I’ve spent the morning talking like a cross between Baljeet from Phineas and Ferb and Gloria from Modern Family. It is great fun. You should try it.
I just dropped off my youngest girls at school, and now I have 20 minutes until it’s time to get Mr. T. It’s a furlough Friday, some crazy new addition to this year’s school calendar to help compensate for the paycut they gave to teachers. The kids are in school about two hours, but with the way the start and stop times are staggered at the three schools, I’m basically getting kids up and ready for school and picking them up for like 5 hours. Can I hear a good frick?
Another crazy new addition to this year’s school calendar is “Professional Growth Wednesday” where the kids all get out of school 1 1/2 hours early. Three out of four Wednesdays are “Professional Growth Wednesday”. For some reason this name really ooks me out. I’m thinking it’s the word “growth”. Growth. Growth. Growth. Eech!
You would think with as much time as I’ve spent away from the blog, I would have all kinds of glorious accomplishments to report, but we’re talking about me here. I have been in full avoidance mode, still trying waiting to recover from operation make my house less crappy with the new paint and carpet, which thus far has not been the resounding success I was led by myself to believe. It’s pretty much gone from Bythelbs’s House of Crap to Bythelbs’s House of Crap, now with new carpet and paint! Perhaps we’ll talk more about this next week.
Well, hopefully I’ll be back when the week is new and I’ll have more ideas for you. And you’ll have things you’ll want to talk about. I will too.
Remember, people can like you exactly as you are.




I like you just the way you are! You can now call me Mr. Rogers. For life.
And good frick!!
I love mr. Rogers. Gloria is a great character–all except for the boobs.
Good Frick!!
But the new carpet and paint make the crap look classy! Black bean soup recipe is up on my blog. http://www.blogger.com/publish-confirmation.g?blogID=23770956&postID=7836809394439318410×tamp=1318710817065&javascriptEnabled=true
