20 Days to go

I thought this morning I would spring out of bed because it was Friday...yep I was totally mistaken. I hit the snooze 5 times...thank goodness I didn't wash my hair...don't act like that's gross because you know you do it too...and it was jeans day, so I didn't really have to put alot of effort into my dress...well that's not really that different from every other day...I digress.  After the 2nd snooze, Howdy decided he needed to go out. I drug myself out of bed to let him out...I opened the door and he ran out..sniffed the ground but decided since it was raining, he'd rather hold in his waste products. Since I wanted to go back to bed, so I could hit the snooze for the 3rd time, I put on my rainboots, with my pj pants tucked into them, grabbed a "raincoat" and leash, and headed out the door all the while Howdy is jumping up and down because he thinks we are leaving...poor thing...he's just book smart, not a lot of common sense. I walked him around the backyard in the rain like a weirdo. The hood on my raincoat was too big and it was dark so I couldn't see where I was going and I almost lost both my eyes because of renegade tree limbs. Upon completion of the morning ritual, I got back in bed just in time to hit the snooze. Am I good or what?!?!

I finally get it up, and slowly but surely get ready for work. This morning I didn't have to rush because I went to the grocery store yesterday, remember I almost plowed down the little girl, so I didn't have to waste money on a delicious and healthy breakfast from Starbucks. I made some coffee...I've decided if teaching doesn't work out, I could always become a barista...BAHAHAHA! yeah right. I also got to pack a lunch that wasn't a loaf of bread...cause you never know when you'll want more...a jar of peanut butter and a container of honey...you wish you could pack a mean lunch like me!!

On the way to work, I jammed to Christmas music and kept repeating in my head...It's FRIDAY! You can do it! It's FRIDAY! You can do it! You can show a space video and grade papers because it's FRIDAY!!! Oh and I thought more about my door decoration theme and how it could be tweaked or if something else would work better....it's a wonder I made it to work...

Today at work, it was Friday...I'm not going into anymore details, except I had a male student stumble into a desk and hit the desk in the family jewels...then another student announces in front of the class, "he hit his peter on the desk and he needs some ice!" I needed something to add to some ice after hearing that. I also learned something today, I was shocked to learn at almost 30 what we need in order to survive on Earth...in case you thought it was an atmosphere, sun, and water...you're WRONG...it's lions, cats, and dogs...I don't know how I didn't know that...good thing I have one of the three...looks like I'm adding a lion to my Christmas list or maybe I'll get one for my birthday...even better, nothing says "Happy 30th!" like a LION. I really want to know how I'm still alive since I only have a dog??

I didn't leave work today until almost 6...yep Friday and I stayed until 6...I'm an overachiever...Teacher of the Year here I come....actually I did no work...I stayed up there venting with other coworkers...we're all getting Disgruntled Teachers of the Year...On the way home I realized that I hadn't peed all day...yes I know that is not good, but when you are so busy...eating chocolate...it's hard to find time...I was actually channeling Howdy because I knew he hadn't been out that whole time, so I didn't go either...we have that kind of bond...isn't it special. When we had both taken care of business (TMI) I decided I should play with him, so I was running around the house like a crazy woman who had just peed after holding it for 11 hours and being hopped up on chocolate, when I decided to run into the couch...I'm not sure when I'm going to see the large furniture objects that are sitting around...yesterday was the bed...that mother hurt...today was the couch to my knee...I'm not sure why they call that the funny bone because it's not funny...oh wait...wrong bone.

You know you've hit a new part of life, when you are watching TV and a PETCO commercial comes on and you get excited...What has happened to me?!?!?
