Drama drama drama

I always joke that when I became a Loerke, I inhereted the gene that calls for any and all form of drama to enter my life. I dont think my life was so eventful when I was just an Oglesby. But here in Tulsa, there is some dramatic event happening to us Loerkes every day. Mostly it deals with Matts mom and sisters, but this week the drama bug has landed upon me.

It started yesterday, the first day of my job. I am in the Frog class, which is next door to the Turtle class. My darling Henry is in the Turtle class, and the Frogs and Turtles do lots of activities together. So...Yesterday we took the Frogs to the commons (the play pit in the middle of all the toddler classes) and I look over at the Frog class to see Henry looking at me out the little window on the bottom half of the door. I froze....I didn't know what to do, because I knew if he got near me, he wouldnt leave my side, and I wanted him to have fun at school and make friends. And before I could stop myself, i felt my arm raising and begin waving at Henry. His eyes got real big and he just started wailing!! So i went over there and rubbed his head and said hey and he just cried and cried and reached for me going "Aymuh!!". His teacher said I could pick him up, since they were coming to play with us anyway. Well, when playtime was over it was time for the kids to line up at the door to their classroom, and Henry went to my door. I told him it was time to go to his room and that I would see him later....so he reluctantly went, sobbing the whole way. About 2 minutes later his teacher came in and asked if we wanted to trade Kate for Henry because he was just beside himself without me. So we traded and he cried basically the whole rest of the day whenever I tried to put him down and coach him to play, he held onto my neck so tight....poor Henry. I just love that kid so much.

So today they call me and ask if I can come in early and sub for a teacher, i say sure I will be there after i get my TB test read. SO I make a sandwich for the car and on my way out of the apartment parking lot, my sandwich starts to fall apart..so instead of watching the road I am fixing my sandwich and drive right up onto a big curb and pop a hole in my tire the size of a nickel and bend the rim really bad. I have to call work say..sorry, i wrecked myself, cant come in. Matt had to ocme get me so I could ahve my tb test read before 11 ..........

Drama drama.

Hi ho, hi ho, off to work I go..

Well, drumroll please...I got a job today!!

I will be working at Riverfield Country Day School as a part time teacher in the 1-3 year old classes. They have 4 classes, so I think I will be be in two of them. There are 22 teachers for these kids alone, so I have many chances to be a substitute also. I think this job is right down my ally! I am pretty much decided on getting my bachelors in Early Childhood Development, and hopefully being a preschool teacher or something, I just looove love love little kids! I think they like me too. I mean, i went in the Frog class to meet the teachers I will be working with, and this kid walked right up to me and held his hands out for me to hold him. That happens to me a lot with kids. Some people just attract them, I guess I am one of those people.

Anyhow, I will get to work this job and still get to nanny Henry on Tuesdays which I am so glad about! He is my buddy and I just love him so much! Yesterday he asked me to snuggle with him..so cute. He address me for every request (read: demand) that he is. All day yesterday it was "Amy, big jump" "Amy, chair" "Amy, draw"...Amy, milk. Amy juice. Amy AMy Amy. It's actualy more like Aymuh. I love Henry!!!

Tonight is Bethanys 16th bday and we are celebrating at The Cheesecake Factory! I have never been, and it just opened in Tulsa, so I am excited for some of that!

Mattie has a sinus, ear and bladder infection. Pobre sito!!

Well, I ended up with tickets to the PGA for Saturday so that was real exciting!!

Friday we are leaving for Alabama!!! I cant wait to see everybody- but especially my beautyful nieces and sister!!!!!!! This is my bday present from Mattie. He loves me.

I am looking forward to the Woerner-Q. (thats bar-b-q). Cant wait to see my cousins and get to know yall better!! And talk face to face instead of facebook to facebook. He he.

I just cleaned out every cabinet in Grandma ruthies kitchen. It was the filthiest kitchen i have ever laid eyes on.

The End.

Sea-don't

I rode a sea-doo for the first time in my life on Saturday. I never want to ride one again. My entire body is sore, I had a panic attack, and seriously thought about bailing and swimming back the half mile to the marina. that's how much i didn't like it.

On another note, we are hopefully going to Anniston for labor day weekend. My mattie hasn't even Met olivia yet, and hasn't seen Carly since october, so he is really wanting to do. Any donations to the gas fund are welcome. Hehe, i am kidding.

Nothing is new here in Oklahoma. The PGA Championship is here this week, and I so wish I had a ticket, but i dont think I will miss sitting int he 100 degree weather. The heat came just in time for all the out of towners to see what OK really as like. We've had a pretty mild summer until last week. Now this week we are looking at th 100's, with heat indexes of about 115. YIKES! Thank God for water bottles to mist yourself with, eh?
