Get Your Umbrella

It's a Rainy Day WNBP!  I've also run out of clever ways to introduce the Wednesday Night Bullet Post so why don't we just take a look at today's highlights?  

*Like I said...it was a very, very rainy day.  Yesterday was hot and humid and the kids didn't want to do any work because of the sweltering condition of the classroom.

*Today they were all grumpy and logy from the lack of sunlight.  I was tired, too.  But the students were not exceptionally interested in my feelings today.  They just wanted to share theirs.  Loudly.  And Repeatedly.  While they lay on any available surface.

*8.5 days left.  

*Things have taken an ugly turn in the AeroGarden.  It seems that, even with a fool-proof "plug 'n grow" contraption that comes with its own system for watering and feeding, I can still kill growing things.

*Let's all observe a moment of silence for the Savory.  It never had a chance...

*I've got Basil and Mint coming out of my ears, though.  That's good enough.  I was never really too sure just what Savory was to begin with.

*Today, I stopped off at The Convenience Store Where They Call You Honey Or Sweetie And You Sort Of Like That because there was a deep resonating need for a gigantic bottle of Mountain Dew stirring within me.  

*I have a new purse.  We blame this on my Cheerful Teaching Assistant because she was talking about getting a new purse and then I couldn't stop thinking about purses and it all fell apart from there.

*But things balanced out because she had to go out and buy new Crocs after she saw the cool, new sandals that I got myself for my birthday.  She spent more than I did...

*My new purse has a well-placed outer pocket right in the front where I might keep my wallet so I can get to it easily.  Very convenient...

*Except when you are all tired and it's raining.  And you don't remember that this is where you keep the wallet and you look all stupid at The Convenience Store Where They Call You Honey And Sweetie And You Kind Of Like That.  

*Then you just look sort of stupid.  

*But they know me there and let me take my soda with me while I went to find my wallet.  Which I located in that well-placed pocket when I got out to the car.  

*Then I had to weigh my options.  Would I look more stupid if I ran back in and paid them?  Or would it be completely unreasonable to just pretend it had been stolen and go file a police report?  Maybe sit through a few line-ups...

*I'll let you sit and think on that one...

*I finished some of The Index Cards Of Summer Organization today while I was pedaling the little exercise bike this afternoon.  I now have knitting, spinning, self-improvement and household tasks all organized for my upcoming summer vacation.

*I've already crossed off three things.  Not because I did them, but because I had a Moment Of Clarity.

*I'm not really gonna do all that.  We all know it.  Let's just stop pretending.  Honesty between us is a good thing.  

*I'll probably add more stuff I won't do tomorrow.  I like making lists.  I like it a lot.

*I just don't like doing things, is all.  I'm more of a "sit and ponder it" type of gal.  

*I am, however, going to schedule in a few Wallet Location Role Playing Exercises.  You know, pretend I'm at the store and reach for my wallet like a real, live grown-up who knows where all her stuff is.  That could be a helpful sort of thing to do rather that just cross it off the list without even really doing it.  

And so ends another Wednesday here in Sheepie Land.  I've no Savory with which to season my dinners, I can't find my wallet without a map and a guide dog and my lists are mocking me.  Or, as I like to call it:  The Norm.  Happy Mid-Week to all and may your wallets fairly leap into your hands when you call them.
