wow, for not wanting to write, I wrote a lot

12-7-12

I wasn’t going to write today.

I don’t even know how much I will write today. I am feeling just kind of bored with everything. Sure, there is I suppose some work I can do, but truly, with no boss man here, I have zero motivation. I did note that for some reason I can’t get into Facebook. I am guessing they have finally gotten wise and blocked us from the site. Then again, who knows what the real truth is.

The soccer meeting was over before 9, which was freaking awesome. Hell, it should have only been an hour long meeting, but the extra 45 minutes was a bunch of standard bullshit. I did find myself getting even more frustrated with Bandaid Bitch and her lap dog of a husband. Their arrogance and self-righteousness is truly sickening.

I did enjoy the minor conversation I had with two of the people I actually like. I was wearing my little bottle of “poison” necklace. T approached me and asked me what was in it. Without missing a beat I answered poison. She and D (names have been “changed” to protect the innocent) asked me what kind, and I explained I couldn’t tell them lest it somehow could implicate me in the future. They exchanged nervous laughter and it was pointed out that it was a black poison. I told them that this way you could slip it in something like soda and no one would know. D says, “You have given this way too much thought.” I ended the conversation with, “Well, I am not really a people person.”

“Santa” wrote the boys letters. I typed up a couple of letters and left them in front of the advent calendar for the boys yesterday so they would find them. Each were personalized, having Santa explain to them that they needed to be good in ways that were very specific to each. They were genuinely excited and surprised, which was happy making to see that the Santa magic is still alive in my household.

I have replaced some of my hourly arm circles with squats. My legs certainly hurt. I have no idea if it does any good. I suppose it makes my muscles stronger in general. That is not a bad thing.

I may be spending too much time on Pinterest since I am now interested in making a couple of the Christmas presents this year. Clearly I am delusional since we all know I don’t have an ounce of talent. I am an idea girl. I can come up with some fantastic plans. The doing? Not so much. I am really ok with this. I just think it is funny.

Hee! More paper boxes coming home with me today for wrapping of presents. We are putting all of the presents for the boys in these giant boxes. Some of the presents are small, some are large, but all are in giant boxes, which makes it all look cool under the tree. It is quite a bit of fun. I also have been trying to only put one or two under the tree at a time since it is fun watching Dax especially, who has basically been stalking the tree, note all the new presents. He is very observant about it.

I put together the holiday packets for Bobby’s class this morning. The good news is that it looks as though she didn’t give them 3 weeks worth of work. She only gave them one week, which is AWESOME. It means we can get this done at a much more leisurely pace. Plus, I can have him practice on book reports.

I have been making Dax do something different with his paragraphs each day. They fill out a sheet when they are in class with their name and the topic. I have been making him erase his name and write it nicely, and then add a date. I have been keeping all of his paragraph’s in a folder so the date will be nice to have. Plus, I figure it is good practice. I am trying to have them both do a little bit more advanced thinking since I know it will help them in the long run.

Bobby is anxious about his glasses. He keeps asking me if we get to pick them up yet. I expect a call any day now. I am tempted to email them, but they did say 2 weeks and it hasn’t quite been two weeks. I am anxious, too, since I really am curious as to how much it will help him. At the very least, it may help in the idea of it being like a placebo. Wearing glasses may in fact make him think he is smarter and therefore it will boost his confidence.

I do love the energy in my department today. It is very clear the boss is out and that the holidays are upon us. I was explaining my wrapping scheme, and you could tell they all find me crazy yet endearing at the same time. I like that there is more chit chat. It will hopefully make the day go by quickly.
