A Love Letter

Dear "Pope" who left that stupid comment in my blog,

Kiss my ass.

Love,
The God Hater.

ps. Next time leave your real name instead of being a total p*ssy.

I guess I don't have to keep it a secret anymore...

So, we were pregnant. And now we're not. And it sucks. This is the third time this has happened. And I hate God. The End.

p.s. On a totally different note, I signed up for Beta Blogger, and now it won't let me comment on anyones blog who doesn't use Beta. And I can't switch back. Yet another way I'm being crapped on. Oh yeah, and I have a bad cold. God really hates me back.

Say A Little Prayer

Without getting into details, I could really use some good vibes this week. Things aren't going well and anything good you can send my way would really be appreciated. I'll try to share more later, but I wanted to let you know that I might not be blogging for a little while.

The Coolest Dream EVER!

I had a dream that Karen and I were on The Amazing Race! We were trying to get on a train to Chicago and we were the only team that was able to sweet talk the conductor into letting us take an earlier train than our ticket stated! It was awesome! When we got there we realized that we didn't have anywhere to sleep and all of the hotels were full because of some big football game. But that was okay, we slept in a 24 hour mall! Premonition or wishful thinking?

A Story About the Bathroom that's "Oh So True"!

I got this as a forward and it made me smile. I'm sure all you ladies will enjoy it as well.

When you have to visit a public bathroom, you usually find a line of women, so you smile politely and take your place. Once it's your turn, you check for feet under the stall doors. Every stall is occupied. Finally, a door opens and you dash in, nearly knocking down the woman leaving the stall. You get in to find the door won't latch. It doesn't matter.

The dispenser for the modern "seat covers" (invented by someone's Mom, no doubt) is handy, but empty. You would hang your purse on the door hook, if there were one, but there isn't - so you carefully but quickly drape it around your neck, (Mom would turn over in her grave if you put it on the FLOOR!), yank down your pants, and assume "The Stance."

In this position your aging, toneless thigh muscles begin to shake. You'd love to sit down, but you certainly hadn't taken time to wipe the seat or lay toilet paper on it, so you hold "The Stance." To take your mind off your trembling thighs, you reach for what you discover to be the empty toilet paper dispenser. In your mind, you can hear your mother's voice saying, "Honey, if you had tried to clean the seat, you would have KNOWN there was no toilet paper!" Your thighs shake more. You remember the tiny tissue that you blew your nose on yesterday - the one that's still in your purse. That would have to do. You crumple it in the puffiest way possible. It is still smaller than your thumbnail.

Someone pushes open your stall door because the latch doesn't work. The door hits your purse, which is hanging around your neck in front of your chest, and you and your purse topple backward against the tank of the toilet. "Occupied!" you scream, as you reach for the door, dropping your precious, tiny, crumpled tissue in a puddle on the floor, lose your footing altogether, and slide down directly onto the TOILET SEAT. It is wet of course. You bolt up, knowing all too well that it's too late. Your bare bottom has made contact with every imaginable germ and life form on the uncovered seat because YOU never laid down toilet paper - not that there was any, even if you had taken time to try. You know that your mother would be utterly appalled if she knew, because, you're certain, her bare bottom never touched a public toilet seat because, frankly, dear, "You just don't KNOW what kind of diseases you could get."

By this time, the automatic sensor on the back of the toilet is so confused that it flushes, propelling a stream of water like a firehose that somehow sucks everything down with such force that you grab onto the toilet paper dispenser for fear of being drag ged in too. At that point, you give up. You're soaked by the spewing water and the wet toilet seat. You're exhausted. You try to wipe with a gum wrapper you found in your pocket and then slink out inconspicuously to the sinks.

You can't figure out how to operate the faucets with the automatic sensors, so you wipe your hands with spit and a dry paper towel and walk past the line of women, still waiting. You are no longer able to smile politely to them. A kind soul at the very end of the line points out a piece of toilet paper trailing from your shoe. ( Where was that when you NEEDED it??) You yank the paper from your shoe, plunk it the woman's hand and tell her warmly, "Here, you just might need this."

As you exit, you spot your hubby, who has long since entered, used and left the men's restroom. Annoyed, he asks, "What took you so long, and why is your purse hanging around your neck?"

This is dedicated to women everywhere who deal with a public restroom (rest??? you've got to be kidding!!). It finally explains to the men what really does take us so long. It also answers their other commonly asked question about why women go to the restroom in pairs. It's so the other gal can hold the door, hang onto your purse and hand you Kleenex under the door.

My First Day of School

Well, today was the first day with kids. It was only a half day so that made it go by really fast, but I have a feeling it's going to go by that fast on full days too, at least at first. Many of the kids that I have this year seem very interested in Language Arts (for once!) and many seemed organized and ready to go. A drastic change from last year's kids already. I only had three kids not bring their required school supplies to Homeroom.

I only had to yell at one kid, and I have the feeling we won't be very good friends, but he'll survive. =)

Nothing really exciting happened. I sweated a lot. We had a meeting about Tourettte's and the video we watched was very well done, and very sad. We have a 5th grader in the building this year that has it.

So I'm back into a routine and I'll make sure to share more exciting days when I have them.
