Widowed by Compounds

If anyone has a husband that is doing his Ph.D. program, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about when I say that I feel like a widow at times. For some it may be that their spouse has to study all day-every day, but for me it's compound week. Brian has 3 compounds he has to turn in this week. Every time I tell someone that he has to turn in a compound I get asked what a compound is. I'll tell you what a compound is. It's 3am-5am work nights. It's going to bed by myself. It's stress and more stress. It's delayed due dates, lost product, and failed reactions. It's quite possibly the longest weeks of the year. That's what a compound is to me. Now, if you ask Brian what a compound is he would give you a much more complex, scientifical answer that I don't want to explain nor could I do it justice. Just think Chemistry and you'll have an idea. I told him that Friday night is date night. I don't want to go anywhere or do anything. I just want to snuggle. That's it. Thanks compound week....I dislike you very much!

On a happier note, I am grateful for his education. I know that it will pay off in the end. :)

Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam

I am teaching my friend's Sunbeam class while they are galavanting around Europe (not a fair trade, I know.) Well, the kids were drawing at the end of class and there are two of the cutest boys in the class. Lincoln wanted to draw Lightning McQueen as one of his favorite things. Well, of course Ethan likes Lightning McQueen also, so he had to draw it too. This was their conversation while drawing their pictures side by side:

Lincoln: My Lightning McQueen is like a rocket, he's so fast.

Ethan: Well, my Lightning McQueen is WAY faster than yours.

Lincoln: My Lightning McQueen is going to blow up your Lightning McQueen.

Ethan: Well, MY Lightning McQueen is going to grow hands and arrest your Lightning McQueen and put him in jail.

I laughed so hard. I love kids. Where do they get these things? Haha. Ethan had also previously told me that the vent in sharing time blew fire out of the vents if you turn it on. Then the fire would start to burn all of us up and we would have to run outside while the church burns to the ground. I told him that the fire just stayed inside the unit and we wouldn't all get burned. Ethan then told me that he would inform his mom. I came to find out that his mother had told Ethan that if he played with the heater, then fire would come out and burn us. Hilarious that our lesson was on how to be honest. Classic! I love Sunbeams.

What Not to Wear

Wearing pajamas in public: Guilty. Ugly shoes: Guilty. Oversized pants: Guilty.

I can't even begin to describe how much I LOVE this show. I can't seem to get enough of it and I wish I could just live in their fashion wonderland! All I did on Friday was sit on my bottom and watch hours of this show. It makes me so happy. I love their clothes! However, it makes me want to go shopping soooo badly to the point where I can't resist it anymore. Since this show is costing me so much money, I think they should buy me a new wardrobe. :)
