1. Well, fact is I am really confused and somewhat disallusioned, but hey, I suppose things could be worse.

1. I had my English exam yesterday. Write 6 SINGLE analytical paragraphs. No problem. Why were people going through these 20 page "exam booklets", and asking for MORE booklets? How BIG do they write? The instructions said one single paragraph per question. How much could they write before it is considered overkill? I filled a page per paragraph. Juju would be proud of my new found brevity.

2. Today I had my Bio exam. All went fairly well there. I should get about an 80 - 85, so that's all good.

3. Thursday I have my French exam. I just remembered tonight that there is a little story that is going to be included in the exam, which I haven't even looked at. My task just got a bit harder now. LOL.

4. Once my French exam is over, I will be FINISHED with that crappy little joke of a university/college, and I start class at the new university May 2nd!! WOO HOO!!!!!!!

1. Dreading the faculty meeting today. My director let me know that the retired old lady is on the warpath and I may be her target. He doesn't think that she will show up to confront me, but he warned me anyway.

2. I've been upset ever since. I have done her several favors and she stabs me in the back. Doesn't care for my playing, apparently. Hmmmm she has NEVER heard me play a piece of literature.

3. It's going to rain today.

4. I'm going to go see a student teacher later this afternoon!

5. I wish that I could have gone to Springfield yesterday for the opening of the Lincoln Library and Museum. I will have to get up there soon.

Wish me luck for the faculty meeting!

1. I've been confused and disillusioned for days now...and I'm betting Wappy and I are on the same page with these feelings.

2. I'm glad Juju posted what she posted, as I was looking for a sign of....I dunno, normalcy?

3. I'll just keep on keeping on.

4. Gawd, did the past 4 Aprils fly right over my naive head? Sighhhhh........ this time around I'm feeling the pain of being confused and disillusioned.

5. Eeyore, glad it's almost May 2nd!

6. Schoolmarm, good luck to you!!

1. Caleb had an exciting game tonight. Not sure exciting is the right word. Before the game begins, we're missing a player. Coach calls mom, mom informs her he's in the hospital. 1 other boy doesn't show up. Before the game even began, we were down two players. No big deal really, when all the boys are there, we have to have them take turns sitting out innings because we have too many kids.

2. First two innings we were up on points. Then we lost two more players who had to go to their religion classes.

3. Third inning we were down one point, 10-9. At that point it was 7pm, and we were getting a little nervous. Minor league games only go 2 hours and 10 minutes, which put our cut off time at 7:25. If we're halfway through an inning when the game is called, the score rolls back to the last completed inning.

4. Going into the fourth. 3 of our first 4 players were hit with the ball by the pitcher. One of them got hit in the wrist, and though he could move it, the poor kid was in pain. Second kid was hit in the leg, but the third was really frightening. He got hit in the ribs, and we could hear it in the stands. He ended up with a nasty mark, but actually ended up being less hurt than the kid hit in the wrist.

5. Halfway through the fourth, we were up 2 points, 12-10. We're nervously checking our watches cuz it's getting close to 7:25. Our boys get out there and seem to know they have to move quick. First batter is struck out. Second batter hit it but got tagged at first. Third batter gets up, takes a couple practice swings....and the umpire calls the game! Score rolls back to third inning and our team lost 10-9.

6. Instead of disappointment, our boys did well. They were quite pleased with how hard they had to work and they had fun, despite the injuries. As long as they had fun thats all that matters.

7. I should be getting in bed. Instead I'm sitting here, thinking about having to pack lunches and get clothes for tomorrow.

8. I've got to be up in 6 hours to go with 21 6 year olds and my husband to the zoo. I think my hubby may be as much a child as the 21 6 year olds, LOL!

9. He's got a four day weekend. I haven't figured out what I want to do Friday while the kids are in school. It's been awhile since we've had alone time, can't wait for it!

1. Every time I see a Wargod post in here, I hurry in to read it.

2. That's because I always feel that all's right with the world by the time I finish reading about her day.

3. In the Right Now thread, I read about my cybermom, Tabbyking, and her adventure with a rattlesnake!

4. She was unbelievably brave and a quick thinker! Good thing she is a golfer and felt secure about her swing! Whew!

5. My grandfather's farm in Pennsylvania had rattlesnakes. We were never allowed to wander around without an adult around. Even when we were teens, we were cautioned to stay on the paths and be super careful.

6. Getting ready to get the MRI of my head this morning (migraine headaches).

7. Then I need to finish packing up Herc's things and my things for the trip to Wilmington.

8. Ed actually has 3 interviews now! The Newark, DE people called him and conducted an interview over the phone the other day and that went really well. Two of his in-person interviews are on Friday (Exxton, PA and Dover, DE) and one on Saturday (Newark, DE).

9. Who was it that said to put that ellipsis sign (sideways 8) in our wallets--unfolded? Well, I am NOT superstitious, but . . . I admit I snuck one in Ed's wallet at the time I read the post. I swear, within a week, he got all these interviews--boom, boom, boom! Weird, huh?

10. I am so looking forward to hugging my mommma and looking into her eyes. I need to 'feel' that everything is okay with her. Won't be long now. (Yes, Skootzy, I will have PC access. My mom is a cybergranny!)

Morning all:

1.Best of luck HP with your MRI this morning and glad to hear that you will be able to visit a bit here and keep us up to date with you and your mom. Congratulations to Ed for the 3 interviews, that is awesome...I will have to check out this ellipsis sign thing and perhaps stick one in DH wallet...always use good luck here.

1.1 Cement contractors are at the barn this morning. Nice to get started.

1.2 We are at critical stage with quotes etc. right now...please keep us in your thoughts, it is frustrating at this time to make sure we are doing the right thing in decisions made for the rebuild and DH is getting a bit down with it all.

Morning everyone...

1. Skootz, I'm here for you at this frustrating time in the rebuild process. Did you put the "8" into your wallet?

2 HP, it's so good to hear fantastic news from you!! Best of luck to Ed and cybergranny! It's gotta be that "8".

2.1 I've been carrying an "8" in my wallet for a few days now, ever since reading about it in the Right Now thread.

2.2 My heart is with my cousin and niece as they are undergoing the liver transplant process this morning (right now in fact).

2.3 Here's to the "8" in my wallet....

1. Just after I posted here this morning, my phone rang.

2. It was my cousin (sister of sick cousin).

3. Late last night, my cousin received a phone call from the doctor. My sick cousin had an abnormal pre-surgical blood result that made the doctor halt the surgery scheduled for this morning. He deemed it too borderline to attempt the liver transplant at this time.

4. Long story, but it's strike 2 and another roadblock to contend with at this time. We're all in good spirits right now with the hope that the 3rd time around will be the right time for this liver transplant.

4.1 I'm so proud of my (sick) cousin for her giving spirit, warm heart and healthy frame of mind and after a good cry, not letting this beat her to the ground. Yay for my cousin!

1. i applied to 2 advanced summer courses on human rights.
2. one is in the hague and the other is in finland.
3. my director wrote a great letter of recommendation for me today to get into either one of them.
4. i am worried i will get into both and will have to decline one.
5. i know, such a travesty to choose between two weeks in finland or 2 weeks in the netherlands for "work".

5.1 did i just use the words "2" and "two" in the same sentence - what happened to all my writing skills. :-)

1. Today was the strangest of days for me...allow me to share....

2. First, as you know, my cousin did not get her liver transplant. (Sad news).

3. After getting into work, I received a delivery of a gorgeous orchid plant from a student and her parents. (Good news).

4. On my way back from a very late lunch, I walked into the main lobby of my building and right into a PR event. My former Admin saw me and came forward and asked me to stay for the presentation. Some newspaper took our picture...I looked horrid and was not dressed "professionally" like Admin. (Awkward, not-so-good news).

5. After easing away from the press event, I got back to my office to find another delivery....this time a bouquet of gorgeous spring flowers. This was from my main man. (I love that man! news).

6. At this same time, I also found a copy of our employee newsletter in my IN box and there on the front page was a photo taken by me! And to top it off, at the bottom right corner of the photo it stated "Photo by Eggie <insert last name here>". (Fun news!)

1. I need to mow my lawn again. I just mowed it last week...what does this grass thing it is!?!

2. I'm home early today because I had to come home in order for my wife to go to her interview. We don't have anybody to watch my daughters.

3. Keep your fingers crossed and good vibes coming our way. This job she's interviewing for today would be alright, but the job interview she has for Monday would be even better.

4. My wife has a degree in psychology...specializing in child care. She loves working with kids and was the Lead Teacher in her class of Pre-Schoolers at her last job.

5. She has always had a passion to work with special needs children. It's kinda ironic that when Zoe was born she/we would get first hand knowledge in it.

6. I hope she can land a job soon...man can only live on bread and meat for so long. ;D

7. As I sit here...I noticed my lawn still needs to be mowed.

5. Yet, I believe in blessings, give him a year in the job, and we can move closer! (its app 2 hour drive south!)

1. for Nick's wife!

2. for Reader's husband!

3. I told my husband I would mow the lawn when he got home, but unfortunately it is going to start raining any minute. Aw shucks.

4. We have had a beautiful day so far today though, I went out this morning and bought a million flowers to plant in all the containers on my deck and in the front of our house.

5. Jake and I went out and planted them all while Jenna was sleeping. Everything looks so fresh and pretty now!

6. Jake is getting to be such a big boy. He has spent the day doing things for himself instead of me doing them for him. I don't even thing he realizes he is doing it...it's like he doesn't need me anymore

7. I got this quote in an e-mail yesterday:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"


8. I think that is my new motto!

9. Have a great weekend everyone!

1. What a day so far.

2. Our Volunteer Services Department held the Appreciation Brunch for approximately 350 volunteers today.

3. It was a nice event and my first time attending/participating.

4. I gave my little presentation about the Student Volunteer program and I'd say I did pretty well.

5. The two students I asked to speak gave a nice presentation as well.

6. I was very proud of these two students.

7. I came home to hear the news that my 12y/o niece in in the hospital for a severe migraine.

8. I just got home from spending an hour with her.

9. The doctor will be doing a spinal tap to rule out viral meningitis, they don't suspect bacterial meningitis because there's no fever.

10. She also had an MRI and no results have been given yet.
