I wrote a post this afternoon on the last little droplet of battery acid… and it promptly closed the whole world down the second I thought I had clicked “save” or whatever. Just goes to show ya. On a lighter note I wore my pink boots to school today since it was raining and pouring and really I felt like snoring thru the morning. But schlepped the children and myself to school, promptly at our appointed hours.
And class was cancelled. I’ve been feeling peaked myself so I did not at all begrudge Mrs. L. her untimely (and incredibly convenient) illness. I was then able to continue to “memorize” my 2 minute talk in Dr. C’s class. Which I swear to you was a 2 minute talk till I forgotted like 38 seconds of it. Seriously. The boys and I typed it up and recorded me on the web cam, and somewhat also recorded them on the webcam. I wish I knew where it saved those videos, because they’re probably pretty cute. The O’boyzies would hand me stuff to use. “Here mom, you should hold up the ball of yarn, here, the crochet hook” and I had I swear to you, one minute fifty beautiful seconds of it. Which I seem to have blacked out for, I heard myself babbling about how fabulous a fad Amigurumi was in Japan, and not including anything about how I make my own patterns for the little stuffed animals because I know all the stitches, whatever. I’m excited to see what grade I got. If I missed a point for going under a minute fifty, maybe I got a point for never ever saying Uuummm…
The rain this morning surprised me. I dragged my butt out the door and the little boys frolicked about and cavorted round the driveway in the rain till I got the garage door open. Little bit slippery in the rain. I didn’t think it was that bad till I walked out in it. So I of course decided to don complete rain gear. Galoshes and a rain jacket. Which guaranteed I’d be sweltering all day but hey, who doesn’t feel cheery in pink boots. Oh and lots of caffeinated goodness. And ibuprofin. Yeah I was in a great mood today. Don’t forget pain and misery are optional.
