Confession is Good for the Soul

Sometimes you just need to get it out, right? These posts will be light, funny tid-bits that will give you more of an insight of who Jessica Calvery is.
1) I still sleep with a teddy bear. I am a grown woman that still sleeps with a teddy bear, and I am not ashamed. It’s name is Sugar, and my “future husband” got it for me. My precious roommate, Amber, got him for me last year on Valentine’s Day along with a coffee cup that you can write on with chalk. She wrote me a letter from my future husband. But really I’m not supposed to know it was her. Shhh! Isn’t that presh? I thought so!

2) I hate the neighbor’s dogs! Like…a LOT! I have never said that about any puppy dog…ever. Even the ones that bit me, but these things are the spawn of satan. Legit! They bite everyone’s ankles and poop on our porch. They’re evil. I’ve begun to bring a glass of water with me every time I go to my car, and I just cover them if they start charging me. I have conditioned them to know that if they come to bite my ankles they are gonna’ get wet! So now, they yap from their yard line. Then, as soon as we’re gone or not looking they come poop on our porch in retaliation. Grrrr

Okay, you're hired. This time though, we're going for the real thing! They're Yorkies. You can take them. :)

3) Seeing fathers playing with their young children makes me happy! This is probably because I know how much children NEED that. So dads that are awesome and actually spend time with their children, I commend you, and I like you a little bit. Dead beat dads, MAN UP!!!

4) I cannot remember anything. I cannot leave the house without coming back at least once because I have forgotten something. When I tell Amber bye she says bye in return but gives me a look that says, “I know you’re coming back”. Ha! I’m like Dory. It’s ridiculous.

5) I secretly want to be a princess. Ha! But really…I want to have a princess type wedding dress with the bunches on the bottom. I want a tiara to hold on my veil. I even like the princess cut on a diamond. Ha! (It’s not because it’s named “princess”. I just happen to think it’s beautiful.) My Daddy is the King. I can be a princess if I want! Ha 

6) Dr Pepper and Mountain Dew are my favorite. A Dr Pepper just for men?!? Pssh that makes me want to go buy one. Lol Tell me I can’t, and it translates to me as a challenge. I know it’s all part of marketing because men think diet drinks are “girly”, but just because they said it was for men I’m going to get one. Hmmmph!

7) I can’t blow up balloons. My throat makes this funny noise, and I can’t get enough air out. I can tie them, but I cannot blow them up.

8) I fully believe guys should open the car door no matter how long you have been together. It’s just precious, and it basically takes no effort to tell her in a small way that she’s special.

Whew! Well, that felt good to get off of my chest! Have a great week reader friends!

What a Beautiful Day!

So, I have not written a post in a loooooooong while, because elementary education has consumed my life. But, I am super pumped that I finally get to link up with Jamie for What I’m lovin’ Wednesday!

 

First, and foremost, I am LOVING that I just turned in my teacher intern assessment instrument and teacher work sample!!! In short, that is a HUUUUUGE project that is the crux of my entire elementary education career at Delta State University, and it has stolen my  life and sleep. I don’t know what to do with myself now. My quality of life has increased MAJORLY, let me tell ya!

Secondly, I am lovin’ that we got the ping pong table in the youth building fixed after 2 1/2 years. I am ping pong junkie, so this makes me happy, and Brad Beckwith (boss) is going down!

I am also lovin’ that last night was Bedtime Story Hour. This is an annual program that Delta State’s Mississippi Early Childhood Association puts on where children ages 2-8 from all over the community come, and they are put in centers with rotations. The children are read books and get to complete activities that go along with the books. They get to wear their pajamas and bring their stuffed animals, and they are PRECIOUS! It makes my heart happy to see all of them. In order to work with kids, you have to be one. I fit that. I wore my footie pajamas and brought my teddy named Sugar.

Anna stole it, and gave it a nametag that read “Anna’s". Ha

There were babies everywhere!

PUH-RECIOUS! His project says, “Im go to git you!” Precious little invented spelling. Ha Man, I love children!

I spent most of the night hanging out with this little man. He is the son of one of my professors, and I want to steal him! Although, he is exhausting, as she will readily admit.

I am also lovin’ that Thanksgiving is only 4 weeks away! Time for good food, family, and friends. I have a countdown going.

Lastly, I am lovin’ learning the rules of football and baseball. Now that I am gaining understanding, I actually am starting to enjoy it. Who knew?!? Ignorance isn’t bliss. Ha Delta State University is number one, and as I watch their games I actually know what I’m cheering for. Ha I am keeping up with the World Series and learning about baseball. I am sad because the game was cancelled tonight. Meh. I want the Rangers to take it all! It’s actually REALLY fun to trash talk all the Cardinal fans around here.

I’m really excited that I got to finally write a post. Happy Wednesday to all!
