Preschool, Housekeepers, and the Word "Stupid"

So yesterday I mentioned my wine club.  Here is the link if anyone is interested: www.cawineclub.com.  It's actually priced pretty decent.  I get two bottles every other month (can be monthly) for $50.  I think it's worth it...if you like wine. 

Today I toured a preschool with a dear friend and her son.  Yes...my daughter may be starting preschool in the fall.  Where has the time gone??  Anyway, it reminded me soooo much of the preschool I worked at for eight years.  The building was old, the toys weren't the newest, and it was small.  I loved it!  It's a small Christian preschool in Dana Point and I just felt the love when I walked into the office.  I still would like to tour another school, but this may be the one.  One piece of advice for anyone who cares....just because the buildings are old, the toys are used, and the prices are lower doesn't mean it's not a quality school.  What's important (to me) is that my child is loved, properly cared for, and goes away with something each day that she's there.  Also important to me, is that she gets some Jesus while she's at school.  Our plan is to send her to public school for elementary, so having a loving, Christian environment now is important.  I love that she will have chapel twice a month, prayer before snack, and a bible verse to learn each month.  YAY for preschool!!  I just can't believe we are even looking at preschool.  Didn't I just have her??  Where did my sweet little baby go??  Now she's a big kid who wears panties and talks and says NO...amongst other things....

Speaking of "other things," she is really into the word STUPID right now.  Stupid, stupid, stupid.  We have tried getting angry, time out, ignoring her, being nice.... I even told her I was going to put hot sauce in her mouth if she said it again and she asked me if she could have the green one.  Good LORD!!!  While explaining to her that stupid wasn't nice to say and that it is a bad word, I asked her if she knew what a bad word was.  She said yes so I asked her to tell me a bad word.  Get ready for it.... She said F@!#.  YEP.  She went with the mother of all bad words.  Holy smokes.  I told her that F@!# was a very bad word and we should never, ever say it.  She said OK and I haven't heard it since.  Thank God.  We definitely need to watch what we say because she does repeat words.  So if anyone has any thoughts, advice, ideas on how to get her to stop saying stupid, it would be much appreciated.  She thinks its funny, we don't. 

OK, so this is the time when you may think I'm spoiled...and that's OK.  I handle some criticism.  I have housekeepers.  Yes.  Every other week four little Mexican ladies come and clean my house.  I started using these ladies about two months before I had the kid because the doc put me on modified bed rest.  Well, once you have someone else clean your house, it's hard to go back.  So they have been worked into the monthly budget.  Spoiled??  Absolutely.  I would rather go without cable then my cleaners.  It saves a tremendous amount of time.  Anyway, the reason why I am even speaking about them is because THEY DO SOME WEIRD STUFF when they clean.  See the picture below for example:

Look closely at the handle on the left.  WTF???!!  EVERY single time they come, the handles on the faucet are all screwed up.  Really??  Does that look correct to you?  Is this how they turn the water on at their home??  I don't get it.  They are just so rough on everything. 

Another example:

Hmmmm....so it's early in the morning, you are half asleep still....you open the shower door, turn on the water, and BAM!  I can't even get the shower head to stay this way if I tried.  How do they get it to stay that way...facing the door.  I think it got my husband in the face once (what I would give to see that).  Why would they leave the shower head facing the door??  I'm not complaining.  Really.  Sometimes the things they do just baffle me and I have yet to figure it all out. 

The kid is asleep and the husband is downstairs working...I suppose I should do something productive.  I did go grocery shopping this morning.  I think that's all I can handle for one day.  I do have to work tomorrow, so I suppose I should rest up for that.  :)  I did end up telling the husband about the blog.  He read it and actually laughed.  Maybe he won't think it's so lame after all.  Well, at least until I write about him and his obsession...which would be golf.  Then he will be like, "STUPID!" Wonder where the kid learns all her bad words.........?

Have a great day.
