I'm Doin' The Neutron Dance!!!!

I'm done with office hours forever and ever and ever and ever!!!!

I No Longer Have to Water the Yard or Harvest the Garden!!!

At church a neighbor across the street and I were comparing notes regarding are gardens. He asked if I had seen any "critters" in my backyard and had a funny look on his face. I mentioned that I saw a 2-3 in. snake and he laughed and said that he had helped one of our neighbors down the street and found several. When I told my husband, he looked at me sheepishly and informed me that our next door neighbor has seen a 2 foot snake a couple of times in her garden and just leaves it there to catch the mice. Since there is a gap beneath our fence and her yard, any guesses how happy I was to hear this? After stiffling a scream (since we were still at church) and giving him the "wifely glare", he informed me that I no longer needed to worry about the garden and backyard. He'll do it all for me. Gee . . . .ya, think?!

Let Them Eat Cake!

Okay, so I am just plain annoyed with our ward and am really looking forward to the day the ward boundaries change and some of the "clicks" are divided.

Today, Jim and I went to the bishop and told him we had some extra zucchini that we were willing to let others have for free since we had frozen all that we wanted and the plants keep blooming. (I just can't kill a plant just because I'm sick of them producing food. Bad karma!. . I know, dumb.) Since there are so many people who live in apartments and a lot of our ward is on church and government welfare, I thought there may be some people in need and would gladly take them off our hands. (They are over a $1 ea. at the store!) When he announced that a family had some available, and to see him after church for more information, all we heard was laughter. So . . . . guess we won't be so generous with sharing and if a calamity hits they can all "eat cake"!

Gender Wars

So my husband wakes up yesterday and ask, "Honey, is there anything you want to do to get out of the house today?" I immediately answer with an empathic yes and tell him of the errands I need to run, including going to the craft store to look at scrapbook and craft room organization items (my next project).

He then asked, "Okay, anything fun?"

What?! Going to a craft store not fun? Surely, he jests! hahahahahahaha

LOL Poor guy, he doesn't know what to do since I have so many project in the works and he doesn't have any right now. We definitely need to find him a hobby.

Am I Excited or What?!

It's my last day of office hours for ever and ever, whether I get hired permanently or not! Go ahead, ask me if I am excited!

Gotta Love This Time of Year!

I got to eat my first garden tomato today!! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Week 8 Evaluation!

Woohoo! Another evaluation and again all good marks. I was even told that I do excellent work! I so needed to hear this because a lot of my students are really giving me a hard time during their final week. The ones who have not been doing their reading or quality work all of class (such as plagiarizing their papers) are now suddenly realizing they are in big trouble for their final project. I even had one ask me to give her an example for each part of the final. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha . . .yeah, right! Oh well! Ask me how much sympathy I have right now?!

I have no problem helping those who really try and actually encourage them to ask questions. I love helping them out. It's so fun to see the lightbulb go off and they get excited about learning.

The ones who have this sense of entitlement, however, are too lazy to do their reading, and want me to basically do their work for them . . . . ggrrrrrrrrrr.

3 more days of office hours! 1 more round of papers! 1 more discussion question! 1 more week until vacation! Every night there is a countdown.
