Oh this child

Yesterday my son asks, "Mom, would you get me some juice?"
I said, "No, we are out at the moment"
His eyes open wide, then he puts his hand on my shoulder and says, "Tell my wife I love her"

Hey, is it summer?

Nope, not yet. The wind keeps blowing and when that is not happening, it's raining or snowing. Classes are finally over and I actually survived with Bs and one A-. Now I'm trying to get caught up on everything I stopped doing the last 3 months. Soon, I think I will find the floor in my house.
Not much else going on yet but I leave you with this.....

Oh my

School must be kicking my butt. I think it is. I am way busy but I got yelled at for not blogging. You know who you are.......
It's kind of funny to look through my posts though. Let's see, didn't make any granny squares, haven't been eating better. I don't want to even look any more.
I'm just trying to make it through the semester and actually get all my homework and my research paper done. I missed Chuck Norris' birthday. Sorry Chuck!

Happy day!

School starts for me tomorrow. Busy busy. But I'm in a good mood today. I must have had some of this juice in the morning. Buzz buzz happy bee.

I just joined something

Not the smartest move but it should be fun anyway. A granny a day. Meet me at Mike's is a great blog that I read everyday and so I thought it would be fun to try this. I know how to do basic granny squares so it should be too hard. I also have a blanket to finish so this will help me make some progress on that.

It's a monday

Classes are starting next week and I think it's going to be a tough semester. I hope I'm wrong. I haven't studied chemistry since high school and that was 25 years ago. Oh dear. I just keep telling myself that I'm smart, I'm smart, I'm smart. It will work, won't it?

Kid: You smell like updude.
Mom: What's updude?

Revolution

Since my son asked what my New Year's revolution was going to be, I'll tell you too. I need to get healthier and hopefully that includes losing just a little bit of weight. Or a lot of bit. I'm not picky. I also need to get some sort of plan in place for my life for the next couple years or so. I feel kind of lost right now and it's because I don't have any clear direction to head. I'm going to finish (I hope) this degree in December but I'm not sure what I'll do after that. That bothers me.

Asleep today

I'm asleep today because my head exploded last night. But I leave you with this.

This is more my style.

This cracks me up

My boys are pretty excited about Christmas coming so they talked me into getting out the tree and decorations. They did most of the work of decorating, I just had to clean a bit. Then they got to the nativity set. They asked me how things should be arranged. So I told them that baby Jesus goes in the middle with eveyone else grouped around. As you can see, I think Jesus has groupies. Maybe not a bad thought at that.

There was this paper

I had a paper due. It was about weeds. Lately my middle name is Procrastination. (I've never liked that name, ha!) Anyway I did get it finished and presented yesterday and the prof said it was good. Yay! So now maybe I can get some other things done. I'm wanting to knit and spin. Wanting to.
Have a great weekend!

Every day

Every day I take a shower (aren't you relieved?). Every day I open the shower curtain to grab my towel. (Cue sexy music) And every day I then see 2 cats, looking at me like "What, you didn't know we were here?"

I was

I took a picture of my toe last week. I had drawn a happy face on the bandaid because it was a sad toe from being slashed by a nail. But it was scary. So I didn't.

The eyes have it.

I didn't really tell you the whole story of the eye thing. First we went in, they did all the little lens flicking on that monstrosity they use to check your vision. the letters were all on a screen on a computer that was reflected in a big mirror. The last time I went to the eye doctor, people didn't have computers much. All these new fangled gadgets these days. (getting old alert) Then we were told we needed glasses. So then we picked out frames. Mine look spectacular thankyouverymuch. Then the drops. Some drops to numb your eyes and those burned a little. Then the drops to dilate. Those were the trouble. They work. Wide eyed little kitten I was. Too bad I couldn't see anything. Then they put you in a dark room and shine a bright light in your eyes. (I know, I know, they do it to everyone but it's all new to me) Then they bring you out and make you sign your life away when you can't even read anything. Then out into the cold cruel world. Well, actually it was nice out. But so bright! So I took my son to Mcdonalds (food mecca) and I couldn't tell if they gave me the right salad because I couldn't see it. Then I go to throw all the trash off my tray and as I tip it, I hear a clink. Holy crap, my keys. I say "oops" and hear some giggles off to my right but I can't tell if it's young girls or old men giggling at me. What is there to do but start digging. Fortunately they had just changed the trash and so I was only digging through my trash. Finally found the keys and beat a hasty retreat. It took a long time for my eyes to get back to normal. The next day felt like my eyes had a hangover.

Augghhhhhhh, my eyes!

My son and I visited the eye doctor today. First time for him and second time for me. Turns out that ours eyes have nearly the same prescription. They dilated our eyes though and now I can't see very well at all. Pretty annoying.

Fish

I dreamt of fish the other night. Now, I don't like fish, I don't like to fish. Just not a fishy person all the way around. So I'm dreaming that I come home after a trip. (except it isn't my house) I go in the house and see a very big fish tank with fish in it. (I don't have fish) I think "wow, I hadn't seen that before I bet they are hungry" I go to look and there is a blue fish and a yellow fish. (looking suspiciously like fish from Finding Nemo) As I get closer, they leap out of the tank. My husband grabs one and puts him back and I finally corner the other one who is trying to bite a chunk out of a 2x4 and get him back. Weird. Then I'm at work, walking past a sink and I see two big fish in the sink. Red fish. I think that someone just caught them and are about to clean them. As I walk by, one red fish just leaps out of the sink at me. So I put my hand out to ward him off and yell. Well, it woke me up and woke up my son and he asked why I yelled. I said, 'well, there was this fish...."

Turk-tastrophe

I was given a turkey the other day, and since it was thawing out, I decided to cook it. I roasted it nicely. It came out beautifully. Arguably the best turkey I've ever cooked. It just fell apart as I was lifting it out of the roaster. So far, so good. So every day I tell my friend Karie, "guess what I have for lunch? Turkey!" She caught on after a couple days and knew the answer ahead of time. Smart girl. So yesterday I start the drill. Pull the pan with the turkey out of the fridge to carve off a few hunks and take them for lunch. As I'm lifting out one end of the pan, the other end just jumps out of the fridge, landing on the floor. I guess it was looking to escape. Unfortunately, the turkey was in pieces already and just scattered all over the kitchen floor. After herding the cats into the other room and shutting the door, I picked up the least dirty looking pieces and washed them off and took them for lunch. I believe the outside cats will be getting the rest.

Manifesto

The computer sits on the desk, the computer is off. Nighttime, resting time. A nice handmade dust cover over the computer monitor. All is quiet. Then I hear it, the tap tap tap on the keys. I glance over and see the cat on the keyboard. To the untutored eye, it seems like he is just turning around, trying to get comfortable for a nap. But what he's really doing is typing. Typing what? you say. It has to be the kitty manifesto. The statement of intent for kitties everywhere. Their reason for being and what they intend to accomplish. For you did not know that kitties are blessed with intelligent reasoning, emotions and the wisdom to think and ponder their actions. And so, he was writing it all down, making it known to all. The kitty manifesto. And then, I fell asleep.

Busted

Yes, I see you. What, praytell, are you doing the bathroom on the sink?
