I'm in hell, y'all. I've been packing, moving, unpacking, and helping my boss relocate to 3 different places from 2 different places this past month. I've hit a wall. I'm sitting here at my desk, insisting I had very important stuff to do, but really I'm eating banana bread and cherries visiting the SKMB. I doubt I'll have time to finish my whining and complaining before the board closes. Let me just say - do everyone in your life a favor and don't keep what's not necessary. Toss your junk mail every day, if you haven't opened a box in 10 years, send it to be shredded - you do not need to keep everything that holds a memory - memories live in your heart not in the material objects they are connect too. Your kids or admins will thank you And someone needs to invent a user friendly packing tape. I'd say at least 25% of my time has been spent fishing the packing tape back off the roll or bandaging my shredded knuckles from the tape gun teeth. I swear I'm dying. I'm turning off my phone and going to the lake this weekend. A little time at the water with no background noise but the birds will fix me right up. Plus, I'll have a new boss when I come back to work. Weird.

((Holly-girl)) Hang in there! Enjoy the lake!

I am wondering what happened to the hot and sunny we were promised for today. I need hot and sunny.

DH bought a new BBQ. He ordered a new cover with it. The BBQ arrived...but not the cover. We put it together, and have been using something to cover it...but it's not very good. Finally, the real cover arrived last night. But we need the BBQ to dry before we put it on.

Ya...I know.....first world problems.

I would LOVE to hear more about that, when you have the time and inclination.
....I appreciate that, and it's not as fascinating as it might sound....it was at some County Fair or festival, and I was doing one of my radio gigs....thought it would be a hoot to go meet the man.....yowza!.....hot Summer day and he's dressed all in black, except for a white shirt & string tie....his jacket was of the old long tailed style....his body odor was palpable from a few feet away, and he looked through you when he spoke....like somebody else was the mental wheel and had lost their drivers license....very creepy vibe....the kind where you wanted to make sure no children got around him and you bathed in peroxide when you got home....and to boot, his answers were just strange.....I don't think I got one useable quote out of that entire interview.....

Having worked with many kids in special education, I always just accept when a person looks through me. It's odd....when I was a student myself it was something I hated. I always assumed the person didn't think I was worth their time, like they were trying to just get away. I have since learned, it usually means something completely different.

As for the rest....sounds a lot like a politician I once met. My school invited everyone running in our area and had it set up in the cafeteria. The one guy smelled so horrible, nobody could eat in the caf for a few days. Wouldn't let that guy near children either.
