I think I survived

Just finished my first week of school (but really Kindergarten only went one day-Friday) and I think I survived-we didn't lose any kids, only 2 in tears and for only part of the day, and only 1 child with wet pants. All in all I would say it was successful. I woke up early Friday morning with every intention of exercising before I went to school but just couldn't get out of bed-and then was glad I didn't. I sweated all day (not that you want to know that, but. . .its my blog I can write what I want too :)). I felt like I was performing. I had to keep the attention of 26 5 year olds (which is not easy let me tell you) and try to keep them from asking-when is lunch, when is it time to go home, where is my mom. . . I am just glad I wore black so it wasn't completely obvious and I tried to stay far enough away from people that they couldn't smell me :). Aren't you glad you weren't there!

Wonder Wind 1250 (have you even heard of that brand before?)

So I have a bone to pick with mom. I have been using grandpa's old blowdryer since I moved into the ranch over 4 years ago. He passed away 10 years before that and who knows when the blowdryer was purchased, so needless to say it is a bit antique but I have never had a problem with it-that is until about a week ago. I was defrosting my freezer and Mom was at my house. I was trying Dawn's method of defrosting using my blowdryer when mom made the comment that my blowdryer was really old and didn't sound very good. I thought it sounded normal. Well that must have hurt my blowdryers feelings (if blowdryers have feelings) because exactly 2 days later my blowdryer died:(. Now I am not able to use the term "blowdryed my hair" or "blew dry my hair" (Scott did you ever determine which one was more correct). Wet hair thrown back in a pony tail is the way I'm going. I can't quite bring myself to purchase a new blowdryer-anyone know if there is an old one for sale on ebay?:)

I almost DRANK A WHOLE GALLON OF MILK almost ALL BY MYSELF!

Unless you read between the lines you should be very proud of this grand accomplishment, but for those of you who are less than impressed let me give you some history so you too can glow with pride. I am not a milk drinker. I usually am impressed with myself if I drink a cup a week. I generally have an almost full 1/2 gallon of sour milk in my fridge at all times (just ask my dad-he has too often found this out the hard way). I always have good intentions and buy milk with an expiration date at least 2 weeks out, but even with only that amount I usually only drink a cup or 2 before it goes bad-this time, I drank it all by myself (well except for the glass dad drank and the 3/4 cup unfortunately did go sour). Good job Charity! Now please pass the cookies.
