Confused

I woke up at 2:30 last night because Boo kept shaking and shaking (his body not because he was cold or scared) which, in turn, rattled his collar. I could tell he was standing by my side of the bed and so I thought he was trying to get under the covers of the pillow that lays right there. This kept up for several minutes so I decided to get up to try and help him out. Turns out that he wasn't trying to get under the covers. Nope, he was trying to convince his brother to move. See, Scout was already snug as a bug in a rug on that pillow but Boo wanted it. (It's everyone's favorite.) I tried to convince Boo to snuggle into the other pillow that sits to the right of the TV but he wasn't having it. I then asked Scout if he'd do his brother a solid but he wasn't budging. In the end I said, "You're on your own...figure it out," and I went to bed. Not sure how it fared. 

After all that, I was laying in bed working to get back to sleep and I was thinking, Ugh...I only have two hours to sleep. However, I can do this...it's Wednesday so we're half way there. And then I got up (with the alarm...obviously I fell back to sleep) and I was going through my routine and realized, FUCK!!! It's not Wednesday! It's only Tuesday! But...I can still do this. When I'm staring exam week in the face it's doable. 

Jim didn't get home until late last night (after 6:00 because he saw his therapist) and so was able to get his presents wrapped. I don't think he's noticed yet. I still need to get him a couple more things but I'll work on that over the next week or so. 

Work is fine. Thank the baby Jesus today is movie day in history. Normally it would be Friday but since I was out Friday for history class, the kids didn't get to watch a video and since we finished our chapter yesterday, I thought I'd give them a little reward before we delve into the study guide for the exam. We're going to watch the new Christmas movie on Netflix, That Christmas. It's a British animated movie from the creators of Love, Actually. I mean how can it be bad, right? 

Jim's already up and at 'em and about to leave. I asked him why he had to leave so early and as he told me, I remembered that I really didn't care so I stopped listening. Hee hee. 

Dinner tonight will be a pork tenderloin with some rice and broccoli. 

I think it's "Plaid" day at school (it's Christmas dress up week) so I'm wearing the red plaid tunic I have that I only really wear during the holiday season. 

Oh, yeah. Bad news. My wonky tooth that periodically gives me fits is acting up again. This is the tooth that I had a root canal on several years ago. The time before last at my dental appointment, I had the partner of my regular dentist look at it (my regular dentist wasn't working that day) and he adjusted my bite which worked...for a while. He stated then that it could just be the bite but if it happened again, it was most likely something else that we didn't want to talk about because it's going to be an expensive fix. (Implant) Looks like that might be the issue. I'm going to call the office today and see if they can fit me in to take a looksee. It isn't painful, so-to-speak, rather annoying and uncomfortable. Makes eating on that side weird. Ugh. 

Okay - time to get a move on. Gotta get the boys out again and since they're cozy under covers in bed, that's going to take some doing. Later!
