I'm sooo bored! I meant to grab some supplies this morning to build a mock-up for something and completely forgot until I got to work. That was supposed to be my entertainment for the day.
In other news, this year Purdue will celebrate its centennial bug bowl celebration. My first experience with entomology was at a state Rainbow meeting when I was about 12. Our guest speaker was the Director of Entomology at Purdue. How delightful: a room full of preteens/teens and their elders all dressed in formal attire, listening to a talk about roaches.
I'm cramping so bad right now and no access to pain meds. I'd love to make a store run right now. Leaving my office for a lunch or break right now is not in the cards today. Lots of stuff going on right now. Would not be a good move with the boss to leave!

All I want to do is sleep all night. I wake up to my H snoring because he's brought the baby to bed instead of getting him back to sleep and putting him in the crib. So I spend half the night tossing and turning with a cranky baby because he is a restless sleeper.
He tried to give me a guilt trip about spending an hour 3 times a week doing Jazzercise because he doesn't get alone time. Fool, you get up and shower and leisurely get to work. Then he gets off at 2:30 and does whatever he wants before he picks up the baby (it's never right away unless he's forced to) and is home by 4:30 to catch Monkey off the bus. I'd much rather do that than get JUST an hour to myself and spend an hour and a half (or more) rushing through morning routines to get 3 people ready for the day, hauling ass to be to work on time and spending all day here to get off at 5 p.m., fight traffic to get home where I usually spend all night entertaining a baby or cleaning house if I'm not hurridly changing my clothes to go sweat for an hour and THEN doing all that stuff. I threatened to quit my job last night if he wanted to give me that guilt trip again when involving homework he put off.
We interviewed someone yesterday for our job opening. She was awesome! And very honest. I appreciated that. We posted a new ad yesterday and have a couple more to interview but she's at the top of our list. Downfall she's in a college 4 hours a way, so she hasn't seen the farm yet (phone interview). We'll see how this pans out.
It's blizzarding here today. I haven't seen it blizzard like this in years. It's freakin' the middle of April. I'm mad.
My power keeps blinking has a result of said storm. E. student is perpetually late (and can't seem to understand why it matters to Bossman..lol). This morning when I was resetting clocks, I purposely reset his 10 minutes faster. I'm not telling him.
THR has me trolling through the Coldwater Creek website this morning.

I'm listening to Pandora - on shuffle - and my mix just transitioned from "Do You Hear the People Sing?" to "Promiscuous" ... and I'm still singing along. Haha
I dropped Hobbes off at the vet this morning because he took a turn for the worse last night. We're looking at ~$1k for surgery. *sigh* That's the max, so I'm really hoping it'll be less. Nowhere is the cost of living change between OH and CA more obvious than in the vet visits. Ugh.
They're installing speed bumps in our neighborhood today (we have a 10 mph speed limit and NO ONE goes that speed.) But all the signs they have up talking about the construction thereof refers to them as "Speed Humps" ... and I'm giggling like a 12-year-old boy.

I'm annoyed my mom just bought the rug I wanted for our living room for her office so I guess I will keep hunting Or just cave and say who cares most likely the latter but at this moment I'm still annoyed. She had a picture I had taken and the link saying I wanted to buy it for MY living room and still claims she didn't know it was the same one. Oh well.

I don't get it, so you're annoyed she bought a rug you wanted for her house? Why can't you have the same rug?

Oh just say great minds think a like and buy it too! My mom and I have similar decorating tastes, so it wouldn't bother me.

I know its not a big deal I'm just annoyed right now ill get over it and it will be fine. I'm just frustrated I sent her a picture and the link saying what do you think for our house and then she went and bought it. She had a $500 budget and could have bought anything.

I say who cares as well. There are only about 3 people that will ever know/remember/care. It'll also look entirely different in your LR than it will in her office.
I have the same shower curtain has a good friend and even I don't notice it. Different rooms display things differently.
I'm exhausted. But also very excited for tomorrow. I'm the Student Council sponsor at school, and tomorrow our biggest event of the year, a dodgeball tournament to raise money for the local Humane Society, starts at 5:30pm. I've been running around like a psycho for the past week to get everything together, and I'm so worried I've forgotten something or screwed something up. But my students are so excited, so hopefully it'll be worth it.
We are working on a talking tactile head for various uses (helping autistic kids be better at eye-contact, skyping, etc.) Colbert's head is a free download on thinkiverse and people are doing funny stuff with it, so we thought it would be fun to use it too.
