Pillow Partner

Scout decided to get on my pillows last night to sleep. I think it started out as him trying to get to my nightstand to steal my ponytail holders but when I said, "UH UH!" he stopped and acted like he was just making his bed. He ended up there all night and at one point started yipping in his sleep. When my alarm went off and I turned over to turn it off, he ever so gently licked my nose. Good morning sweet boy!

I had a funny dream last night. I dreamt that Jimmy put together a surprise trip for me. We were in PIB and he surprised me with tickets to Shanghai and then Ireland. We would spend 5 days in Shanghai and then fly to Ireland for a week. What a combo, huh? The issue was I needed to call Diane to see if she could stay longer with the dogs but for some reason, I added 19 days to her house/dog sitting stint rather than 12 and she said, "Yeah, no, that's too long!" So then I had to scramble and find someone else to watch the pups. It was very stressful!

I'm giving a test today in science on photosynthesis and I know my kids are all going to fail. We've been going over and over the info and reviewing and I sent them all a Quizlet to use for studying (sent to their parents as well) but if I know my kids and parents, they didn't study. We'll see. And as much as I hate teaching Biology, it's actually making a lot more sense since I've been teaching it. That's good, huh? That I can actually say I'm not totally confused by what I'm trying to teach the kids? Progress! For me at least.

I'm making a dinner tonight that I'm excited about: Broccoli stir fry with chickpeas. I loves me some chickpeas and could eat them with every meal. I don't know why. They don't have much taste. Maybe it's their texture.

Jim called last night while at work because the job he was doing that he thought would only take a few hours was bigger than he thought. He was estimating he'd be home around 2:00 AM...poor guy. But guess what? As usual Jim estimated incorrectly and he was home by midnight.

I caught myself talking in my sleep last night. Here's what I said, "I've got a tomato for you and you" sung (or chanted) in the tune from Willy Wonka "Oompa Loompa". I don't know what I was dreaming (it wasn't the China/Ireland dream) but I was recording something for the cops. I'll say it: I'm weird. Or rather my dreams are weird.

Oh, guess what?! The downs syndrome girl I mentioned in yesterday's post? She shit her pants AGAIN yesterday! OMG! WTF!? Poor Jen (the aide).

Okay...on that note...time to finish getting ready. Happy Wednesday...half way there. Later!
