Warning...once you hang in that hammock the only time you'll use the tent is...well...NEVER.” 5:58:51 AM 8/11/10 “Trying to get everything ready for tomorrow. I hate prepping for trips I'm not looking forward to. Now the tubing and historical site stuff, yes.” 9:32:57 AM 8/11/10 “buried my dad today with full military honors. I was sad but proud. He served in Korea and WWII. An interesting note - found a picture of a Korean girl amongst his things... last edited: 8/12/10 4:16:02 PM” 4:15:24 PM 8/12/10 “Im ok...cant keep my eyes open” 1:17:35 PM 8/13/10 “rest up Div.” 2:09:57 PM 8/13/10 “Working nights, I'm up.” 2:19:59 AM 8/14/10 “Good morning...anyone heard from richb lately?...i'm actually awake today...sore but no pain...yeah!...ya'll have a great weekend! i'll be inside. way too hot!” 6:05:06 AM 8/14/10 “I'm up. Been up since 4AM. Evie joined me at 4:30. Something about me climbing out of a truck on a ladder. I think it was a bad dream. When I laid down with her, she wouldn't let go of my arm and said she was afraid I wouldn't come back. Hope its not a premonition of my day to come. I have a 2nd interview this morning, I'm the only candidate they're interviewing. Basically, the superintendent wants to make sure I don't have two heads. I'm hoping I can sign a contract today, so I can go to my old school and resign before some software training I'm signed up for at 1PM. If not, I guess I'm stuck going to training that will be useless to me. Oh well. Today's also the 2nd day of our garage sale. Who knew a Wednesday night garage sale would prove to be so successful. We sold a TON of stuff yesterday. Hoping the crowd this morning will also be good. Hope everyone's doing well.” 4:02:22 AM 8/19/10 “Good morning ...today is my last day of summer vacation...+tears up+ lee's uncle had a massive heart attack and died in his recliner and his funeral was yesterday...and lee's 36 yr old coworker had a stroke...36! dang! ...hoping for a quiet day today!” 5:21:27 AM 8/19/10 “I'm sorry, Div. ~hugs~ I hope things go really well for you, SG. We're having a nice, rumbly rainy day here. I hope it rains all day, but the weatherman says it won't last. Sad. We need it. We got back from a week in Florida yesterday afternoon. I'm so glad to be home and sleeping in my own bed. I had to drug myself rather heavily to sleep down there. The guest room beds are hard as rocks, and exacerbate HPM's snoring like you wouldn't believe. Laurel starts the third grade next Wednesday. She's looking forward to it.” 5:47:26 AM 8/19/10 “Hey SG..you didn't sell my chair sling thingy did ya?? I mailed a check monday!!!” 6:18:31 AM 8/19/10 “why doesn't the damn edit function work??? Dreary and hot are the words for today in Jackson...” 6:20:28 AM 8/19/10 “Divinity - Sorry to hear about all the sadness. Best wishes. Paul” 10:02:20 AM 8/19/10 “NGB - I'm holding on to it for you. Check hasn't arrived yet. Garage sale was a big success! We have very little to take to the Goodwill box, and we made more money than I expected. We had help from several people to get it all together, so I'll be writing thank you notes this evening for all of their help. I was officially offered the job this afternoon, and my old district knows, so things are moving in the right direction. Just so much to do a week and a half before school starts.” 1:36:42 PM 8/19/10 “That's great, SG! HPM had to take his team to Dayton, Ohio and won't be back until tomorrow night. Guess what? Laurel and I are going out to dinner (if you can call a local burger chain with 45+ varieties of shakes that) and then going to pick out some paint colors at the home despot. Pure excitement! We got 2.27 inches of rain early this morning, and more is on the way. I'm glad of it, too. We need it.” 2:43:26 PM 8/19/10 “Scratch that about writing thank you notes. I had Wine Thursday with some friends instead. Well worth the change in plans.” 9:49:14 PM 8/19/10 “Back to work...i'm tired and my feet are killing me...if i didn't have to work in the morn, i would drink me a few beers!” 5:16:06 PM 8/20/10 “Dear god, 481 pages to this thread... I'm up, been up for a while, and don't want to be...School starts on Wednesday for Laurel and I'm getting back to crazy a$$ hours. I don't care for it right now. I also don't trust the principal at Laurel's school, but that's another story.” 3:13:22 AM 8/23/10 “Morning! Recovering from a weekend at Scout Camp. It was good. The girls worked on/earned Camp cooking, lets get together, and Let's get outdoors, did a low ropes course, cooked and cleaned up every meal and actually seemed to have fun. I came home to a baby who is creeping even faster and sitting up on her own now. Today is back to school shopping. Not much needed thanks to Garage sales.” 4:58:56 AM 8/23/10 “Morning! Up at 4AM, back to sleep at 6:30, thank goodness. Dropping off boxes at my new classroom, then to the indoor water park for a family day. I'll be a good day!” 5:10:55 AM 8/23/10 “We're planning out Laurel's vacations for the school year: We're heading to Crater of Diamonds state park in Arkansas for her spring break at the end of April. Nothing like playing in the mud and dirt all day.” 5:55:48 AM 8/23/10 “i got a new phone...i sure could use some instructions...the ones that came with it are not very good...grrr...i hope everyone is doing well...hugs” 7:47:38 PM 8/23/10 “Gah...Just got back from the open house for Laurel's school. What a zoo. The new principal, in her rather limited wisdom, set the open house hours from 8 am. to 10 am. this morning. On a work day. That's it. I met and chatted with Laurel's new teacher. I like her. She has twin daughters starting kindergarten this year, too. Yikes.” 7:53:08 AM 8/24/10 “Just dropped Laurel off for her first day of third grade. Good god, what a zoo. There's 3 cops out front directing traffic out on the road, and they're being ignored by many drivers. Yikes.” 4:24:45 AM 8/25/10 “Yow.” 6:15:36 AM 8/25/10 “Ariana starts junior high this year. She's a good kid, but I'm still scared.” 9:55:43 AM 8/25/10 “when i worked campus security, high school kids were easier to deal with than the middle school kids.” 4:00:07 PM 8/25/10 “I'm up. E peed her bed this morning, so the changing of sheets and blankets got the blood pumping. First time she's had an accident in bed. Hopefully its the last. My new classroom is about 90% set up, thank goodness. I have professional development 4 days next week, then the kids come! I'm excited for school to start this year. :) G neglected to mention his parents were coming to town until 10 minutes before they showed up at our house last night. Needless to say, I wasn't entirely pleased. Off to the shower, E has her 3-year old check up this morning. My baby starts pre-school in a week!” 3:31:57 AM 8/27/10 “Wow, preschool already. Laurel's loving third grade so far. She took a large grasshopper in to school yesterday, in the little bug observation chamber she got in the Smokies. The grasshopper made it home, getting released in the house with two cats chasing it for an hour, and getting stepped on. To quote the Kids in the Hall: "He has spirit, he may live!" Yes, I let the thing go.” 3:46:59 AM 8/27/10 “Finally weekend!” 8:11:46 AM 8/27/10 “Morning! Been up since 0445. Dropped Birch off at DTW at 0530 for his Apostle Islands trip. Long week of HOT weather and just us girls starts MEOW! Still jealous as hell, but happy for him getting to go.” 3:31:50 AM 8/30/10 “Morning. Today is my first day of work at my new school. Its the general paperwork/welcome to the district kind of day, there wont' be time in my classroom. :( Birthday party yesterday was nice. We have a TON of food leftover. Hope I don't eat it all at once. :)” 4:15:54 AM 8/30/10 “Morning, everyone! It's 63 now, but will get up to 90 later today. I have most of the windows open right now, much to the cat's enjoyment.” 4:42:51 AM 8/30/10 “I now regret opening all of the windows. The house is now filled with almost-microscopic gnats. Their bites itch like #*%&.” 6:30:31 AM 8/30/10 “94 degrees in mid-MI. It was so hot and stuffy in my classroom, I decided to just go home. Unfortunately, its going to be just as bad tomorrow. I hope I never change schools again, but if I do, I'll be sure to go to a school with air conditioning.” 1:07:08 PM 8/30/10 “the weather is cooling down already, wtf? is summer over?!” 2:45:11 PM 8/30/10 “Who's up??? I'm up. Day 2 of professional development, and my lesson plans for my master's class are due TOMORROW!! YIKES! Enjoying my quiet house once again. The chaos, I mean Evie, returns tomorrow. :) Have a good day, and stay cool!” 2:50:02 AM 8/31/10 “I've been up since 5 am est. Don't like it very much, except for getting to sit out in the pre-dawn dark with the outdoor cats, enjoying the relative silence. The katydids are almost deafening, though. It will be 95 or higher here for the next few days. Sucks big time. I'm supposed to be out cleaning up the yard and getting it "presentable," for an upcoming pond tour. I find myself really not caring one iota (not the phrase I wanted to use but acceptable for public use)about any of it.” 3:37:40 AM 8/31/10 “good afternoon. off to another psych, then i shall hike from torrey pines to blacks. not taking the freaking stairs up and down the cliffs this time. and i Will use the sunblock!” 12:24:42 PM 8/31/10 “Pleasant in Jackson today...88 deg right now, cloudy and low humidity. Had lunch with Chili and we sat outside on the patio..my back is feeling better this afternoon, so maybe I will walk in the morning.” 12:27:44 PM 8/31/10 “I had to take off from lunch to do a TV interview. I am going to make the news tonight in Jackson talking about bed bugs.” 12:32:57 PM 8/31/10 “hey chili, put it on youtube so we can all see it!” 12:35:16 PM 8/31/10 “Howdy...just stopped by to say hello...I have a new phone and it isn't TT friendly...and a Trojan got my computer months ago... hugs” 4:19:06 PM 8/31/10 “Morning, Div! Can I go back to bed now? I didn't sleep very much last night.” 3:29:23 AM 9/01/10 “good morning, how about some coffee???getting pretty excited about this 3 day weekend coming up. :)” 4:14:32 AM 9/01/10 “Hey, I just found I am on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHwnrM7OqlM&feature=related If you scroll forward to min. 3:00 - I am paddling on the yellow dragon boat. I have just signed up to join the crew on this years race in two weeks.” 4:25:24 AM 9/01/10 “That's cool, Euro! I just found hundreds of leeches and many more egg cases in the filtration for the quarantine bin (250 gal.) where the goldfish live. Frogs brought them in. Frogs are everywhere here, so now it looks like I have to treat everything. Yuckers.” 6:07:03 AM 9/01/10 “No sleep, ugh...Coffee's already coming back to say "hello" again.” 3:46:30 AM 9/03/10 “bummage” 4:41:01 AM 9/03/10 “I had no coffee yesterday or this morning...mainly I just didnt feel like making it or paying for it. I feel more awake and alert today than I have been for a while..I cant imagine the lack of coffee has had an affect already...but I do feel less fogged today than usual...weird. I guess I will see how I feel at about 2pm...” 6:51:22 AM 9/03/10 Jump to Page << prev
