Insomnia...Trouble Sleeping...ICE ICE BABY

Well its been awile since I have updated and frankly not very many people read this, HOWEVER my sis (shout out to MEG) is a fellow blog stalker and she found me on her so she better comment if she reads this!
Lately I have such a problem sleeping. Now those of you who know me well know that this is NOTHING new, but its been worse. My problems sleeping can be traced back to when I was a child and counting my moms snores to see if it was safe to sneak into my parents bed and BEGGING my older sister to let me sleep with her.... so until college I RARELY slept alone haha. Now in the past I have used medicine to help me sleep....some good some bad but let me tell you it works...
First I tried these but they made my lips and limbs numb every morning haha

Then I tried this interesting prescribed pill and let me just tell you it made for some INTERESTING events (thats a entire other post haha)

So now I have been using these babies...their natural and I love them ha

Now I know none of these are probably GREAT for me, but until you often wake up at 2 or 3 am and never go back to sleep you cant judge!!! ha

Well the past three nights I have had some sleep issues, obviouslt the melantonin is not doing its job...so I've been waking up everynight around 2 or 3 and not being able to go back to sleep..well I leave the bedroom so my man can sleep and I curl up on the couch and watch my absolute favorite thing...INFO-FREAKIN-COMMERCIALS... l o v e t h e m

I have been known in the past to buy these products from INFOMERCIALS

Now last night ummmm around 3:30 am while I was indulging in cocoa puffs and the boob tube....THIS infomercial came on

Now I know I know that most infomercials are crazy and do not work, however I have had very good luck with most of mine, especially the Magic Bullet ( I LOVE IT) and at first I was like whatever this is ridiculous. But after about twenty minutes and two bowls of cocoa puffs I was hooked and ready to buy Precious (aka Carsyn Cunningham) and my prego sis these videos! Ok so the premise is that through your baby seeing a word on a flashcard, hearing the word said, then doing the action of the word or seeing a visual picture that they will be able to recognize the word and READ it or at least act out the word if they cant talk example: CLAP...It looks and sounds alot like "Baby Einstein" but its oh so different. anyway, the program hinges on the fact that the first 3 years of a childs life their brains are creating thousands of synapses every second – allowing a child to learn both the written word and spoken word simultaneously, and with much more ease. As an educator and Kindergarten teacher I understand this but it still amazes me. I mean even if the child doesnt know WHAT he/she is reading just the fact that they can recognize words and maybe letters its insane. So anyway..... I really want to know if anyone has used this program or knows anyone who has. PLEASE I am begging to know if it really works haha... here is the website check it out!

funny things i heard today from 5 year old minds :)



*" Mrs. Chambers, did you know that Oklahoma is the absolute best state ever!!!"



*boy -"My daddy got out of jail last week"
girl- "Did the police let him out, or did he trick them and escape?"



*Mrs. Chambers it smells like throw up in our room, and I only threw up a little, but it was in my pants!!"



I mean seriously, sometimes I wonder what I am doing with these little people all day. Well, hope you laughed, I sure did!

Ok so our lives have completely changed over the past 11 days. We have made sure all family flew safely, attended bridal luncheons, organized a rehearsal, been ENTERTAINED at a rehearsal dinner, bachelor party, woke up, smiled for way to many pictures, said some of the most important words of our life, kissed, MARRIED,reception -ate cake, drove off, stopped for frosties, drove off to OKC as Mr. and Mrs. Chambers, flew to Mexico, ate to much guacamole, got sunburned, spent time with Santa on the beach on Christmas Day, enjoyed our love while in paradise, flew home, and real life has begun.

Its been incredibly wonderful. I am really bad at soaking up memories at the time. Usually I am so busy thinking/planning what is coming next that I forget to relish in what is going on around me. However, the last 11 days I have completely involved myself in my new life and husband, and it has been a blessing from the Lord.

Annnnyyywwaay.... I will give you a short story in pics...to show you where we started and where we are now :)

OBU FALL 2006..... I was a senior and I met a long haired hippy who cant keep his pants above his undies, and I was enamored

At first I just thought he was extremely interesting and I loved staying up to all ends of the night talking to him about anything and everything....THEN, he left me for Christmas to go home (SEattle)... and I knew I didnt like being away from him.. Falling in love with Evan was a choice for me. After, I saw a glimpse into his heart and had spent countless hours with him I knew that if Evan were to choose to one day love me if wouldnt be able to get better then that...Weeelll it took him longer to decide if I was it for him ha but finally I reeled him in ;)

We went through my graduation, me getting a job, him gone all summer at camp, and he asked the question... FINALLY

........................and I said Yes.............................................................

Then on December 20, 2008 our lives were changed... It was perfect. I will never forget it and stop thanking my husband for making me have a wedding ha

Then we went to what they like to call "Paradise"

And now its time for real life.... Evan and I are so thankful for the past 11 days and so hopeful for the next 1,ooo :)

Do YOU have on your seat belt and bubble?!

The blog world is so addicting. I am in no place in my life for a blog. I do not have a baby, I do not like to cook, and I am not into photography, however, I AM nosy.......and I figured if I am going to read about tons of random people and their happenings I might as well invite them into mine :) Even though my only reader will probably Shan Baby and precious ha

Well, to catch you up, Unlike my "about me" states I am in fact NOT married yet. That activity will take place on December 20th and let me tell you I am ready :) I moved into our new ( well OLD, but new to us) apartment this past weekend and it is already starting to feel like home I just need my man here to help me blog, ESPECIALLY bc he is the writer ( NOT ME).

This first entry I just want to introduce you to a GLIMPSE of my everyday life. As you might already know I am a Kindergarten teacher at a VERY low income school. My class consists of 23 students, 13 African American, 5 Hispanic, and 5 White. Also, for statistics sake I will let you know that out of my 23 students only 3 live with their REAL mom and REAL dad. The rest live with mostly just their mom or grandma. I think at least 5 or 6 of my students dads are in jail. So, as you can imagine I spend 8 hours a day with a fun group of 5 year olds. It is exhausting at times and I wanna pull my eyelashes out if I hear "Ms. Bluberry/Newberry/Teacher again BUT so worth it. I feel like my job is vital and I get to love on the unloved all day long. I feel blessed.

So.... below is a picture of a little boy from my class. His face has to be blocked out but you will get the idea. .... When we walk down the hall the students have to have "SEAT BELTS AND BUBBLES"... this is a little man showing Ms. "BErry" his best "seat belt and bubble"

haha priceless... I swear I say "boys and girls get your seatbelts on in my sleep" In 11 days I'll check with Evan and see if I really do...
