1. Good luck in your English Class, Eeyore...we know you Canadians can use it. 2. I'm in such a better mood this week. Last week was such a funk for me...you ever feel like you have had all you can take...and then you find out that you can take just a little more... 3. New pics up in my folder...::insert proud papa smiley thing here:: 3.5 Remember Tara on Wednesday, 3/2/05...she'll be getting her tonsils and adenoids (sp?) out.

1. Dang, we had a cold snap and it snowed today. Very strong winds and the lights went out this morning. I think that the university email is down, too. 2. Cleared my desk off, kind of, at work. Also washed the sticky finger stuff off of my computer. I wonder who has been using my computer with sticky fingers. 3. I have choir rehearsal tonight. I would rather stay home and rest, but I always feel great once I get there! 4. I am now in a mewing conversation with Ellie. She is outside, and I'm inside where she wants to be. If she were smart she would just stay in the garage where it is warmer. 5. We had the last candidate in for the voice position. We are finished interviewing until we get permission to bring in choir directors....or our first choice candidates say no. LOL!

1. Last week, I applied for a job that will be quite different than my current one, and will change my daily life a lot! I'm studying like crazy this week to interview for this new position. 2. Last night I dismantled the bathroom sink/ plumbing in order to replace the faucet. If I don't get the above new job, maybe I'll become a plumber instead and get paid better for easier work. 3. Today I helped my Mom shower, cleaned her apt. and cooked her some supper. If I don't get the aforementioned new job, I may decide to become a chef. 4. Tonite Ms Sweetpea is babysitting for our niece/nephew combo...we are already professional aunties, the best unpaid job. 5. I still have lots of TVCH reading to catch up on, and a trip report to write for Tess before she lashes me with a wet noodle. 6. Next week, ok, Tess?

I bought a pair of slacks (in an amazing size 12 thank very much! black with peachy-orange pin stripes from kohls. 5. also bought a matching peachy-orange short sleeved sweater. 6. this will make up my easter outfit (one does not sit on the floor with second graders wearing a skirt - and one defitiely doesn't do it twice in the same day - which i will be) 7. the ultimate today was my father called - long story. I've wanted to get in touch with him but didn't have phone or adress - he has cell, cells aren't listed, common last name yada yada - anyway search is over I now have number/address/directions - what a birtday!

1. I went home at lunch. My first big mistake 2. Hubby is supposed to be tearing out my bathroom today. I am dreading this process and the mess I will be living in for the next little while. I expected at lunch it would be started. Mistake number 2. 3. I found my hubby and three of his staff sitting at the kitchen table drinking coffee and eating donuts. Oh they're done the tearing out already I thought. Mistake number 3. 4. As I walked down the hall to my bathroom, I see it fully intact. Aside from the toilet paper roll being empty (which it always is anyway) the room looked just as I left it. Hubby joins me from the kitchen. Mistake number 4. 5. He informs me that THEY can't proceed until I make some necessary decisions. Other than which donuts to choose, are these not decisons HE could make in my three hour absence. Mistake number 5. 6. I apparently need to decide where light fixtures are going to go. When I inquired why the teardown was conditional on knowing where the light fixtures were going to go, I expected an informed, intelligent response. Mistake number 6. 7. Upon leaving the bathroom to get some tylenol from the kitchen, I reach for a glass of water. Mistake number 7. 8. Not expecting the water to be turned off, (I guess you don't need to know where light switches go to turn off the water) I open the fridge to get a drink of milk. Mistake number 8. 9. I glance over at the table of donuts and coffee to realize that one of the staff doesn't drink 5 cups of coffee with his donuts, he prefers milk. I then proceed to put the glass away and my coat on. Mistake number 9. 10. The cat has fallen asleep on my coat which is laying across the couch. My dark navy coat with my white and orange sleeping cat. As I prepare to leave I hear "Bye hon, have a good afternoon....and I want you to be prepared for the way things are gonna look when you get home at the end of the day." That my friends was HIS BIG MISTAKE! Fondly Wappy

1. Wappy, you had me laughing so hard. I can't wait to hear the rest too! 2. We got a beautiful snowfall yesterday and everything looks so pretty. Not too much, just enough to look good. 3. When I was in FL my uncle brought over 2 huge boxes of pics of me and my family. I went through them there which was hard. Seeing mom and dad so happy made me miss them so much. I haven't been able to go through them again since getting home. I know I'm going to, I just can't bring myself to yet. So, I haven't officially unpacked from my trip to TX and FL.

1. My bathroom is larger...has no tub or shower, sink or linen closet, so it is larger. Oh yeah, it also has no walls or anything other than plywood for floors. Breathing, in two, three, out two three. 2. My taps are not looking very s**y now that is for sure....sitting there in the box covered in dust and an old drop sheet. 3. I have been trying all night to chat with my friends but keep getting bumped. When I asked techy hubby what could be the problem, he said, I'm doing bathroom, not computer. Today has just not been my day! 4. Skootz and I have awesome plans for London and hey, by then my bathroom will be old news. Fondly Wappy

4.1 Hate to tell you this, Wapster, but I went to London and Paris in May 2002 while my kitchen was being redone by the spouse. It got finished in November 2004. Well, it was mostly finished then. Hard to say when it will be truly finished, but we left the house in November 2004 and haven't been back yet.

1. I too, really enjoyed Wappy's post. 2. ((Twinks)) 3. The borrowed mattress set I've been sleeping on for a year and 4 months has gotten progressivly worse - it's bumpy and it concaves. I've been waking up in pain, and feeling sleep deprived as I toss and turn all night long. 4. Today, my mom and I went to a mattress store, and we bought me a new mattress set, to be delivered tomorrow. She put it on her credit card and I'm going to be paying her each month on it. I just love my MOM!!!! 5. My brother announced tonight that he and his wife are moving out. I'm glad about that, but it also means I'm going to have to find a way to afford cable and and internet connection, as he made the account for it, and I've been paying him half. This also means the dresser and headboard I'm using is going to be leaving with them too, so now I have to find something to replace it. Goodwill, here I come.

1. Happy Wednesday everyone! 2. I'm finally caught up with all of my work at school. 3. I ordered a chicken caesar salad for lunch today. Now I just have to wait for lunch to get here. 4. There is so much snow here today, but not enough for a snow day in our county. School buses were late today. I always worry about my students and the bus drivers on days like this. 5. We have another disfunctional joint team meeting today in about 20 minutes. I never look forward to attending these meetings. 6. I'm looking forward to my appointment at the beauty shop this afternoon. I'm in serious need of pampering lol.

1. I don't have any meetings scheduled for today, whee. 2. I still dislike this job but will give it another month maybe. 3. I had to remind #1 who the parent was by taking his cell phone, games, and computer last night. 4. He busted #2's nose and blood was everywhere. #1 then trashed his room because he was upset with me. 5. I told him he could live by my rules or get out. 6. He's still thinking this over. 7. He'll be 14 next week and he might not make it.

1. Glad you are sticking to your gun Mocha and letting #1 know who is the parent and the head of your household. 2. Kids here have been fighting almost constantly for the past week 3. Can only ignore them so long 4. They followed me upstairs and I have now snuck back downstairs so I cannot hear the fighting and bickering. 5. Got some more snow last night, dd went to school today still. 6. they are calling for more snow today 7. Dh and I are hitting the snowmobile trails on Friday, yipee, we will have a great base on the trails. 8. Enjoy your pampering this afternoon OMP

1. {hugs} Mocha, mom is the hardest job. 2. Yesterday ds #1 had his stent taken out - he was in shock! Apparently he told his gf (while we were both in the same car, so I wasnt being nosy!!) that it was like painful to p, burning you know like they say it burns with VD 3. DD was sent home from school with a temp of 99.6 on Monday 4. We were told she couldnt come to school on Tuesday, and she had no fever... uggg 5. Getting ready to school this a.m. and she was lethargic... temp 100.6 - back to bed DD 6. DD school rearranged the whole reading program, all teachers, reading specialist, LD teacher and aides have 12 or less kids for one hour each day, 2 2nd grade classes, 2 3rd grade classes 7. DD is in the 3rd grade class. She's reading a book DS's read in 4th grade (Pegasus Program if anyone remembers that reading program!! Pre done program!) She's finally being challenged, I had to explain to her that she has to keep up, homework now etc. 8. She says, yeah I know, instead of reading a book and just doing it when I'm ready, I have to do it while the teacher is explaining it, or I get behind!! LOL 9. Will I ever get to go back to work??? 10. I posted a coupon for $10 off an order for American Girl Store - they have $16 Girls of Many Lands that are pretty (orig. $60) and of course the Samantha DVD $19 (check the Budget Thread)}

1. My new mattress set arrived today at noon! 2. I washed all my bedding this morning to put on the new bed, so it is now all fresh and clean and new, and I sure hope I sleep better tonight. 3. I found a headboard at Goodwill for $10.50. It's an older kind, circa 1950's, that has the sliding doors with cubby holes. I'm going to paint it white and get new knobs for it.

1. sage, i have a headboard like that on my bed, too. it was a hand-me-down from my grandparents, who bought it new, and it has been taken care of very well. 2. i let lola sleep with me last night sans crate...she whined the night before every couple of hours, and i hardly slept at all. 3. last night was a little better, but i was scared i would squish her all night. she mainly slept in my armpit. lol, but no whining. 4. we went to the vet yesterday, and lola weighs 1 lb and 7 ozs! the vet assistants argued over who got to hold her. she's very lovable.

1. I got my English exam back today. Ugh. 10.5 out of 20. Hardly compares to my well-above-class-average essay I got back the other day. However, I missed ONE class, and that was the topic for the "long answer" portion of the exam. I didn't think I'd do THAT BAD, despite knowing I was losing a big chunk of marks on the long answer. Oh well. I refuse to miss any more classes. 2. I've dwelled on my impending change to the larger university come May. I want to do two majors (French and Psych), but now I'm just not sure if I have enough credit space to fit in all those classes. Can you take MORE THAN 120 credits, and still get the degree? I think I took a few too many unnecessary lower-level classes. 3. Congrats to Mocha for sticking to your guns with your son. I'm glad you know who the parent is. That is what counts! 4. I looked at my future tuition costs for the new university. They are about 2.5 times the amount of my current fees. I am petrified. How do they expect my generation to get through school without ending up 50,000 in debt? How can we make a good start on our life, when we are so far behind? 5. It came up in conversation at work last night that I'd be into finding a room mate to cut on my costs. A girl I know from work who is about my age, and also in school and ALSO going to the new university is interested in looking for a place together. While I am OK with this, she is interested in living in an area that I am not a huge fan of. It's closer to school, but further from our work, and for me, it will be further from my boyfriend while he is living here over the summer. I told her I'd be more interested in a closer area, and I told her my reasons, and we left it at "let's keep our minds and options open". She also has a cat. While I LOVE LOVE LOVE cats, I am also worried about smell and hair. I have white couches and chairs, and the cat is an outdoor cat. With the amount of rain we get in Vancouver, the last thing I'd want is my furniture being mucked up. So I'm grappling with the cost saving of having a roomie that I know and trust, and the fact that my furniture and closeness to my boyfriend are so important to me to give up. I don't know what to do... 5.1 For something that I was so happy and proud of two days ago, I'm not so excited to move on to the new university anymore.
