There are days…

…when I hate Saturdays. I know it’s supposed to be fun and exciting because you don’t have to get up and go to work. The thing is, though, is that Saturday is about the only day I have to get things done. So instead of out doing some thing fun and exciting, I spend the day doing load after load of laundry, vacuuming, scrubbing floors, cooking meals, cleaning up from those meals, scrubbing toilets, grocery shopping, finding a place for said groceries….

yeah, it sucks.

LOL!!!!

I so needed a laugh at work! I have had so many bad days and just unpleasantness the last few days, it’s been unbelievable!! I get off work at 12:30, so at 12:19, I was telling people, “just 11 minutes until my weekend starts!” yes, very excited about that.

Just about ready to leave and one of the teachers walking down the hall says to me, “here’s some candy for the parties.” and hands me two plastic store bags.  (we are having parents send in Halloween candies to use in the classrooms for the Halloween parties) She hands me the bags and goes into the lounge for her lunch.

I am a nosy person, so I decide I have to look and see what kind of candy these parents bought and sent in.  I check out the Target bag first.

Inside is two big bags of Tootsie Pops.  Also a box of these!!

The parent must have been doing some shopping at Target and did not remove her personal items!! I took the bag back into the teachers’ lounge, laughing hysterically to show to the teacher!!

She about died when she saw what was in there!! She said “I can’t send these back!! I’d be to worried she’ll be embarrassed!” I would have to agree, if it was me, I would want it to never be brought up and have everyone act like it just never happened! but one of the other teachers said, “you have to send it back, those are expensive!!”.

She can’t do it though, she’s going to hide them in her desk for a few days and see if anyone asks for them!!

Can you imagine the horror when this mom realized she sent her box of condoms to the school!!

Here’s to new friends

I have a new friend. It’s very exciting for me. For a bunch of reasons, but I won’t bore you with them here. You’d want to be making money if you had to listen to all that.

Let’s just say that it’s time. I needed a new friend. I mean, I have friends. good friends. but you know how life goes, it’s like a tide, sometimes it goes out and sweeps your friends away from you as they are so busy with their lives.

But this time, the tide is bringing in a friend and I’m very happy. It’s like she actually wants to spend time with me. I try not to seem too desperate, like, yeah, let’s spend today, tomorrow and the next day together, so I try to be casual.  I just sort of throw things out there, like, “wanna come for dinner some time?” and she’ll say, “yes, how about next Tuesday!”

It’s fun. and, the weird thing is, she has the exact same model house I do, so we can discuss floor plans and decorating ideas and I know what her house looks like and I’ve never been in it. I know, it’s the small things!

This about sums it up

A friend of mine sent this link to me. I literally laughed out loud. You have to go watch this. If you are a mom, or have a mom, you will sooooo get this!

For some reason, it makes me want to memorize and sing it to my family!!

Downpour

So, the fire alarm went off at the school today. That’s not so strange, I mean, they plan these things so that the kids know what to do in case of a real fire. The thing about today was, it looked like this out there:

So, we knew it was no drill. It was actually the real deal either, though. For some reason, the sensors were picking up dust in the air ducts and did not like it. So, the alarms went off.

Once was bad enough. Everyone got drenched, it was miserable. But, then it was over and we were getting on with our day. Then, it went off again. So, out we go again. Not raining as bad this time, but it didn’t matter, everyone was still cold and wet from the first time.

I left at 12:45 and when I went back to pick up the kids, I found out the fire alarm had sounded a third time. I don’t know if it was the best idea or not, but they did not make the kids go out that time. I’m glad they didn’t, I’m not sure how much more they could have taken, but I also think it’s important to take each one seriously.

Well, I just hope it’s fixed before tomorrow!

Premiere season is upon me

and I’m not ready!! Usually, I can not wait for the new shows to start.

*Let’s just be honest, shall we; I’m a TV junkie. I’d say the truth hurts, but it doesn’t in this case!*

I am trying to catch up on my shows from previous years before this season starts.  The problem is that I did not start these shows when they premiered in the first place.

Blockbuster sends me Lost, which I watch as often as possible, usually 2 discs at a time.  Once I take them back to the store, I exchange them for  Grey’s Anatomy and then watch that as often as possible.  My goal is to get through all the Grey’s discs before the next season starts.  The problem is that I am only on season 2 and season 4 starts in 10 days.

I believe in making personal goals. I’ve made this one for myself

I’m kind of thinking I just might not make it though!!

Finally!

Got the walls painted! I can’t tell you how much I love it! it makes the room feel so cozy! and it makes my heart so happy! now, all the furniture is back in place and the computer is once again plugged in!

I did manage to screw up my back pretty bad. I have been in severe pain for the last 2 weeks. Finally broke down and went to urgent care today. No pinched nerve and no muscle spasms, but definitely  inflamed muscles.  He gave me some anti inflammatory. Not sure exactly what it is, but it’s also used to stop early labor. I’m just hoping it helps, and soon!

Rollercoasters

I’ve always loved roller coasters. the ups, the downs, the spins, the suspense, the wind in your face, the screaming out loud. I always thought it was so awesome!

Now, I’m not so sure. I think because I’m getting older. More nerves, less nerves? Not sure. but it’s not as thrilling. now, it just gets a bit old and I have to think to myself, “when is this ride over?”

It’s the same with the roller coaster of emotions I’ve been experiencing lately. It’s just too much, too many ups and downs, without enough time spent up, too many twists i didn’t see coming. Too much screaming out loud.

Well, you get  the picture.

Why do today what you can put off til tomorrow?

why indeed! that’s been my philosophy on a lot of things.  Unfortunately, tomorrow has come. That sucks. I have been PTA treasurer this past school year and while I have paid all the bills and deposited all the money, I have not kept up with the books very well.

Guess what tomorrow is? the day of reckoning! I have a report to give and recommendations for this school year’s budget. So, tonight, it’s do or die!

Wish me luck!




this month's nonsense!
