My body clock is so screwed up. It never fails that I have to get up to pee 30 minutes before my alarm goes off. I thought it was just a natural 5:30am thing, but lo and behold this morning I awoke to my urging bladder at 4:30am. Now, when I realized it was only 4:30, I thought, sweet, I get another hour and a half. Only when I was walking back to the bedroom did I remember I had to get up at 5 so I could be at work early for a meeting! Damn bladder!
This really puts a damper in my mornings. I'm just saying!

Not so fun weekend
Our weekend started out great. A night out to a family fun event that our local town puts on one Friday a month. There is a band, lots of bevies of your liking, and a little bounce house extravaganza for the kiddos! So, we let Little Hauss jump and slide to his hearts content while we sipped on some refreshing Bud Lite Lime - our new favorite!
Saturday morning was full of pancakes and lots of siryup (as Little Hauss says) until he spiked a favor (his term) of 102 mid morning! It came out of nowhere and he was out of commission the rest of the day. We laid around aimlessly all day until it was time for him to go to Gigi's for the night. He was all about it, despite the yuckiness and we had somewhere we were supposed to be (already paid for) so we thought he'd be ok. I no more than dropped him off, and got back home before we got a call that he had puked all over the place.....my mom's bed, floor, everywhere!!! So, needless to say, we picked him up and kept him with us the rest of the night. I would normally never leave him that sick with just anyone and would gladly cuddle with him all night even if I had somewhere to be, but since it was my mom, I thought he'd be ok......boy was I wrong! He just got too hot and yacked only the one time!!! Thank goodness for us! By Sunday, he was feeling much better, but the fun didn't stop there.
I tweaked my neck muscle AGAIN, and was useless last night and this morning. Hubby had to get up on his one day to sleep in to take me to work and drop off Little Hauss at school. I only lasted until about 9:30 and came home to a wonderful concoction of a heating pad, advil and muscle relaxers. That got me through the day (in and out of consciousness) and now I'm somewhat mobile.....not 100%, but getting there....another dose of that after Little Hauss gets to bed, and hopefully by tomorrow I'll be golden.

Test Prep...Finally
So, I'm 15 days (well, pretty much 14 considering today is almost over and I'm going out tonight) away from my test. I had a mental breakdown when I started "reviewing" the study guide. I basically looked at it, decided it was all foreign to me, then placed it back in my "office" (the room in our house that is refered to as an office, but really just holds anything and everything not needed at that moment) and ordered a book online to help me. The book should help me remember what all this stuff means and it should help me prepare for the test. So, I waited, and checked the mailbox anxiously everyday like the kid from "A Christmas Story" does while he is expecting his Ovaltine Secret Annie workbook thing! So, I was just as thrilled as him to find that what came in the mail was useless and not what I needed - ya know when he finally spells out the secret message and all it says is "Drink More Ovaltine." What a crock!
Well, this one was my fault, but I guess I just dind't realize that I ordered the WRONG book!!! I was loving Amazon for having it and when I was searching used, new, etc, I guess I accidently clicked on the wrong one. So, I immediately corrected the situation and reordered the CORRECT book and it got here pronto!!! It looks good and hopefully will be able to help infuse my old brain with all this math knowledge and get me through this test.
But not until tomorrow.....tonight, we party!

Lesson Learned
From JR911 and her post on Fruit Snacks and a Glock! I am trying her approach to this foul attitude I have. I was better over the weekend (imagine that!!) but as soon as I got back to work yesterday, it was a rush of grouchiness! So, I had started this whiney post about something that occured this morning and I was pretty cross about, but after some thought and consideration on my part, I realized that I can be the bigger person and take the high road.
I'm going to work on that! Really think positively and try not to let all this piddly stuff bother me like it has been!

Curlz
I am so not talking about the font! I'm talking about Hurr!
My mother had stick straight hair growing up. She would pay lots and lots of money to have perms and waves. She went through sets of hot rollers, steam rollers, curling irons, and not to mention tons of hairspray to keep all those curls in place - beacause hair like hers (and mine) doesn't hold curl long!
Then, BAM, at 40, she had curly hair. Really? What the hell happened? Now, she wears it curly (sometimes on the frizzy side if the weather isn't cooperating) or straight - with the help of a FAT curling iron or flat iron. I thought nothing of this miraculous (horrifying) event, until a couple of years ago - ok, so more like 3 years and 9 months ago (um when Little Hauss was born) because all of sudden I had this teensy weensy little curly-q at my hairline! Now, I spoke with my hurr girl and she said it was new hair, but just this little bitty strand that has a mind of its own. It never grows out into a full strand, well, it does, but just to be replaces with the same damn thing! It is sooooo bad in the summer or when it is unbearably humid out (um, did I mention I live in Southwest VA, so its freakin humid ALL the time), so all summer I have a curl. This would be ok if I had longer hair to cover it up or bangs, but I don't. I have a cow-lick too so bangs are not an option....and I've tried that - only to look about 12 years old again (um, wedding day hurr disaster). This curl (kind of reminds me of a piggy's tail) just sticks out, up, or anything in between! It is especially annyoing when I pull back my hurr in a clip or bobby pin and that stinkin' curl sticks up and with everything from water to hairspray, to gel, nothing tames it!
Well, I've just adjusted (whined constantly about) to this curl for all these years, just dealing with the fact that I'll have to get over it, until today! Today, I walked. Today, the humidity was high. TODAY, I had WAVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not just the one curl, but waves.....sides and back where the glisten was presence (remember, girls glisten, they DON'T sweat). I am bummed. I am just looking into that big crystal ball and I can see the future....I can see CURLY hair in it! I am not excited! Humph!

Big Fish
My little minnow has graduated into a big fish! The pool is open and we've already been in the water more than we've been out of it....well, he's been in it - I just sat in my chair and watched him! He knew not to even ask.....such a smart boy that one. I think I'll keep him!
Yesterday due to chilly water temps, I took the lazy way out and let him wear the arm floaties. He didn't seem to care and probably lasted longer becuase of the "help". Today we went to a friends house and the pool was heated, so I got in and made him really swim. We only lasted about an hour and a half! He was working so hard, he wore himself out! He's so good though and with no lessons, I'm so proud of him! He's just a natural water baby! A few more weeks of this, and he'll be on his own I'm sure!
Tonight, my brother, his girlfriend, my parents, and me are taking him to see his first movie! We are going to Monsters vs. Aliens 3D! I just hope we make it through the entire thing! I guess I'll have to sneak some good snacks in there for him so he'll be content.....I'm sure we'll have to try out the popcorn too!!! YUMMY!
