Noon Time, Down Time, Break Time, Summer Time..


I finished up my new classroom decorating today and had the radio bangin' in my classroom.

I listen to a station called Cajun Country, and that is exactly what it is.

I usually laugh hysterically to the guys who talk on this station for 2 reasons:

1. Their accents are thick that I can't understand what they are saying 
2. or they are talking about some weirdo Louisiana topic and I  have no idea what they are talking about:)

Anyway.. this song came on and I started blurting out the words.

Thank GOODNESS no other teachers were up at school today!
Only the principal, one of the secretaries, and some custodians,
hoping no one heard me!

Can you sing all the words?!

Jelly


Yeps.... I'm totally jelly. 
(jelly is slang for jealous for all those old people out there who don't know what it means)

Wishing I was with the fam up in the mountains of ol' Georgia, kayaking, fishing, sitting in Papa's stadium seating around the bonfire, and most of all laughing and cutting up with these folks!

Grossed Out

Warning:

If you have a quick gag reflex, nauseousness, a phobia of yuckie things, easily grossed out, have ever found hair in your food/ clothing/ washer/ vacuum, are currently woozie,  this POST IS NOT FOR YOU.

I repeat, this post is not for you, and please stop reading now.

Don't say you haven't been warned.

(My sweet friend Amanda, not sure if you read all my blog posts, but please stop reading now. I know how you REALLY hate finding hair on anything)


And so the story begins....

Last weekend I was cleaning our apartment.
The kinda clean where you whip out the old bleach stained tshirt and shorts, throw your hair up in a totally embarrassing high pony tail, and pray that no neighbors knock on your door because they WILL be getting sprayed with clorox.

Our apartment was bad, real bad. Dust and grime were on every surface.

I blame Chris. It is all his fault. Since of course perfect me never makes any messes:)

(in all actually I am usually at fault for most messes)

I was winding down, had scrubbed the bathroom till I had no more elbow grease in me, tore through the living room with dust spray shootin every which direction, and our bedroom sheets were perfectly washed and on the bed with out a wrinkle to be seen. 

All I had left to do was vacuum the floors. 
I was tired, sweaty, and burnt out.
A flicker of a thought went threw my head,
I'm just wait to vacuum tomorrow, I've done so much today, it can wait.

But I decided I'd rather be done cleaning today and got out the vacuum.

At first it was sucking up fine, didn't notice anything was wrong.

Then, while skirting across the rug in our bedroom I noticed that it wasn't sucking up anything anymore.

I immediately unplugged the bad boy and looked under neath.

GASP.........

Wait.... ANOTHER LOUD GASP.........

followed by a screeching.... EWWWWW!!!!!

Chris came running to see what was wrong with me.
I'm sure the neighbors below us thought! UGH... finally shes done stomping around up there!


This is what we found...............







It was nasty and had a life of its own. I swear I saw 2 eyes and a heart beat on this monster.

Wrapped around the roller of the vacuum was 2 YEARS worth of my hair.
It was not soft, freshly washed hair,
it was dry, cracked, decaying HAIR!!

AND THERE WAS A TON OF IT!!

Chris had to get out the screw driver and totally take apart the lower half of our vacuum.

I was given the job of pulling out all the NASTY hair.
Hey... it is my hair after all.







Isn't that disgusting!!

I felt bad for our vacuum. ALL of this gunk was wrapped around its roller. 

I guess it doesn't like hair.

Chris was a little worried. He thought that maybe I was going bald, cause it is a LOT of hair.
But.. I don't think I'm going to be hairless any time soon. The shower is not stopped up and I never see any of my hair anywhere except the area where I blow dry at.

I just have weak, puny, brittle, and easily broken hair.
And after 2 years, my vacuum couldn't take any more.




Yes I after the mess all this hair made, I had to RE clean my kitchen and bedroom:)
