That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Mornings are a cruel, cruel trick that the universe keeps springing on me.

yes! The biggest drawback about teaching for me is the hours. I honestly don't know how I'm going to handle having to be at work at 7:30am.

That's the middle of the night!

... okay, it's not. It's an hour before the alarm goes off. Close enough.

"I hope you don't think I'm going to do any babysitting"

My mother said the same thing to me when my first was born. Fortunately for me, I knew my mother and that while she meant what she said, it didn't mean she didn't want to have anything to do with them. Just, she wouldn't babysit, end of subject. In fact, my daughter talks constantly of how my mother was her favorite grandparent. Of course, she's been wise enough not to say this in front of my father, who is still alive. She even bought a really cute flower pot that has a spring loaded frog in the middle of it, because my mother liked frogs.

ION, I just finished my yoga class and I'm so boneless I don't want to drive home. Can someone chauffeur me?

And, me fourth or fifth or whatever with wanting to stay awake in the wee hours and sleep late. I loved the job I had on campus at EMU: I could work 12-10pm, stay up to 3am and not get up for classes until noon the next day. Only having to work 20 hours a week helped a lot, too.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I was just the other day remembering that I used to get up in time to go to a Tai Chi class for an hour, shower, change, and be at school teaching by 7:30 am. And half the time, I'd be working at my other job til midnight. It is beyond my comprehension how I managed that.

One of hte reasons I don't know that I could ever be a teacher is the early mornings...count me in as one who'd love a 3AM-11AM sleep schedule.

YAY VW passing her class. HAHAHAH on Fay's grandmother. And OMGADORABLEWTFBBQ to those twins--both the beach bums picture, and the "I'm surrounded by giant babies!" picture, which I LOOOOVED.
