Mama told me there would be days like this
I don't know why, but everything my kids say today grates on my nerves. I have a decent relationship with my kids, normally I am highly interested in what they have to say, but tonight I just wanted to be left alone.

Today at work, I was having a conversation with the office manager. The office manager and the literacy coach are angry with each other about something, I don't know what. I knew they were having problems with each other - the literacy coach had told me last week that they were. The literacy coach asked me why I was talking with the office manager and told me I was "fraternizing with the enemy." I'm sorry, literacy coach, but I am not studying who you are mad at. I'm trying to get along and have a decent school year. I haven't always been best buddies with this office manager myself, but at least we are both trying.

A few minutes ago I was trying desperately to delete an extra period from the end of a sentence. It turned out to be a speck on my screen.

On the bright side:

Last night, I woke up in the night to go to the bathroom, and Bitsy, my skittish little dog we have adopted, was actually snuggling with me on her own incentive. This is a big step for her. When I raised my head and looked at her, I promise you she smiled at me.

I've figured out how to go on iTunes and download TV shows and movies onto my computer. Since Boston Legal went off in 2008, I haven't found anything else I like to watch. I now have two episodes at my disposal! I also have Mary Poppins. Gone with the Wind is on there, but I haven't gotten it yet. This is "big doings" to little me. Remember when you just had to watch what was on right then and that was it?

I cooked my own favorite supper - something I do when things aren't going well. Chicken and rice mixed together with cream of chicken soup, and green beans. Hurrah! Sometimes it pays to be the cook. {evil smirk}
