Fml. An MTA bus sideswiped me on my way to work this morning. He wouldn't stop. I finally got him to stop 10 blocks away from where he hit me. We pulled over, but once I looked for damage there was only a scratch on my left mirror. I was not waiting for the cops for that shit.
There are cameras on the outside of the busses if there is any real damage that I can see in the daylight. But at that moment I just wanted to get to work.
I was incredulous. He was not owning this at all. Like dude, you side swiped me! He's like really? I didn't know. I'm like, well I certainly couldn't pull my mirror in while driving. He finally gets out of his bus and is like welllll we can call the authorities and have the MTA pay for the damage, but I don't know how long that would take.

WTF? I am sorry, that is not a good start to the day. You are ok though? I mean you didn't get hurt?

"I was thinking about getting off on demand, but it sounds like I should be glad that I didn't"
I don't feel like going to work today. I'm exhausted and my class this year definitely needs a lot more redirection and constant feedback to stay on task than last year. I keep looking forward to when out schedule falls into place and the kids just start going with the flow so I can ease up a bit, but I don't think that's happening this year. Ugh. That's my least favorite thing about teaching- H can have a stressful day at work, and then maybe take it easy the next day, but if you get a difficult class? That shit is all year.
I have my dr appointment for my knee on Thursday and I don't know what to wear. I have to go to work afterwards- can I wear a dress? Should I wear something else and bring a change of clothes?
vicky, I had a funny random moment tonight that involves you. I was looking up new fall hairs, and well I saw a pic of britney. I enlarged it, because I thought to myself "omg she looks so much like vicky. same facial expressions and everything" Hush, I blame it on my sleepiness. lol ::face in palm::

I like how the driver was all "well we COULD report it but you know the MTA..."
Dude.
I assume you're ok though, since you're here and posting? Sorry you had such a sucky start.
I think I have forgotten how to sleep. I don't know what to do with my arms. Half the time they end up over my head and they fall asleep. And our new mattress is a freakin furnace, it's so hot!
WHY did my kids, who are both generally really good sleepers, both decide that last night was a good one to be up three times?
Where did fall go? I've been purging my closet, getting out fall stuff and putting away summer clothes, and it's going to be in the upper 80s today. WTF.
Thank God I was excepted from the furlough. Getting paid is really great, but moreso, I don't think I can spend that much time around H while he's furloughed. He's of course entitled to be upset and vent about it, and should be, but I can't listen to it all day every day.
Dog decided 2 am was the best time to run around, play, and bark at things. Because why not?
My stepmom had her sister and her best friend die within two weeks of each other. We may not see eye to eye all the time, but my heart breaks for her right now.

I am proud of myself that I am up and dressed and ready to start my day nice and early (considering my usual schedule involves going to bed at this hour). But the next two days I have to be up INSANELY early to teach a class, and I still have slides to review today.
I know I need to just suck it up and get my review done so it's not hanging over me, but I am such a procrastinator and I don't want to.
I am so over having to get up and go to work. Friday cannot get here soon enough. Then I have 12 glorious weeks with no sleep and a newborn before I have to go back. Lol
I am just really uncomfortable and yesterday I was opening a door into my office and it hurt my vag. So without thinking I just kind of groaned. My boss was on the other side of the door. She was super nice and asked if I just wanted to go home but I was mortified.
My cousin sent me an IM yesterday about how she couldn't take the politics from "both sides" on fb and she also posted something similar on fb. I sent her a shitty response that basically said it wasn't both sides and the people bitching on my fb were mostly out of work right now so I would forgive their incessant posts. I then left because I had to go to the doctor. She freaked out like an hour later and was all don't hate me I deleted my post. I sent her a text and said "I am an adult Facebook doesn't offend me and I am not mad". This was particularly mean because she just got into a fight with a friend over fb and they aren't friends anymore. I find it so ridiculously high school that I couldn't help but respond that way.
I need to get a handle on my house. I am managing to stay on top of the basics thanks to my dd but it needs a deep cleaning so bad. I just don't feel right when the house isn't how I want it. Blerg...
I had a dream about an ex from when I was in high school last night. I blame it on the HS post, lol. Can we do a college post next? I would much rather dream about that ex.
Leo has been sleeping in until 7 am all week. I am going to be doubly pissed when he wakes up at 5 am on Saturday morning because that ALWAYS happens. ALWAYS

My mom's been complaining of the same thing this year, meg! She teaches third grade.
BE GLAD Lucy doesn't go to your school, lol. She's a pain in the ass!
My randoms:
I have allllll afternoon to dick around on here, I'm giving an exam in my architecture classes. My ipad is all charged up and waiting for me!
I just typed up a release form for my cheerleaders to participate on a team tumblr (PW protected, edited by me) and for me to be able to text them if I need to. Never had to do this before. THANKS POPE JOHN PAUL II/BENEDICT XIV/OBAMAbecausewhynot?
I'm still kinda high from my neighbor telling me I looked cute yesterday.

That sucks vicky.
I am so annoyed by everyone in my toastmasters group right now. I really want to switch clubs, but I'm an officer so I can't until after elections next June. They all act like it's the most important thing in the world, and it's driving me crazy.
Last night DH had to work late - so I was able to watch Saved by the Bell while I ate dinner. It was awesome and still campy as ever. I'm just glad it wasn't a total letdown and not the same as I remembered.
Apparently I need to stop wearing my hair up at work all the time. I left it down this morning, and got all kinds of compliments. Which leads me to wonder - did it look bad before? Or is it just because its something different...
We've had the windows open over the last week or so and its been amazing. So much so that I forgot to check the weather this week. While its cool at night, I'm fairly sure I'm going to walk into a house over 80 degrees when I get home tonight. Oops.

I have been so busy at work, with work, that I feel like I have missed so much. I try and catch up at night but do it quickly b/c dh complains I'm not paying attention to him.
We fostered a kitten with fleas for about 12 hours two weeks ago and now I'm paranoid that we've got them. H forgot to mention that she had them when he brought her home so I cuddled with her a few times. Since she was somewhat sick, we did take proper precautions like changing our clothes and washing our hands after handling her and we didn't allow her to interact with our cats, but fleas can jump ridiculously far and are hard to kill. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
