and now I have no idea how to get rid of her logo even though I'm not using her layout at all.  THANKS!!!

Dear Baby #2,

I'm sorry we don't have a cool nickname for you yet.

I'm not down with this whole day/night/all the time sick feeling.

Love Mommy

Dear Hubby,

Thanks for putting up with my crazy hormones.

Dear Bella,

I love you puppy but if you jump on the counter and eat my 

waffles (or anything else) again, you're going to be in BIG trouble.

Love your momma

Friday letters

  

Dear Clinic

 You suck. I've been waiting since 9:15. 

It's 10:36 and I'm no closer to being seen. 

Whoever came up with the brilliant idea to not have a 

nurse be able to do this at my doctors office was stupid.

From angry girl who is STILL waiting. 

Dear dance studio

Don't make me angry anymore. 

I just want to teach and have fun. 

I'm sick of the politics and bs. Get over it.

Sincerely a frustrated teacher 

Dear husband - 

Thank you for letting me nap for 2 hours yesterday. 

It was awesome.

Love your loving wife 

Dear Norabear - 

Thank you for sleeping all night-it was amazing. 

I feel super rested today.

Love your happy rested Mama

Dear Women's Expo - 

Thank you for letting me win a one hour massage 

that I am redeeming later this afternoon! I'm so excited for this.

From one excited to be relaxed even more girl.

Happy Friday!!

Oh and one more thing :)

Dear Lord, Thank you for all the blessings you've given us, including this one :)

Love OCdt and Mrs. H and Norabear

Jewelry Swap!!!

This past month I participated in a super fun swap.  It was a Jewelry Swap, hosted by the lovely Melissa over at The Life of a Not So Ordinary Wife. 

It took a while for my swap to arrive at my house, but that's because it came all the way from NEW ZEALAND!!!  That's right folks, New Zealand.  I was SO excited :)

This is the lovely note that went along with it (which to my person - I don't think I even wrote my blog address... I know, I'm a bad swapper lol).  It's from Chelsea over at Yours Truly.  Check out her blog - she's pretty cool.  (I may be biased because I received some awesome jewelry but I still say she's cool lol)

The beautiful piece.  Super fun bracelet.  Which I LOVE.  And Nora loves it too lol.

The bracelet on my wrist.  It fits perfectly and it's so nice!!  I wore it out tonight to a friend's house and she noticed it right away and asked what store I bought it at.  I said it was an import from New Zealand :)  I would totally participate in more swaps.  I have SO much fun with them.  If you're interested in seeing more of the jewelry check out this post: http://www.thelifeofanotsoordinarywife.com/2012/08/jewelry-swap-link-up.html

September!!

Wow.  I can not believe that it is September already.  Let alone September 3rd lol.  It has been a busy Labour Day weekend for us up here.  I worked on Saturday and Sunday at the mall and boy was it busy.  School starts up here on Tuesday morning so EVERYONE was doing their last minute shopping.  It was tough too because the store I work at was really depleted in sizes and selection so people were getting frustrated with us because we didn't have what they needed.  All I wanted to say to them was "well, if you didn't wait until the last minute to do your shopping, you wouldn't have this problem".  But I didn't say that.  I just apologized and said to try back next week.  Sometimes I think I'm too nice.

I also found out that the dance schedule might be changing again - and it affects my schedule and puts me at the studio an hour later on Wednesdays AND makes me have a 1hr.15 minute long break in between teaching that I don't get paid for.  It kind of peeves me a little bit because I wasn't consulted AT all about it.  And in fact, I wouldn't know about it, unless the other teacher had texted me and told me what she was told last week.  She also told me that there is an issue with the fact that I'm teaching all of the classes for one of the competitive teams - which neither of us understand because she only wants to teach 2 nights per week and is completely booked up on those nights, and she's the only teaching the seniors, and the only reason I'm teaching the juniors is because I'm stuck teaching ballet now.  It's a whole mess.  A mess that makes me not want to teach at all anymore, which sucks.

I should have several posts lined up for this week - I took part in a jewelery swap and hopefully I will receive my stuff in the mail this week.  I also took part in a postcard swap, which will also hopefully be in the mail too :)  I love non-bill mail :)

Happy MONDAY!!!
