1. I'm at school right now. Today my kids are working on their power points (though right now it's my prep and my room is empty, hooray!) I love power point days. The kids work and I play and it's awesome.
2. I spent most of yesterday (another power point day) designing buttons. I'm getting kind of obsessed. I bought a badge-making machine or a class project, and instead of making soap, now the kids make badges. So I made a bunch of designs. Sometimes I make them and put them in a candy jar, and when the kids are good they get to pick one. Here's a few designs I made:
3. Afton REFUSES to roll over. I'm not exactly worried about it so much as annoyed. With Nicki's baby Tyson--18 hours younger--already crawling, and Kelly's baby Jenna, three months YOUNGER--already rolling, I'm wondering why the crap my baby is so lazy. She's done it before. But she just forgot how. Yesterday we put her on her stomach and watched her squirm like a slug and whine like a hyenna until we finally had pity and sat her up. All she really wants to do is sit up, all the time. And she's very good at THAT at least. She's drooling like no other now, and gets her whole front soaking wet. Sweet baby.
4. There's this kid I know from ages ago who won't add me as a friend on Facebook. In fact, I think he blocked me. I'm SO annoyed. What the hell? He's friends with other friends of mine. We used to be good friends. But we HAVE kissed before. Think his wife won't let us be friends or what? Makes me mad. Stupid kid. As if I'm a threat now. If THAT is the rule, then he can't be friends with half the girls who went to BYU...I feel better now.
5. Everyone is sick. Last week in ballroom team I had SIX KIDS not show up because they're sick. What do you say to that? Of course they can't come--but what's the point of holding a rehearsal? I'm afraid we won't be ready to perform by January 6th--especially if they all keep missing. Last year NO ONE ever missed. What the crap?
6. I'm reading Fablehaven right now. It's awesome. I highly reccommend it--especially if you are a Harry Potter fan. I'm meeting the author next week! (like everyone else in Utah...)
7. Grr... I'm getting SO fat. I'd thank DeLayna for the clothes she gave me the other day that saved my bacon, but she never checks my blog. (Do you Del? Come out come out! I DARE you to leave a comment and reveal yourself!)
8. This weekend I'm going to a baby sealing for my friend Heather. Her little boy is being sealed to them on Halloween! I'm very excited (if excited ist he right word--maybe honored is better) because I know it will be amazing. Going to her daughter Holland's sealing was one of the most amazing things I've ever been a part of in the temple.
9. I'm pretty sure I lost my ballroom shoes. But I haven't really looked, because if i do then I won't find them and then they'll REALLY be lost. I do that a lot, and I lose things a lot. And I wait so long to look that by the time I do I've forgotten all surrounding events that might have helped me find it. This includes the $600 camera in my backroom. Put it there end of the year last year, now it's gone. Did I lose it? Did someone steal it? Who knows. Gotta file a report on that. And yes, I've told my administrators. Racked my brains, and all I can remember thinking is, "Where can I put this where no one will find it?"
10. Next weekend we're going over to our friends Ryan and Anna's to play games. I love going there. Ryan buys games by the crate and sells them for way cheap at Christmas time. Every time we go over there we play the newest coolest board games. We are in the market for a new game this Christmas! I wonder what we'll get?
That's all for today. I hope you enjoyed my ranting. I gobble up my friends' blogs so quickly--check it every morning and I'm so happy when there's an update (aren't I pathetic?) so here's something for all four of you that read this. Hooray!

I LOVE this post! Sometimes the best posts are just everyday things. I wouldn't worry about Afton either, she probably just prefers to sitting up. Maybe you should get down on the floor and show her how to rollover :). Yes and I was a little perturbed at the message... Brett said "who is Ryan?" So I had to make up dumb thing I can't even remember. But I don't think he really caught on at least he didn't let me know. I would love to come Sat. what time? I will have to see if I can get a babysitter. I will let you know. Sorry about your camera that really sucks!
My Stacy sat up early but crawled late, she never did scoot (screamed any time you put her on her tummy). i loved it. She could sit up and see her surroundings (making a happy baby), but she didn't get into trouble!! My sisters kid were generally walking by the time mine started to crawl.
And if you makes you feel any better, he won't add me either and we never did kiss.
Ah Meg! I know of whom you speak on FB. Some wives are more anal than others but rest assured I never let Greg add his ex nor would I add Chad- both of whom are on Facebook and I know this because I'm curious and nosy. And lame because I gloat that I have 3x's as many friends as "SHE" does.
Afton doesn't have older siblings. It makes ALL the difference. Just watch what happens with the NEXT baby. You'll be wishing for immobility.
So excited for Heather and her Hubs. That baby is adorable and a "Whole Tub a Love".
Clarification- Greg has never tried to add his ex nor she him. Just saying I'd never let him go there which is totally unecessary because he'd never WANT to.
Maybe the person in question and spouse have a 'neither party can add anyone they've kissed' policy?
Awesome post, Meg. And I don't think your life sounds boring at all--just super busy! How do you keep up with it all?
Ya know, I don't really think that babies being able to roll over is all that its cracked up to be. Ryder is constantly rolling his face into a wall, couch, chair leg, etc... Not to mention rolling off the bed--twice. Yeah, I know, I suck. But having said that in favor of immobility in babies, I understand how it is to want your babies to learn new skills, its fun to watch. But laying down now is probably just so primitive to her way of thinking now that she can sit! Which, by the way, Ryder still topples over quite frequently when I sit him up, so she definitely has him beat there!
Can't wait to see you Saturday, thanks for coming, you're the best!
