so... no word of a lie, my favorite feeling is when i'm really sad but equally as happy at the same time. it can be a confusing feeling sometimes but i love it...
i'm super tired now, having spent the night with a bunch of drunks (being sober, myself... my parents would be so proud. i'm not always the lush they like to think i am... haha) but i had to share this somewhat funny story from my day before i head off to bed.

i was working today with a boy who has cerebral palsy and down's syndrome. he's a really sweet kid and he really really does not like obnoxious loud noises... especially when he doesn't know where the noise is coming from. he has a really hard time communicating with words as well... like, he's really good at letting you know what he wants, how he feels, etc. but usually it's with actions, motions, and stuff like that. SO... we were sitting in the living room, QUIETLY playing, and i guess it must've been around 2:30-ish. guess how i know that it was actually exactly 2:30... i'll tell you how! because all of a sudden we were assaulted by the very loud, very obnoxious sound of Hallelujah! belting out of my sweater pocket which coincidentally held my 'mobile phone'. needless to say, he was not impressed with this at all and started getting visibly upset... i didn't know what to do! i was trying to muffle the speaker on my phone with my hand, knowing that if i took it out of my pocket it would just get louder, but it just would not stop. finally i made the decision to get rid of the phone so i flung it into the family room at the front of the house at which point the battery fell off and the 'music' stopped. i breathed a sigh of relief. it took me about another half hour to calm the child down... but not until after his ten minute tantrum. good times!
you may now be wondering what was going on with my phone... well, i'll tell you. somehow the alarm (that i NEVER use) got itself set for 2:30 pm DAILY ... somehow... and i was sure that i had turned that off like, 3 days ago, but i guess i actually hadn't and i just never happened to be around my phone at that time for the last couple of days. it was really awesome. i mean, it's a little bit funny now as i tell the story but at the time, with a shrieking child's screams getting louder by the second, it was not quite so funny...
