A FASCINATINGLY BUSY WEEK.....

Okay........

I lied.

It really wasn't that fascinating. Just busy.

Sunday night, my husband and I stayed with my nephews.  They are 10 and 6.. well, their brother, who is 16 was around... but, technically we weren't babysitting him.  Anyway, man, are we old.  Mark built a monorail system and a train system and yes, the living room looked like Disneyworld.  Actually, it sounded like it too... the stupid monorail kept welcoming us to Disney.  We had pizza, played some silly game show, where we were only allowed 'free talking' during the commercial time, which wasn't often enough, let me tell you, supervised bath and bedtime.. and whew... we were exhausted.  They are pretty cute though, and they do love their uncle!

One funny from the night, the older one, who is SUPER smart, was watching TV.  There was a Lysol commercial on. He turns to me, and says, 'do you use Clorox or Lysol to clean your toilet'.... I said, well, right now, I have Clorox... he said, you really should use Lysol, it's better on germs.   So, I guess going forward I'll be buying some Lysol!!

Speaking of cleaning... tomorrow is 'cleaning lady' day, so I had to go around and straighten up all the messes I lazily left this week.  Hey, I was busy....remember?  I had to spend one day at the mall, because of the Land Rover dealer, they were holding my car hostage... Okay, they did give me a BRAND NEW one to drive...but, I wasn't going HOME... I mean it's a good 1/2 hour away.

They made me shop all day.  Really.  I was forced to pick up some shoes... 3 pair....
and a purse... and some presents...but, I can't say what, the recipients read this...

I spent a good portion of a couple days in horror watching what was happening in Japan. My cousin's son lives there, (I guess he'd be my 2nd cousin?), he is okay, but,  I think it'd be a good time to visit home....the whole nuclear thing is scary.   Those poor people, what an unfathomable nightmare.

I also had an entire day of laundry and unpacking from my trip to Houston last week.... and I needed to chat on the phone, I had friends I needed to catch up with... you know.... 

And today, I taught 1st grade. It was a really fun day.  Love that age,  they were all WONDERFUL and I really did enjoy myself.  I looked funky though.....I had on a lavender shirt this morning, then remembered it was St. Patrick's Day.  I changed into green, of course, I am after all Irish.  I got to school, looked down at my GREEN shoes, and noticed I still had on the lavender striped socks... I was sporting a Pippy Longstocking look... weird.

I miss my job... not enough to work full time, but IF by some miracle they let me job share again...I'm there....

although........ that would hamper my traveling, and I did buy new luggage...



Happy St. Paddy's to you~
