at least i amuse myself

i came across an old email and laughed out loud at my own nonsense:

"If I was in a wagon train, I would have pulled to the side by now. I'm tired of driving...I'll live here now. Heh...
We are in macon at the crackle barrow. I have a lovely salad in front of me, all I lack is a fork. The girls are doing pretty good. They are tired and hungry and bored, but behaving better than the child at the table next to us."

Two things:

May 16th is sea monkey day.  My assistant was going to pick some up at petsmart but she ran out of time yesterday.  I'm glad she did.  Apparently, she doesn't know what sea monkeys are, exactly.  She was shocked when I ordered some at toys r us.

A director friend of mine has had some trouble with her freezer.  It seems to be dying a rattling wheezy slow death.  She talked about getting some dry ice, but then asked if I would stop by and check it after I picked up the girls from Girl Scouts.  I have the key and code to her school, so...sure.  I got to the school, let myself in, and checked the freezer.  It was still rattling...and locked.
Hope the food stays cold...

this morning, i walked in on a conversation between teacher and parent.  parent was telling teacher about status of other parent, who is recovering from a car accident.  the other parent almost lost a finger due to the damage it recieved.  so the parent is telling the teacher about the 9 pins in the finger, that the hand really can't be used right now, and that another surgery will likely be needed.  thankfully, it looks like the finger will not need to be amputated, as previously thought.

teacher did a superb job of listening actively, nodding and making appropriate comments of support. 

as the conversation came to a close and parent was leaving, teacher says...


"we'll keep our fingers crossed..."

sigh

being the last orange is a lonely job 

Why is the woman in this meeting so loud?!
Voice immodulation?

it's amazing to me that we went a whole weekend with only one meltdown...and that was first thing saturday morning.

amazing
