Wishful Wednesday: Chore

I wish I never had to do laundry again!

So for some laundry isn't really that bad. I mean you put it in, let it go, then put it into the dryer. It's not rocket science. I have no idea why I hate doing it so much. I always put it off as long as possible, which is basically until K tells me he has no more clean boxers.

I like folding (or at least I did until I got a puppy who likes to attack the clothes as I fold them) but the actual putting clothes in into the machine and taking it out annoys me. K offers to do it but I am very picky about what gets hung dry and what goes in the dryer and I don't trust him with the responsibility.

What I would give for a laundry fairy...sigh.

shout out

One of my first bloggy friends, Jessica, formerly of Jey Rey in SA, sadly decided to stop blogging a few months ago and I have really missed her!

Fortunately...she recently got engaged and decided to start and wedding planning blog! Yay! She is such a sweetie and who doesn't love reading about weddings?

Check it out!

grrrr...

Not only have I been waaay too busy at work during the day to blog, about half the blogs I normally visit will not load on my work computer. My blog included. No idea why. Normal websites work fine and they all load on my home computer.


It's super annoying.


(sorry for being so whiny lately but work is killing me...I mean come on...I am not supposed to actually have to do work while here. I promise this will be my last busy at work/no time to blog post!)

slacker

OK, I know I totally have been slacking on blogging lately. Last week was pretty crazy at work then I wasn't feeling well on Friday so I ended up going home early and sleeping most of the afternoon. So here are some highlights about what I have been up to:

• This evening I am going to an Open House/Info Session at one of the colleges I am applying to. If you go they will waive the application fee plus hopefully it will clarify some questions I have about how everything works. It's so different applying to grad school vrs. applying to college. I feel like now I am somewhat flying by the seat of my pants and in high school there was so much information and guides to the college application process. Hopefully I don't forget anything!
• What do you think of my mini-makeover? I figured it was time to move on from Halloween!
  
• K and I went to see "Paranormal Activity" last night, it definitely freaked me out but it wasn't as scary as I was expecting. Plus there was almost a brawl between some middle school kids and this trashy girl in the row behind us and in front of us there was a lady with a two/three year old little girl, (who brings a little kid to see "Paranormal Activity?") so that distracted me bit from the scary stuff.
• After 2 years of searching I finally found some brown boots that I love. They only arrived on Friday and I have already worn them twice! They are Steve Madden "Mantel" and very comfortable!
  

• We are planning on buying a new TV on Black Friday this year instead of getting each other big Christmas presents...does anyone have recommendations on brands or types? We don't want something super expensive but nothing cheap and crappy either.
  

I had every intention of doing Wishful Wednesday today but I am having an insanely hectic day, sorry! I promise to do it next week!

attack of the stage mom

The last day of my Broadway Babies class was on Halloween morning which meant we had "rehearsal" for half the class then our "show" for the second half.

The kiddos arrived in their Halloween costumes, are were all looking very cute and surprisingly behaved during the rehearsal. I was optimistic that the show would go off with out a hitch.

When the rehearsal was over my co-director and our counselor took the kids for a brief potty break/drink from the water fountain while I got the theater ready and started bringing in the parents.

Now this is when the issue happened. Little Billy* is one of the cutest kids in the class. He is well behaved, knows all the songs and dances and is straight up adorable. I guess his mom has something against water fountains (little does she know he has been drinking out of it every week) because when she saw him out there she freaked out. He started crying and whining about drinking out of the water fountain and had to be coaxed on stage for the show.

These kids are mostly 3 so they really can't handle much in terms of preforming, but Little Billy had always done so well. Until the show. He was still upset about the water fountain so he basically just stood there. At one point our counselor asked him why he wasn't singing and he said "my parents don't want me to." Meanwhile in the audience his mom was making this big deal about mouthing the words and doing the motions herself.

After the show the kids and their families were milling around so I went up to them all to say bye, good job etc... Instead of telling him good job, Little Billy's parents and grandparents were asking him why he didn't sing and giving him shit about it. When I told him good job they all made sarcastic comments.

Hello people...he is 3...and probably would have done great if Stage Mom didn't freak out 5 minutes before the show started. To be honest, it put a bit of a damper on the whole show experience for me. Poor little guy.


And if her treatment of her son wasn't bad enough...as she was leaving Stage Mom said "Well he really liked the bat song the best," in this really bitchy tone. That was a song on the CD that we listened to but didn't preform. Like the reason he didn't sing was because we didn't do that song! Get real, lady.





*Obviously name has been changed.

Halloween

How do you like my costume?
