That's not chocolate

I have been working for three days now, and boy am I tired. Tired after three days? Yes! I am in an elementary special education class. I have been assigned to personally take care of a boy who not only has cerebral palsy, but he is also one rascally rabbit. So far I have been hit in the face (twice, not to mention the dozens of random body shots), I have had my hair pulled, My shirt lifted up, I have had a slobber soaked hand wiped across my face, I have been bitten (three times), and yesterday a girl threw a huge booger at me and I think it landed in my hair. I was honestly too grossed out to look. There is also a child who insists on playing with his #2. Yesterday he tried to touch my student with a chocolate covered paw while we were on recess. I freaked and ran to get my kid, and than thanked God (really I did) when I saw that my student was still clean. Fortunately, because I am still new I do not have to deal with Count Chocula. Although I am sure my time is coming soon. Other than that, all is well and tomorrow is Friday and Monday is a holiday. Hallelujah!

Off to work

God is so good. Last night about 11 pm I checked the sub web site to see if there were any open jobs for today. I found three, but one was a long term job, till Sept 29th. Thankfully, I was able to click it and accept it. It is in Alta Loma, close to were Caleb works, but closer to our house than his job site is. The hours are from 8:25-2:25, so I get to sleep in and get off early. I am so glad that for one month I can go to the same school and I dont have to hunt for a new job everyday.
So with that typed, I am off to work.

For you.

1.A man once asked Chuck Norris if his real name is “Charles”. ChuckNorris did not respond, he simply stared at him until he exploded.
2.Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris in stead decided to punch his way out of his mother’s womb. Shortly thereafter he grew a beard.
3.the original theme song to the Transformers was actually “ChuckNorris–more than meets the eye, Chuck Norris–robot in disguise,” and starred Chuck Norris as a Texas Ranger who defended the earth from drug-dealing Decepticons and could turn into a pick-up. This was far too much awesome for a single show, however, so it was divided
4.When Chuck Norris plays Oregon Trail his family does not die fromcholera or dysentery, but rather roundhouse kicks to the face. He alsorequires no wagon, since he carries the oxen, axels, and buffalo meat on hisback. He always makes it to Oregon before you.
5.After much debate, President Truman decided to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima rather than the alternative of sending Chuck Norris. His reasoning? It was more “humane”.
6.There is no theory of Evolution, Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris allows to live.
7.If you spell Chuck Norris in Scrabble you win, Forever.
8.Chuck Norris doesn't wear a watch. HE decides what time it is.
9.Chuck Norris can sneeze with his eyes open.
10.Chuck Norris can touch MC Hammer.
11.Chuck Norris can divide by zero.

Chuck Norris.... tellin' the world how it's gonna be

For my own personal amusement.

Something to think about. Whoot is not fat, but Joey is definitely out of shape. He is really old though, so maybe that is a good reason why he can't walk a mile.

I want to go to the gym without actually going. I just want to look like I go. Actually, I just want to eat whatever I want and as much as I want without worrying about fitting into my clothes the next day.

" I am going to pump you up!" :)

ramble queamble camble kamble ramble

*this arrow is meant to point up to the daily Bible verse gadget*

I love this little Bible verse thingy. It makes me happy when I open my blog page (yes I repeatedly read my entries, mostly cause I think some of them are humorous) and see a little something to encourage me. It also helps me to remember to get off the Internet and go do something productive, like say read the Bible. So yeah, just thought I would drop a little ramble your way.


You know what would be cool, if I could get one of these Bible thingies for my phone. Like every time I turn it on there would be a new verse to read. How like totally Inspirational!!! :)

Give your self a hand

So today was my first day of work. It was GREAT. God really blessed me. I was assigned to a classroom that had some of the coolest teachers I have ever met. (as a reminder: most of my aiding will be done in special ed. classrooms) The kids were really good and I just had an all around good time. At one point I was sitting in the room thinking, "I'm getting paid to do this?", it was wonderful. By the end of the day I was singing songs with one of the kids and every time we would finish he would say, "Now give your self a hand, Bravo! bravo!". It was so sweet.
God also blessed me today with a new pair of shoes, for $3.79 after taxes. Seriously, I have been looking for some cute black flats for like over three months. Today, I decided I was going to shop until I found them. (Can't chase kids in high heels) So, I went to several different stores, but always left empty handed. Finally I went to Koal's and was begging God to help me find some cute shoes for cheap. (haven't got my BIG pay check yet). I was starting to really whine in prayer when I looked down and saw the cutest pair of shoes. I picked them up, they had no tag, I took them to the front desk and the lady at the counter looked at them and then left to find a price. When she came back she said she could not find anymore like it, but she found some BONGOS that kinda looked the same and would charge me the BONGO price. Now, the Bongos were on clearance, but I was not about to pay a name brand price for shoes with a label I have never heard of. I said thus to the checker and she said she would give them to me for $7, I said cool and they scanned the Bongo tag, intending to mark it down another fifty percent. Glory to God, when the tag scanned the price was $3.50. I said awesome and then I asked what size the Bongos were. LOL unfortunately they were nines. I wear a six.
So once again God has blessed the Dillons. I had a great first day, (they asked for my number so they could request me when needed) and I got some cute shoes for less than 5 bucks.

aHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Ok, so I signed up with the san beranrdino county school district a while ago, but I just received my PIN number, by which I acquire jobs, today. I searched for open sub positions this morning, but found none. I searched again five minutes ago and I found a two day position in Hesperia. I took it! and now I am getting nervous. LOL, it has been a long time since I worked for a taxable wage. Not to mention, that with sub positions every job is a totally new site, with new people and new rules. Well I just hope they like me and I dont mess up too bad. Thank you God for providing.

Here is a link to Mission242, a college campus ministry promoted/started by the Rock church in Sac. The site seems pretty cool. I only perused the site for a minute. Enjoy, I hope you are inspired to reach your college campus.

We are back

WOW WOW WOW WOW. PEAK was so awesome. Ahh! I get excited in my soul just thinking about it. You know it is good when you are wiped out tired from the first night. LOL my legs are so sore from worshiping in high heels every night. so lets begin the recap shall we.
Wednesday night was mind blowing. Imagine hundreds of youth on their faces before God recommitting themselves to His service and the preservation the gospel. It is such a wonderful feeling to know that when I am an old old women there will still be churches around that preach what I heard as a youth. I thank God for good apostolic young people. Thursday was even better, there were young people all over the alter just worshiping God and as we learned "ain't no party like a Holy Ghost part cause a Holy Ghost party don't stop". (you had to have been there) Friday night put me over. All day I was thinking , what could possibly happen tonight. We have done it all, we shouted, cried, danced, travailed, what's left to do. Let me say Friday night was a life changing service for me personally. I will never ever ever be the same. Friday night God gave me a revelation of his never ending love for me, of how great he is and how small the enemy is. It was like God showed me some very important things, but I saw it in my spirit. It wasn't a vision that I could describe, it was like somethings were placed in my heart and I could some how see it. I don't know, what I do know is that God is good and we are going to have a great revival in Rialto.

Camping

We had an awesome time camping. In my opinion this was the BEST vacation we have ever taken together. We actually relaxed and did not feel like we needed a vacation from our vacation. God really blessed us this weekend. We got the best spot in the camp ground, we bought a propane stove for $3, we found this awesome creek, and did not get into one disagreement (LOL). I would definitely recommend this camp ground. It was clean and they had showers and flushing toilets.

What if...

What if there was a way for women to carry and birth animals outside of the human species. Like, endangered species for example. Medical science could begin the life process in a dish in a lab somewhere and the embryo could be implanted in a woman who would carry it to term. Imagine; polar bears, bald eagles, kangaroo rat, blue whale, even a dinosaur (a very small one, since we are imagining).

Ok, now imagine that the United States of America offered the following deal to women, would you take it? The deal is: If you choose to carry an endangered species and birth a healthy specimen you ( and your spouse) would live tax free for the rest of your life. Would you do it?

Are YOU my Mother?

(LOL, yes I know this is weird, once again caffeine has gotten the best of me)

Dinner

So last night we (we being, Caleb, myself and jaleah) met my mom by the law and grandma at Farmer Boys. That's right! fine dining at it's best. Lets see, I had a chicken salad and Caleb had a hamburger and fried zucchini. We are moving up in the world though. For our first Valentine's day together (my first ever in my whole life) we ended up going through the DRIVE THRU at Carl's Jr. So, sitting inside of any restaurant is a step forward.

We made it!

Today is our 4th anniversary! to celebrate we are going to take Caleb's mom, Grandma, and Jaleah out to dinner. LOL, ok, ok, we are really going to dinner with the above said parties, but tomorrow we are leaving to go camping at Barton Flats. How romantic! ok, so not exactly romantic (at first glance), but when you have been married this long you don't need fancy smancy hotels to show you how to be romantic. It just comes naturally. So I am looking forward to sitting under a starry sky, near a warm golden flickering fire, roasting puffy puff marshmallows with my husband. Yeah, it will be all cutesy whutesy until the devil whoot (who is going with us) jumps on me, steals my marshmallow and leaves me with nothing but a stick dripping with dog drool, all while Caleb is howling laughing at the whole situation.

Happy Anniversary to Us! next year we are planning to go to the Louisiana Camp Meeting! now that will be totally awesome waasome.

Love convinces you it is ok to listen to your girlfriend and strike a cutesy pose.

I don't know Italian, and I cant read English

On Friday night we got together with some friends and went to see an Italian opera called Madama Butterfly; for FREE. That's right ladies and gentlemen we are cultured people. We go to operas, and not just any operas, world renowned operas. Well at least the script is world renowned, I don't know that the actors are. You know, considering that they are doing it for free. Anyways, we had a good time. There was a poor old chap sitting behind us that had forgotten his reading glasses. He said he was sort of enjoying the opera, except for the fact that he didn't know Italian and he couldn't read English. Thus he was thoroughly lost for the duration of the Opera. Let's see then ghetto Caleb Dillon accidentally rolled an empty soda can down a couple of aisles during one of the more dramatic and intense scenes. (I think Madame Butterfly was killing herself) All I could hear was the clinging of the can as it made its way to the seat in front of us.

The greatest part of the evening was listening to Caleb practice all of the operatic songs he had learned during the opera. You should have seen some of the looks we got as Caleb walked to the car singing the words "Madama Butterflya' " repeatedly. It was classic.

Sorry I don't have pics of us.
(singing in operatic high soprano)I could not find my camera.
