Colbie Caillat
I LUV MUSIC!!! I would just about call it a passion of mine. While I was driving to work this morning, a great new artist came on the radio, with a really "happy" song called Bubbly. This new artist is Colbie Caillet. I don't know much about her other than what I found on her MySpace page. You've got to listen to the little diddy above... especially pleasant when you need a little pick-me-up ;-) Colbie Caillat kind of reminds me of Sandi Thom. If you don't know her song, I Wish I Was a Punkrocker it's one you've got to listen to... it just so happens that I have it here for you too!

I Be Scrappin'!
In a room full of sleep-deprived, paper addicted women, you know there's going to be gossip. We met up with a couple of girls we had scrapped with before and started "talking". Conversation moved to the topic of "school". One girl, Amy (married young and mother of 3 boys), says, "I went to college for six years and I got two degrees... the "M-R-S" and "P-R-E-G"!" We cracked up laughing ;-)

Then and Now

I'm tired...
I hate to complain, but I am tired this week already. This was my agenda today alone:
- Put Dylan on bus
- Take Erin to orthodontist for 8AM
- Run by WD's office to drop off his badge
- Head to work
- Work through multiple issues at the office until 5PM
- Rush out of the office to head home (fielding various calls on cell while maneuvering through traffic and rain)
- Get home... greeted by hyper dog, loud TV, and 2 kids who need food/baths/HW help/lunch money/responses to teacher correspondence
- Pack Erin up to take her to dance
- While she's in dance, run to the middle school for open house where there was a chaotic meet and greet in the gym where no one could hear, it was hot, and there were two huge piles of vomit sprayed across the gym floor
- Quickly leave the middle school to head back to dance studio to get Erin
- Run into studio to order dance shoes and pay dance fees
- Do McD's drivethru
- Head home to get kids bathed, Bibles read, prayers and tucked into bed
- I sit down to eat my McD's salad while responding to personal e-mails
- Chat with WD briefly on the phone since he's settling down for bed after going out to dinner with the guys in Houston, TX on business
- Print out my assignment for ETEC 5700 Technology Leadership course
- Blog ;-)
- Wash face/brush teeth and jump in bed (trying not to think of the day I have to juggle tomorrow).
I hope you keep reading my blog even after this profusely overdramatic bout of "whining".
