Study or blog, that is the question

I'm waxing Shakespearean this morning, lol.  I came to the libray with the best of intentions.  I was going to edit a project for school before heading to work.  However, fate dealt me a cruel hand.  When I opened the file, I discovered the library computer had a different version of Word.  What's a girl to do? I mean seriously.  Why spend time reformatting it when I could just wait and work on it after I get home. Right? RIGHT?!?! Who is with me? "Work smarter, not harder" is my motto. So, you can obviously see which decision I made.  Really, it was the only rational one. :D


So, let's get you caught up on what is happening in my little corner of the world.  Shall we? 
  • Favorite recent B.ism "my private anger issues are my business!!" Said after I was trying to give her better anger management techniques than screaming "I hate you" @ the taekwondo instructor when she becomes frustrated.
  • Started B. on a med for ADHD. She is doing AWESOME! Woot!
  • J is still perfecting the surly youth persona.
  • Celebrated 17th anniversary by vomiting the very expensive dinner I had eaten. Blech.
  • Got a second dinner out of the deal though. :D
  • Went to a wine tasting where the owner became more talkative the more she drank. ;)
  • Started PT last week.  Experiencing some mixed emotions, let me tell you.
  • Started orientation as the substitute nurse for the school district.
  • Getting caught up on projects around the house since I am more mobile.
That's enough about me.  What is going on with you? Anything new, fun, and/or exciting?? C'mon, spill ...

Friday Funnies -- courtesy of the Mayor (of Crazytown, that is)

Today's guest post courtesy of the wildly amusing Crazytown Mayor; Check out her blog @ http://crazytownmayor.com/blog/ 

As The Mayor of Crazy Town, she has dozens of minions doing scut work, & protecting her from negative press. Typically, her usual press kit goes like this:


Join The Mayor of Crazy Town as she juggles 4 kids under 12, through the ups, downs, & upside downs of parenting! A tongue-in-cheek look at a day in the life of Mommyhood...you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll run screaming to the nearest therapist. So sit back & enjoy the ride…but don’t bother trying to gnaw through the straps, it’s just not worth it most days. Someone will be around with the meds once your eyeballs start bleeding.

But that doesn’t cover my biting sarcasm, my mad skills in slinging caustic barbs, (or maybe it does…), nor, of course, my deep & abiding love for those four little rug rats of mine. Crazy Town began with the realization that I would soon be on my own…my littlest starts Kindergarten in the Fall. As the panic set in after 12 years of devoting my everything to the kidlets, I knew I now needed something all my own lest I find myself stalking the school yard just to be near them. Which brought me back to my first love, writing. In doing so, I discovered that we are ALL residents of Crazy Town & having the forum to vent & share allows us, occasionally, to make it past the borders of The Edge Of Reason & The Brink Of Insanity & get to a place where we feel normal & accepted…despite the bleeding eyeballs & recently acquired twitch. And of course, a huge shout out to Tammy for welcoming such insanity to grace the pages of her blog!
I am humbled & honoured to be guest posting for Tammy today! It’s always so validating to have your peers appreciate you, & it is this sense of community that has been my biggest reward for blogging! Friday’s in Crazy Town are all about the funny stuff, be it an e-mail, video, or personal story…whatever it was that brought you some laughs during those long hectic weeks, with the idea being to start the weekend off right, sharing some laughs with our friends. Tammy was kind enough to offer up her page for this week’s Friday Funny from the office of The Mayor! I thought she might appreciate the theme I chose!





I don’t even have to be a nurse to know that last one is true! Hope you all enjoyed the Friday giggles, & if you have a Friday Funny of your own that you want to share, post it & link it up in Crazy Town! Finally, a blog hop that’s not just another chore! Thanks so much to Tammy for hosting this week’s edition, & for welcoming me to her world! I greatly appreciate the opportunity to be here, & share some light hearted fun with your readers!


Signed,

The Mayor!
