So, no sleep last night, combined with my first thought this morning, "Is it a freakin' full moon or sumthin'?", plus crabby/crazy/weird crap at work, add a dash of crazy revelry with instruments, adults, and cute loud girls = total lunar eclipse ( Read more... )

I will admit this thought is probably the end result of oxygen deprivation. Do you think the reason I can't breath many days out of the year is because asthma is a sign of an evolutionary process?

Okay, we are on the third night in a row where Bebe goes to bed, then wakes up a few hours later terrified. The first 2 nights she shrieked, "the man, the man", but last night I found her 2 hours after she went to bed cowering in the back of her bed crying. WTF is happening ( Read more... )

I am so happy my bright and shiney new intern starts today and meets with me at 1:00. I am so excited, I am going to give her my syllabus for the remaining semester and next semester. I get to give my famous, "I may overwhelm you, but you need to use your voice to say so" speech. I get to tell her about contraband and my secret stash ( Read more... )

I have been insanely swamped...overwhelmed, etc ( Read more... )
