"My purpose is to entertain myself first and other people secondly." - John McDonald
As I hate trying to come up with subject lines, I'm making all my subjects from now on quotes that touch vaguely on what I'm posting about. The quote for this post has absolutely nothing to do with that I'm posting about, but I liked it, so there.
What I am talking about:
1. My kids are going off to college in four months. This both pleases me and makes me want to cry. It also freaks me out if I think about it too much because I'm seriously not old enough to have kids going to college. I really am glad they're going, though, but Brandon leaves first and I predict I will bawl like a baby when that happens. Taylor will be on the phone to me two minutes after I leave campus so less chance for tears there. But leaving Brandon will break my heart. The fact that he'll only be an hour away will do nothing to diminish the tears.
2. I have fifty graduation announcements sitting on my desk. Coming up with 50 people to mail announcements to is hard, which is why my mother is making me send them to anyone my kids have ever spent more than two hours with.
3. We only get 20 tickets to graduation. Out of the 50 people getting announcements, there are only 20 I'd want to sit next to for how ever many hours graduation will take. Unfortunately, ten of those live out of state and aren't coming to the actual ceremony. Which means I'm going to be surrounded by at least 10 people who will annoy me. My mother being one of them.
4. I love my mother. She's just driving me batshit insane.
5. Lex, if you read this, email me your new address. If my super nosy neighbor can get one (which I vetoed and then was overruled) then I can send one to you, too. I, at least, like you. The same cannot be said for Janice, who cannot mind her own damn business.
6. Prom is this weekend. This serves as a reminder that a) high school is coming closer to the end, and b) senior year is going to break me financially.
7. I'm off work today and I haven't been to sleep yet (I've been up for twenty hours and counting) but I'm so glad I'm a 3rd shift nurse and not a 1st shift nurse because, if I was, I'm not sure I'd have a job anymore. I really need to find a job where I can close a door and be by myself for three hours a day and thus curb my homicidal tendencies. Murder is frowned upon on any job.
8. And last but not least...well, seven was it really. I'm done now.
