  • Things that make you go, "Wow, glad I'm not her!"

    Yep, just take a moment and breathe in that cool fresh air you have around you and humor my mind for a minute while you read this next little blurb. Writing this out made me feel so much better, I hope at least it gives you a chuckle and make you feel better in your own shoes today




    I forgot a very special appointment that I set up today. I can't believe I actually did that. It's so unlike me. I thought it was for tomorrow, but nope, it was for today.

    So, I'm vacuuming away with my new Hoover bagless vaccuum that I got on clearance for $30 to replace the aged old one we have. The phone rings, and I of course stop the motor and answer the phone.

    A warm "hello" and "don't worry" come back to me and of course my heart races like a stud on the Santa Anita race track. It's my professor on the other line. I have forgotten my final interview appointment was TODAY and not tomorrow. Oh, my $%#^$%. I profusly appologize to my professor and give her my best regards and appreciation for her understanding and calling me to rearrange for tomorrow. Oh, and so grateful she didn't ask me to come in today because, well, I'm not ready!!

    So, I hang up the phone and began to laugh histarically until tears are flowing, the dog is hiding, and I continue vacuuming.

    And do you know what the best part about this whole day is? Well, I opened the cansiter of the vacuum after I completed the sanity mission of not cracking up while vacuuming the house with my new toy, and I found a HUGE pile of dust, dirt, hair, you name it piled up in the cansiter.

    The dog looks at me and I look back at him. I'm guessing he's pretty thankful that I didn't come near him with the new toy or he'd be part of that new ball of dirt. So, I began to bang the canister against the box it came in, since it was sitting there out on the front proch anyways, and watch this stuff fall out. I am utterly amazed at myself and wonder what the heck took so long to buy a new vacuum cleaner.

    I know you all are thinking that we never vacuum. Wrong. It's done every other day, and Miss Grippy Britches gets all uppedy when she has to drag the monster out of the closet. Now she can be Miss Happy Britches once she gets a load of this new toy mama brought home with the cash from selling back my text books! WOo hoo!

    Ya, I'm very embarrased and perturbed about the whole ball of dust that collected in my vacuum cleaner, but just imagine how embarrased I'd be if I had realized what a dork I really am to forget the correct date of my 15 minute oral final interview for my education class. Yep, life is good when I stop to count what things I can control in my little box these days.



    And how is your day??

    Lisa--you're so lucky to have a great professor like that...but I think they understand that the whole teaching ed. process is LONG and STRESSFUL...luckily I had a good Student Teaching coordinator was very understanding about schedules...lawd knows I missed a meeting or two because of stress and my other job.

    I'm glad everything is working out for you, and hey, can you come to MY place and vacuum? It's a mess!

      Hey, I have a new vacuum too, except it's a Eureka! And a professor who emailed me to apologize for cutting me off on Saturday!

      I loved your vacuum story -- I have similar experiences, but with my cats . . .
