...he said, “Ah, you’re back to normal!” And I didn’t know that I was ever not normal.

QOTD has moved

Just an FYI that the Question of the Day has moved.

She was standing in line

The principal of Zoe’s school just called me to let me know that Zoe was in her office, along with two other 5 yr. old girls, because at recess they pinned a boy down and were taking turns kissing him.

None of the girls are fessing up and saying who had the idea to do this, however my daughter’s defense was that “the teacher didn’t actually see her do it because she was standing in line, waiting her turn [to kiss the boy]”.

Had a bad day

…. or actually a bad week. It seems like I’m being pulled in a million different directions. School, work, family, fun, health, holiday, etc…. I don’t handle stress very well. In fact it makes me want to turn and run in the other direction. I’d rather avoid a situation all together, unless someone is accusing me of something that is completely wrong, then I’ll fight tooth and nail to set the record straight. Anyhow….. I don’t want to say that I hate the Christmas season, but whatever is right above hate on a scale of love/hate, that’s what I feel about Christmas. It makes me head spin, my stomach hurt, and my heart ache. All for different reasons. Of course it blows my diet, my budget, my plans to sit and relax.

Anyhow, my hubby’s had the mother of bad days today, and it makes my bad week look like a walk in the park. He was on his way home from work this morning at 8 a.m. when he blew out a (brand freaking new) tire on the Interstate. It’s 30 degrees outside and he had to change a flat all by himself. I didn’t catch my phone when it rang so his call went to voicemail, and then Zoe’s bus came so I was on my way to work when I finally got hold of him to see what I could do to help. He didn’t give his location in the message so I couldn’t do much until we connected.

He finally got his spare tire on and then his battery was dead from having his hazards flashing. Mother Trucker!!! Thankfully I was able to get him AAA Roadside Assistance right away. He was pissed, tired, hungry, cold, and kinda not in so much of a good mood.

The day is done now. He slept off his frustrations and then played some Xbox. I ran 4 miles, which seemed to help (me, not him). Tomorrow is my last class, then I have two weeks off. I really want to take a few months off between the end of this class and my next class, but that means I’d start over again in a new cohort (that’s group of students) for the remainder of the program. I want a break, but I don’t want to go into a new class. It’s a no win situation.

Let’s take your car

One of my headlights is out on my Honda. Tonight we had to go get Zoe from my parents house and I told my husband that we needed to take his car since it was dark out and I didn’t want to risk getting a ticket.

We both walk out into the garage at the same time. I made myself comfortable in the passenger seat and wondered where in the heck he was. Then I heard two small beeps, I turned and found him in the drivers seat of the Mazda. I was in the Honda. I couldn’t stop laughing for a good 5 minutes. I don’t know why I thought this was so funny, but I did.

1.5%

Things are really really hectic in my life right now. I’m up to my eyeballs in statistics (the 2nd class) homework; my mother-in-law had emergency open heart surgery last week; and I’m implementing a new computer program at work today. I don’t know which I’m more stressed out about.
 
Learning stats is like learning another language.
 
My mother-in-law had a pretty serious heart problem. They are lucky they caught it in time. It looks like she’s doing well, however her and my step-father-in-law are moving on Dec. 15th!!!!!! They aren’t anywhere near done packing, and they live about 4+ hours away in Rhinelander, she’s in the hospital in Madison (which is about 1 hour from me, 3 hours from Rhinelander). They don’t have any family in Rhinelander to help them, all the kids are scattered around Wisconsin. We are trying to talk them into hiring movers. As it stands now, she’ll be lucky to be out of the hospital by Dec. 15th.
 
Then there’s the new computer program thing…. HELP!!! ….. I’m looking out the window of my office, watching for the FedEx guy …. is it possible that my Fruit Forward wine club shipment will arrive today?????
 
Last night I did my homework for a while, gave up and went for a run on my treadmill. I’m running along, and there are times that my run will feel harder than others, this was one of those times. The miles seemed to go on forever, and I was struggling here and there. I glanced down at the monitor to see how far I had gone: 2.18 miles. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed 1.5% flash on the screen. Whoa whoa whoa what???? Yep, there it was again, 1.5%.
 
I’m running on a freaking hill??????
 
That’s when I screamed that my husband was on my shit list and took it down to a flat surface …. 0%. He ran on a hill eariler and didn’t put it back to 0% when he was done.
 
He’s sooooo dead.

A small rant about the only 3 parachutes thing

For those who don’t know, I have a Question of the Day blog, and it’s sole purpose in life is to pose silly questions. There are a few new question every single day, and I there are a few people who help contribute to the QOTD (Jo, KJones, and occassionally Better Safe Than Sorry). Occassionally I’ll pose a question that follows the format:
 
You only have 3 parachutes, but there are 4 people who need it. Who do you not give a parachute to …. and then I’ll list out the 4 people.
 
(Of course, all 4 of them are up really super duper high in the air, and the parachute is truly the only way to save them. You are safe on the ground, so there is no need to give yourself a parachute.)
 
 
HOW FREAKING DIFFICULT IS THIS QUESTION????????
 
There’s always someone who saves a parachute for themself, and only hands out 2 more parachutes. "I’ll keep one for me….."
 
Every once in a while someone comes along and decides that they must save them all…..
 
Now someone is handing out parachutes to the pilot, co-pilot, and stewardess. Wah???
