Furkid Friday (WARNING: GRAPHIC)

FML

Today after barely making it through my night class (I seriously caught myself nodding off at least 15 times) I walk out to the parking lot to discover my tire is flat as hell with a huge nail in it. I call for help only to find that my spare won't come off properly so I had to leave it at school until I can have it towed to the tire shop tommorrow. I ate stale Lucky Charms for dinner and if I don't get to bed soon I'm gonna have a meltdown. FML

Ups and Downs

This week has been a light one so far at school. Rachel Zoe started again. I love, love, love that show. I'm becoming a regular Bravo addict. I also have developed a lusting for the I Phone after my sister got one for her birthday. The 8 gig is $100 right now. I don't know yet if I'm ready to dump my Blackberry, it's seen me through my last year of college and first real job out of school. I had a Treo before that and absolutely hated it. Palm sucks.

On the downside, K's brother in law is on his last leg in his battle with cancer. I hate to see her and J hurting but their family is coming together and they're gonna get through it. Another downer, is the dog fight I had to break up after working all night last night. General and Moo got into it and Moo lost. I knew owning bully breeds that the day would come when I'd potentially have 2 that could never play together and today is that day. We are on a crate and rotate basis with them from now on and I'm suprisingly more ok with it than I thought I'd be. Poor Moo was sedated and had drainage tubes put in his chest. Poor baby is wearing an E collar for the next five days.

Sick Day

I'm taking my first web class this semester and I'm not too sure about it. The professor posted an assignment on Saturday that is due Monday at midnight. I did manage to get it all done but if I had worked all weekend it would've been impossible.

I went home sick on Saturday night. I started feeling bad Friday night right before I left work and woke up Saturday feeling horrible. I went into work that night then went home. I got some much needed rest and I'm not running fever anymore but I'm still stopped up and sneezing like crazy.

I feel super old. My little sister turned 18 today. We had a little family get-together at my grandma's with dumplings, corn, green beans, peas, biscuits and apple pie. I have 1 class tommorrow and 1 chapter left in my readings so I've got to get on the Praxis work because the test is in 3 weeks. After that, I feel like I can finally relax.

Mickey D's Meltdown

When bad things start happening they seem to keep happening until a huge hot mess pile of trouble is accumulated. One tragedy in a group of friends is sure to bring on a few more. But as sure as everything's falling apart one minute, you turn around and it's suddenly ok. I wish I could say that now was the ok part but it's not.

I had a minor meltdown today because I've been dealing with alot and not sleeping properly and forgetting to eat some days. After I went and got my nails done which consisted of me listening to a crying baby and 2 stressed out older children that need to start school TODAY rather than next week or their momma is gonna commit murder. On the way home, I realized that I hadn't eaten since some point yesterday or maybe it was the day before so I decided to be quick and whip in to McDonald's. Well I got home and discovered that the folks working there decided I needed a Filet O Fish with cheese instead of whatever I ordered so instead of going back or getting something else, I had a meltdown. The Filet O Fish is the most disgusting thing on the planet and I know the chicken nuggets I fatassed it and ordered weren't much healthier but they sure aren't Filet O Fish. The dogs are my only witnesses so I don't feel so bad about it but it was pretty unnecessary.

Tommorrow is a new day.

Aaaaahhh

School started Monday and so far, I have a handle on things but only because it's the first week. Moo will be starting school again too. We have to complete one more set of obedience classes before we move on to the CGC (Canine Good Citizen). I ran into his teacher at work tonight and we are going to do a private training to substitute for the intermediate because where she's working now combines Basic and Intermediate and what he took before was Puppy and Basic combined.

All this stuff is making me waaay to busy. I have to meet an old friend for drinks sometime next week and most likely, that'll be the only thing other than school and studying for Praxis that I do. I have one chance to pass it and less than a month to finish studying. I'm going to a clinic on the 29th that hopefully will help me. Tonight I'll get 6 hours of sleep before class then I have to come home and study plus do housework. I feel like I'm burning the candle at both ends already.

Back to School

My gazillion dollars in tuition, books and fees has been paid. I have finished shamelessly begging to be let in my last 2 classes and got my .edu email problem, that I ignored most of my undergrad life, fixed for good. I have my paper, binders, pens and hi-lighters. Praxis II has been scheduled and prayers are needed now to insure my passing on September 12th. I am 2 semesters and a summer away from teaching some kindergarten hellions. Thank God!

Now, I can sit back and relax on this Fab Friday since I'm off work. This closet still isn't done but I make deadlines just to break em so no biggie. I noticed one of the electronic billboards had an ad for a free consultation from the closet makeover people so I may entertain the thought of calling them up "just to see".

I'm going to get a haircut at 3:00. I used to have it fairly short (a little above my shoulders) then I let it grow pretty long but now I'm just tired of it. I have to wear it up for work so I need something that'll fit in a pony tail but I also want something that just doesn't lay there when it's down. I trust T so I'm sure whatever she comes up with will be great.
