Zeke Is Pushing My Buttons This Morning!

Oooooh!  He's making me so mad!  That bad dog!  He can walk perfectly fine but for some reason this morning he wants me to carry him back upstairs.  He's already climbed up and down and now he's waking Jimmy up to get a lift.  Spoiled boy!  I checked the weather too...it is not about to storm so it isn't that making him crazy.  Yesterday was funny though.  We had a late afternoon storm and I will tell you!  It was loud!  Thunder that sounded like trees cracking and breaking.  No wind though - thank you Jesus.  Anyway - poor Zeke sat huddled under the end table in the family room for about an hour and a half...long after the storm was over.  I tried to get him out but he wouldn't believe that it had passed.  He doesn't trust his mama!  Debil!

So today is Eat What You Want Day and that makes me MAD!!!  I can't eat whatever I want!  I'm a fatty and need to watch my cal intake.  If I could eat what I wanted though, you know what I'd eat!?  Hmm...well, for breakfast I'd make fried bread, bacon and eggs.  And I'd suck down a mimosa with it.  I'd have chocolate for a chaser!  Lunch would be a big old juicy hamburger with fries and a beer.  I'd chase all that down with some chocolate too!  For dinner, I have - most likely - some sort of pasta dish...and I chase it all down with some chocolate.  Man I wish I could eat what I wanted and not worry about it.

Well, today is my PITA (pain in the ass) IEP meeting.  I'm actually not hopped up about it.  I made a decision yesterday that I can only put my suggestions out there for what I think is best/right for a student and the parent can agree or disagree (you know maybe trust me a little that I know their kid a bit better educationally) and then we can go from there.  Why fret about it?  I don't know why I sometimes get nervous or worry about what is in the IEP - it's a working document that can be tweaked at the meeting as needed.  At least I'll have my sped coordinator there to deal with the big questions that I can't really make a decision about...that makes it a bit easier.  (Mom wants summer services which is really ridiculous as this kid doesn't regress over summer breaks...well, I should clarify: Dad is most likely pushing this but whatever.)  And if dad is there and being his usual crazy ass self, I'll just kill him with kindness and ignore his rude behavior.  Easier said than done but that's the plan.

Oh, my robins just outside my bedroom window are nearly ready to fly the coop.  There are three and they're huge.  I seriously don't know how they all fit in that nest.  And when Mama comes and sits on them well, my goodness is it cramped.  All the babies are so cute 'cause they're preening themselves and getting their feathers all ready...so cute.  One of these days I'll look out and they'll be gone.

Okay well, that's all I've got.  I wanted to post a video here - one that Aunt K sent a link to on youtube but there was not code for embedding.  Stink.  Well, if you're interested...it's really hilarious and short:  Interactive Conversation with Dog

K - I'm out...later!
