So, I was bitter this week. Kind of bitter all week. Of course, I felt like life was unfair and blah...blah...blah. I have to take some tests on Saturday for my license. I took them in PA, but they didn't transfer to Colorado. I mean, why would they accept the same exact tests?? When I took them last spring (as some might remember) I spent hours upon hours studying. And now I have to pay for them again and take the time to prepare. And to top it all off it is supposed to 70 some degrees tomorrow while I am testing and then 40 degrees and snowy on Sunday when I am off. So, yah I was a little cranky....until I spent 3 hours in the emergency room with one of students until his parents showed up. And then I realized how lucky I am to have what I have physically, emotionally, financially, medically, and so on. I am blessed because I can tell the doctors where it hurts. I am blessed because I can move all of my limbs and talk whenever I want. I am blessed because I don't have people standing around me talking about me and not to me. I am blessed because I am not disregarded as the child that can't learn.
Working with my kids always makes me remember to feel blessed for what I have, and not to worry about the little things. This week I feel I forgot that lesson until today. Mostly, I am blessed because I have family and friends and I get to work with the most amazing kids everyday that smile and laugh all day long even when they can not do things many people take for granted.

A Blog Game...
This is my first blog game, and I am definitely not going to play by the rules because I don't know 7 blog people. I know 3 :) and pretty sure they have already been tagged, but I will list 7 random things...after I post the rules....
1. List 7 random things about yourself that people may not know.
2. Link the person who sent this to you, and leave a comment on their blog so that their readers can visit yours.
3. Post the rules on your blog.
4. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post, linking their blog. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
7 Random Things About Me....
1. I can eat a whole bag of popcorn by myself in one sitting in less than 20 minutes.
2. I love big and dumb looking dogs. I really want a lab/mastiff puppy that Tyler's brother has.
3. I love to walk. I would walk everywhere if I could.
4. I like my popcorn burnt.
5. I like Tyler a little bit :)
6. I love working with the population that I work with.
7. I own more toys than most adults without kids (oh, that does not sound right : ) )

Worst Blogger Ever!!!
Okay, so I stink at this game. It has been almost a month since I posted anything because I am a horrible blogger. And, I am really busy :)
I have started a second job, working with kids with Autism so by the time I get home, play with the pup, and eat it is time for bed.
But, I will stop with the excuses and try to be better at this whole blogging thing.
To start off with - my sister and her kids came to visit me this weekend. They exhaust me. My niece, Mashaela, had a doctor's appointment and so they all stayed in Auntie Anna's one bedroom apartment. It was a little crazy. By a little crazy I mean I might get evicted from my not so kid friendly apartment because of all the laughing, jumping, screaming, crying, and banging.
The kids are all doing great. Mashaela is super smart and just loves to have fun. MaKenna is super cute and as Tyler says would smile at you while she stabs you in the back and you would have to smile back because she is so cute. Cyrus was sick and annoyed his Auntie with a lot of crying, but I still love him :)
Oh, and a 4th is on the way. In August I will be an auntie of 4. Seriously, I am going to go broke spoiling them the way an auntie should!
