I was wrong and the anal retentive teacher has the next class. This teacher seem good!! The last one ... I don't know. I know DS's principal recommended her for the job but:
She told us never to use NOT in a multiple choice question but had it 3 times on our final
Made both classes create questions for the final and only used questions from my class
Handed back all graded work after the final.
Does this sound like a good teacher of teachers? Nope.
Bye Cutie Pies. I have to go to work. Remember to tell your cashier how you like coming through her line.
This class hope you like!
It's supposed to snow here the rest of the week. Doesn't seem cold enough.
Our coffeemaker died this morning. Fortunately I was not there to witness it; I went straight back to bed after taking DD to school. DH made coffee on the stove and then went up to the attic and dug out another coffeemaker. Yes, we had an entire new coffeemaker in its box sitting in the attic. Kind of like keeping spare batteries. You can deduce our priorities. Our house is falling down, but we have coffee.
DH has spent almost the entire day getting ready to go out of town for 2 days: he washed the car, went to the grocery store for junk food and bottled water, he cleaned out a cooler, he gathered paperwork for the college in case he has a meeting with financial aid, he packed a suitcase, he checked the weather online, he gathered maps. Apparently he actually inspected dd's suitcase which she had put in the back of the car this morning, because he came in and informed me that she only took a comforter and not a sleeping bag, to which I replied SO WHAT (She is spending one night in the dorms, but SO WHAT--repeat after me, she's an adult now, she can make her own decisions). Now he is entirely ready to go but not leaving for another hour, and he's exhausted. Honestly if this man doesn't get a job or a mistress or something, he's going to be the death of me. Just kidding about that 2nd one. Really.
So, what shall I do with my free time for 2-1/2 days? In the snow? Wouldn't it be just my luck that we got so much snow I couldn't even go anywhere?
I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT SNOW!!!NO NO NO NO NO SNOW!!!-- it is supposed to rain here----such exciting things happening about the cow forum!!!! we can't wait to hear about the choice of schools---just to check---is cowpernboy going to lcp's for sure??? kiwonk---i did have a good laugh about the "mistress" ---good one!!---wabby---i have had the three day headache too----piss me off---i still have a sore throat and practically NO voice but i will have to croak tonight at book club---we read " my sister's keeper" by jodi picoult.anyone hear of it---i want to see the movie wabby was talking about----i am jealous of all those kids in university as well---i told you that step dd was doing a semester in Glasgow Scotland and dd is doing a semester in Denmark right??? I HATE BEING OLD.
I read that book, Bagz. Liked it. There, you can add my review to the book club discussion. The problem with me is that 10 minutes after I finish a book I can't remember what the h*ll it was about. Old age.
I'm missing Schatzi.
I hate to tell youz northerners, but it's beautiful and sunny here. Tulips bloomin'.
I've got to get groceries tonight - I'll give my checker a smooch, ok Peach? (not really)
Ooh, we're twins! My electric kettle died last week. I have a new one now that I did not choose myself and I'm not sure I like it, but it heats water so I'm not complainin'
Yes, I had both of Peachie's addresses in my book and waffled for quite a while before selecting the wrong one. Clever me.
I did Leslie 4 times in the past week and lost a pound but I'm still fat. Go figure.
I did Leslie 2x's in the last 2 days and I'm staying off the scale ---- now that I'm old I no longer am exercising to look good--- it's all about staying alive --- actually my 1st goal is to not have to take blood pressure pills. I'm going to eat healthy so that my DH will eat better and maybe he can keep the diabetes under control. This is what 50 is all about--- talking about our meds and aches and pains!!! I think the boat has sailed on the bikini body.
So glad nobody got bonked by baseball sized hail this week or blown away by tornadoes.
Where is Schatzi? Did she announce she was leaving?
Who would like to pay my way for a semster abroad? Denmark would be fine. I could study political cartoons.
Beautiful prom dress... too bad the store one was make-up stained. some of tghe girls here shovel it on so thick, it cold even just have been from trying it on... but hold out for something luminous.
I Love Jody Picault. stayed up til the wee hours reading Vanishing Act last night. Also loved C. Ahearn's If you could see me now
Have been stretching and gardening. Will measure for a new set of "before" numbers tomorrow evening..... I might need to have a big drink first.
Do you know if any steel gray hair turned into anythig different with the pasage of time? And it really is semi-Brillo.
I'm here my heavenly heffers... I had interviews in Charlotte and Florida last week.. and DH suddenly had to leave on Sunday for Austin for training...so I got to cancel my other interviews for this week ... A goil aftah my own heart! Good girl havin that extra cawfee pot kiwi. You have yer priorities straight. hmmmmm: While DD and DH are away ...it's a purfect time to get at that KITCHEN!!!!!!
Wabby: I read all the posts yesterday but I was a crip... we had like a mini tornado come through on Monday.. All day and night.. Thunder and lightning and torrential rain and wind.. So yesterday I was out taking down broken tree limbs, pruning a forgotten tree, chopping wood for garbage... Weeded the entire yard, And tackled the side of the house that has been overtaken by Monkey Grass... I hate Monkey Grass! So I started at 8:30 and didn't stop till 4:30 .My hands and wrists were cramped into permanent claws, my knees red raw, and my back in a knot.. It was all I could do to just page through the posts
Painty: I checked in yer blog.. Beautiful Pics of the Arbor!!! I may try to talk DH into a day trip to see the Biltmore's and the April flower show there...
Gray and Curly? Can you dye it if you want?
Cowpie: Hope Peachboy had a loverly bday..sad that he wont go to the Prom.. kinda like a right of passage..or maybe that's just a girl thing.... You will be happy to know that when I went mini shopping on Sunday, I placed my cart backwards, as all my items were in the little shelf part of the cart... the cashier was very thankful saying that she wished people would do that , it's so hard on their backs reaching for items... Yes, my girl scout Do Gooder act for the day!
Bagzz: how fabu fer your DDs! Denmark and Scotland ! if I had a million dollars I'd pack up and go on a world tour, then come home and buy a Winnebago and travel about..
Sug: I have Leslies Walk Away the Pounds 1 and 2 miles.. I do the whole tape... I dunno... doesnt seem like enuf fer me... Been going to Curves... April 10th I get my measurements taken and there DAM well better be some change!!!!
I hate early morning TV, all there is on is Stoopid fitness infomercials.. there's one on now for a aerobic workout on a mini trampoline... the bodyburner... WTF??!!! "The bounce that counts" tag line... All I can see is boob bounce, sprained ankles and bouncing off the bloody thing and crackin a hip! Well, it's either this or some Coin auction, or Ginzo knife sale....
Schatzi's back! and Painty's here too!!! Now if we could get Cherry and Lush to post I'd be Peachez, you are not excused from posting just because Bagz and I are whining. If we can't whine here, then where the heck can we? Get back here and do a little whining of your own. We can take it.
Here's my latest whine -- I decided to take anti-depressants b/c I just haven't been myself lately. I'm not at the point where I'm totally immobilized by it, but I'm not feeling like I'm firing on all cylinders if ya know what I mean. Anyway, the Doc gave me Wellbutrin SR (I think it's SR or maybe some other initial) and they just make me feel funny, jumpin' outta my skin funny. It's only been a week, so anybody know if this is normal? I've been trying to figure out what exactly is my problem, but I think it's just a combination of too many changes for me all at once and then there's the big "change of life". No more Aunt Flo. except this month she decided to show up again. I had a really good cry this morning over selling our place. I told DH I thought we'd made a mistake and he said everything will be ok. He promised so it better be. DS was saying how it really hit him when he drove by a house down the road that had always been there, and now it's just wiped away, that he'll never be able to drive by w/ his daughter and say "that's where I grew up". (O Lordy, here come the water works again - not at work, not at work, don't think about it) I can't complain to any of our friends b/c I'm sure they'd roll their eyes and think "poor you, all the way to the bank", so I'm complaining to you guys. I can't see you roll your eyes.
I know this post is all about me, but you can always scroll if you'd like. I'm having an all about me day.
I hope kiwi's robotmaid isn't upset over the coffeepot.
Thank you for your concern. We unplugged her so she wouldn't have to see.

You'd better not disappear. If you do, we'll talk about wise old women and the beauty of wrinkles and I'll send you email copies!

Well, one of them seems straighter now. Maybe you need to relax more!
Hey, pants falling down is an excellent thing! Have you been lifting weights or sumpin?
Uh-Oh. Schatzi's back and all I've done is clear the old mail off the table. Better get going.. ... Holy Moly girl, that's a lot of yard work! Hope you're not crippled for long!
Wabby, I think that jumping out of your skin feeling is pretty normal for antidepressants. I never was on Wellbutrin, but Prozac made me feel that way for a while. If it persists, you might need to adjust the dose.
I seem to be at the same place as you on the menopause track. Nothing for months, then a couple of periods, then nothing. No wonder it's an emotional roller coaster. And I'm not rolling my eyes, believe me. I totally sympthasize--anyone who doesn't see how hard it is to give up your home of decades is a dolt. And hormonal crap just makes it worse. Which could perhaps explain me yesterday: DH and I both drove into town in 2 vehicles so he could pick up DD for their trip to Boston and I could say goodbye. She was still rehearsing for show choir (state festival is on Saturday), so we watched the rest of that, she got her stuff together, said 'bye to the bf (I averted my eyes) and she and DH got in the car and drove off. I got in the truck and burst out crying. I had to start driving home because I didn't want any of the other kids to come out and see me bawling at the wheel, for gods sake. I will never get through graduation.
Wow, it's a beautiful sunny day. I slept through the whole morning. Most of the snow melted, and we have mud puddles again. Well, at least the dog enjoys it. She sits on the steps and chews on sticks. Doesn't want to come in. (and why should she?)
Gotta go tackle that kitchen. I bought a wooden shoe rack to tidy up the mess by the door.
ohhhhhhhhhhh we are all mental pausal here----sorry to peach for whining---i think i know what you mean--i have a friend who is turning forty this year and she is horrified----so i get it-----------however i always encourage whining and i enjoy double doses when i can get them====kiwonk --i feel like crying all the time and sometimes i just do it but i hate that unhinged feeling----------glad to hear painty is back and shatzi avoided the horrible killer tornadoes-----wabby---dd had to stop wellbutrin cause it made her break out in hives---she ended up not taking anything but since she went back to university she seems much happier---i recommend you go back to college and engage in some panty raids-----------{as a victim of course}---------carry on--i have to go see who got kicked off Idol!!!
Peach, if it makes you feel better, we will listen to you about "weight problems". If only I was a lil' bit like you.
My dear Kiwonker, maybe it's time for a late in life pregnancy to get your mind off the empty nest. Just kiddin' of course, although you could pull a Joan Lunden and hire someone to do it for you. It will be hard when she leaves, you know it will, but that's what all that good mothering was for - to give her some wings to try. You can be soooo proud of the job you've done with her. I have deep admiration for you.
Bagz, that's good news that DD is feeling better. It's a helpless feeling to have one of our kids go through depression. They seem to feel everything so intensely at that age. It's either really happy or the opposite. Gosh, maybe I should head off to university w/ your DD, I'm sure she wouldn't mind, and think of the shock when they raid my granny panties.
Doesn't seem cold enough.
A goil aftah my own heart! Good girl havin that extra cawfee pot kiwi. You have yer priorities straight. hmmmmm: While DD and DH are away ...it's a purfect time to get at that KITCHEN!!!!!!
