Signs of Insanity

Unplugged

I'm here.
I've been spending my days soaking up the goodness of my parents, planting my garden, finishing my table, pushing my kids in swings, eating, eating, and eating, completing a fence, teaching preschoolers about trees and transportation, identifying bugs, dealing with MORE ear infections (seriously), and planning a fabulous, but totally last minute vacation to Disney World.

I've been spending spending my nights giving haircuts, catching up on bills, laundry, and all things I'd rather neglect while my folks are here, and writing/editing a series of 8 page essays for World Lit, which because of the date of our lil' Florida vaycay, are now all due one week earlier.
I just emailed the last one. I am soooooo over night school until Fall.
Give me my family.

Bring on the weekend!

Also, I think I'm going to close my Facebook account.
I haven't missed it at all.

Weather Report...I'm a little stressed out.

Dear Aaron,
I'm sorry to report that you should expect some major weather delays in your marriage in the next 24-48 hrs.

current temperature = cold and cranky
climate = stressed
forecast = more whining, heavy showers, followed by a meltdown and possible binge eating

I hope to report a change in the awful weather you're experiencing soon...but you probably should not expect a break from Tropical Storm Mean Meg until Tuesday (after this exam is over with, the house is put back together, the kids have returned to a state of non-crazy, and I've slept longer than 4 hours).

Until then, it might be best to:
-wear layers (you'll need some thick skin with the irrational complaint hailstorm headed your way)
-avoid direct contact
-don't try to fix it. Everyone knows there's nothing you can do control bad weather. You're just gonna have to wait it out.
-stock up on chocolate ice cream and just hunker down until the storm passes
-buy more cake, too...and some Cheetos. Why are there no Cheetos in this house?!

Sincerely,
Your Wife.
