Hey, we have an ita!

Good lord, msbelle, your co-workers.

I'm finding this all a remarkably satisfying end to that story, I have to say.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

ita ita ita

that is all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG msbelle's coworkers. I mean, I'm sorry for anyone who has serious medical problems, but THAT GUY.

Hey ita. Wish you had better stories....

I have too much work to do AND too many meetings AND I don't wanna.

hey ita, it's nice to see you here. You've been missed.

Hey, I missed happy birthday to the twins?

Yep. 7 which is crazy.

Also, sorry for the insane-o doctor issues.

So I have this work thing I'm doing that I don't want to talk about yet, but I totally want to talk about nothing else. But I feel like if I talk about it I will (1) jinx it (2) sound like a narcisstic asshole with an inflated sense of self-worth (3) do nothing BUT talk about it as opposed to doing the work.

Does anyone else get this way?

Also, msbelle's ascend already comment made me laugh.

Also, I keep flirting with not finishing the grading I have, even though my students NEED the papers back to do their assessment. I have to finish 2nd period's papers still and that class starts in 20 minutes. So what am I doing instead? Procrastinating, of course.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

After hearing about all the lice issues and the ending of lice checks, etc, I just remembered that when I was in first or second grade I thought they were checking my head for head LIGHTS!

I finished them with 11 minutes to spare! Now I have until 12:30 to finish the other 60 minutes.

HA! I beat the clock.

FTR, I recognize this is not an effective time management issue.

I get like the wanting to talk about stuff ALL THE TIME. It reminds me of being in highschool and crushing on boys, except it is never boys anymore.
