some random thoughts

In just a few minutes, I will leave my office to go child-collecting for my most challenging (isn't that a nice way to put it?) group of the week. Not day -- WEEK! I obviously was not thinking when I scheduled them for Friday mornings.

I hate allergies. I could do without my whole skull aching because my sinuses are so congested. I really dislike missing work because I am sick. But, there are no signs of a sinus infection :) At least I can be grateful for that.

I wore a dress today instead of jeans. I think I am a jean hater. I had been in grad school for 1 year and 9 months before my peers & professors saw me in a pair of jeans -- and several of them let me know how shocked they were that I even owned jeans.

I am stressed about moving to Iowa. Enough said.

I am going to walk to the Shade Sale across from Will's Pit Stop tomorrow morning. I will be leaving my apartment between 8:30 - 8:45. If anybody would like to join me, let me know. And creepy stalkers, my husband will be home, so don't try to rob us :)

I need to score a test now, so I am signing off. Until next time.

a mexican p.s.

Today one of my kiddos told me he was going to Mexico for spring break. I asked him which part of Mexico he was headed to -- he must not have heard the 'part' part because he said : "The regular Mexico, not the new Mexico."

I deserve bonus points for keeping a straight face :)
