Thank You Plunger Stories

Last nite I got to go to enrichment. I have not been to an enrichment activity since...uh since I was the teacher in singles ward. (at least that I can remember). Cody told me, "No offense Danica, but I need you to go so I can do homework." Basically, "You're loud and obnoxious when I'm studying." (only studying?) Well I went not sure what to expect but we made Valentine's cards. I sat down while everyone ate (they only had salads...no thanks) and then everyone came around me. Before ya know it, I'm telling stories about my miracle job as a janitor and how I had to unclog toilets! I had everyone laughing. I was reminded then just how cool I am! So this will probably be the only positive shout out towards my job....thank you for the clogged toilets today so I could make friends!

I just decided my life for entertainment is not complicated.

I'm Gonna Go Ahead and Pout

Ok, today I had a job interview for an Administrative Assistant. Its about 25 minutes from my house and it seemed like a real nice place to work. I went in today as confident as could be (but not annoying) ya know just believing I had what it took to impress the interviewers. Two hours later, slap in the face. Its not that I don't enjoy being humbled, its more like, "Dang! Am I that bad?" I keep telling myself the Lord has other plans for me and its nothing to be bummed about. I guess what I was so excited for was that it was a Mon-Fri job 7-4. Weekends off! Great pay. Damn. I keep wanting to cry and I'll start to so that stress can be relieved but at the same time I can't. I just can't do it. I don't know whether its because I'm so frustrated with job searching and wanting to know how the future will pan out (at least just a little bit and whether or not we'll actually be able to afford our bills on the "above average" cleaning wage that I'm making.) Who knows. I know our situation could be so much worse and its not like I'm complaining about our situation. I'm just having a problem with my self confidence that's getting flushed down the toilet (probably a toilet I'm cleaning). I'm worried I won't be able to find a job once I start showing because lets be honest, who in their right mind is going to hire a pregnant woman who will leave for at least six weeks at some point in time. Not anyone I know of. I even went to JoAnn's tonight to cheer up and buy some material for the quilt but I had forgotten that I lost my debit card the other day. (I found it right after I called and cancelled.) So there I felt like more of an idiot and wasn't too enthused on my way home...and even the radio annoyed me! Oh and did I mention, I heard my bad luck song today. Go figure. A day like today isn't on my favorites list.

Go ahead and boost me back up even if ya gotta lie.

(I think my emotional break down will begin when Cody gets home. Lucky guy always sees me at my best.)

Could End Up Just Being a Nice Thought

This is the quilt I drew that I want to make for the little baby. As you can tell, I'm betting on a boy, but I could easily buy pinks and reds instead. I look at it and think, dang thats a lot of triangles but I'm up for a challenge.

Babies! Babies! Babies R Us

Our baby is going to be a product of thrift stores and if we're lucky, Walmart. Not that its bad thing, just dreams were put to reality tonight when we did some LOOKING/SEARCHING at Babies R Us and Target. My word the necessities are so expensive. Guess I should've been in there two months ago figuring that out haha. Here ya go baby, let me just give up my body for you and along with every penny I've ever earned! While I sat there in the store in complete aw and wonderment and also shock I was very excited. I ran around looking at everything! I tried to find out what I like better, planes, trains, farm animals, jungle animals (for a boy) or which flower pattern for a girl. (Lets be honest, we're going to get something universal but its fun to dream and imagine the perfect little nursery) I think the best part was trying out the rockers and gliders. I love going shopping and sitting! haha. Hopefully I can talk Cody out of the $20 stroller that I think is intended for a baby doll and that its ok to buy quality stuff because we plan on a couple more kids! I know he'll pull through and I know somehow we can scrape up the money. I hear beggers make more money than ever expected. Maybe I'll do that out at the golf resort. The can will read, "Please help support the cleaning lady's baby."

(I accept check, cash, and pay pal!)

Mmm Ice Cream

I could eat all day...or at least think about it because I try to and then I would just rather starve than gag down food. Somehow tho I'm managing to gain weight. Typical. Well last week Cody bought Blue Bell ice cream. Mint Chocolate Chip. It is absolutely amazing and it is my favorite brand of all time. Well we usually try to eat equal amounts but he had an extra bowl one day. I was wanting to finish it today but then I probably forgot what was I was doing when I opened the freezer door. Tonite he pulled it out and got a spoon and was about to finish it off when I interrupted his DREAM. I told him it was mine and I wanted it. He put it on the table and said "fine you can have it" in the most saddened voice ever so I said, "We can share just give me two bites." "All there is is two bites." We started eating as he spoon fed me as I read blogs and I started to notice how my bites were absolutely tiny and his were heaping. I called him out. He knew he was guilty and started to laugh but he finished the last big bite when I had a mere taste!


Oh I just read this to him and if I could record his voice everyone would know he is lying because he is yelling, "WHATEVER! You're such a freakin liar! Whatever! Tell them I'm not a liar and that I gave you huge bites." "Mhmm!" (like a black lady) is my only reply.

The Super Bowl and Cody is Going to Kill Me

Oooook, last nite we watched the Super Bowl as did every other American I know except for a couple of in-laws which I'm sorry but it makes you un-American. haha. But go ahead...have your goals haha jk! (I'm laughing pretty hard at how funny I am right now.)

During the game, I actually paid attention. I knew what was going on most of the time but if my mind would wander for a little bit as to what I should eat next or how amazing our pizza was from Little Caesars...yep broke the Sabbath Day for pizza and Dr. Pepper and it was absolutely fabulous to the taste buds no doubt, or that when I close my lips real tight and push my cheeks towards my nose, I look totally ridiculous, or trying to tell Cody funny things that happened during my day at work...ok ok I really did pay attention for the most part. I called Roethlisberger, Ruthlessburger everytime they said his name and thought I was so clever. Cody has gotten good at tuning me out. I'll be honest, I have to tune myself out sometimes.
It was fun watching the game and understanding what was going on and I'll admit, Cody TOTALLY gave up hope at half time. It was sad how he was acting, but not me. I crossed my fingers the whole time and just kept saying, "Come on Cards! Come on!" Oh and Cody did start getting back into the game at the end and I was so proud to be his wife. Then I started impersonating my dad how he would probably be acting about the million personal fouls the Cards got. He would be throwing his hands in the air, leans up in his chair and this mean look comes across his face, snaps his fingers and throws himself back in chair and kinda rubs his head. Believe me...us kids know exactly what I'm talking about. We're talking about the guy who threw a sweater at a ref after a game because well the ref sucked and we had lost the game. Anyways, we were disappointed with the outcome but eh maybe next year, but only if Warner comes back. He is amazing.After the game we watched The Office. Absolutely hilarious. Dwight is the stupidest person ever. I really feel that those that do not watch it are missing out.

Then we turned on my favorite Sunday night show, Desperate Housewives. Yes I know how incredibly ridiculous that show is and how NOT appropriate a lot of things are but hey, my kid can't hear it yet so I am going to continue to fill my life with crap for a few more months before I have to be the role model in this household. Awesome theory I know. Well in this episode, the mother (completely psycho) of Gabby (main character) is telling Carlos (Gabby's husband) that when Gabby was growing up, she was totally jealous of her (the mom) and would try on her shoes and make up and clothes. Basically describing every girl in the world and how they play dress up like mom. Duh. I told Cody I used to do that also and I thought my mom's feet were sooo big but I loved her black and white heals. Pretty sure she still has them actually and they still are too big for me. Cody then looked at me with a complete serious look on his face and said, "yeah when I played dress up, those heals were a b****." I about died laughing. He then realized what he said and he totally didn't mean to say the b word but man was it absolutely hilarious! He tried to pawn the dress up over to his youngest brother Clinton but I just don't buy it because he was SO serious about those heals
