Wow... tone deaf singers on the American Idol auditions. Ouch!
During my technology session with my 5th graders today, we were discussing the school district's Acceptable Use Policy for our computers and Internet connection, and how it's basically a priviledge to use the computers/Internet as opposed to it being a right. Suddenly, one of the boys raises his hand and asks if the phone call that you're supposed to get when you go to jail is a priviledge or a right. I started answering that I wasn't sure, but I thought they might be able to deny you that phone call, so I guess it would be a priviledge. Next thing I know, a girl in the class raises her hand and says, It's a priviledge. I then asked her how she knew that. Her answer? My dad was in jail. Wha? Oh wow. Um, ooookay... The best I could say was Oh, OK... well, I guess that happens. WTF was I supposed to say??? She offered up the info. I just had to return her serve. Ouch!
Around 3:30 today, I noticed a spot on my outer left thigh that was really hurting. I went to the restroom to check it out and found a large bruise about the size of a half dollar that was hurting like hell. Now, I have NO EFFING CLUE how the hell I got it! I don't remember bumping into something that hard in that spot within the past day or so. WTF??? It's only getting more colorful as the evening wears on... Ouch!
Finally, I am truly distraught over the loss of my earmuffs. I somehow managed to lose them along my course yesterday. My ears are cccccooollllllddddd without them! My dad came through with a back-up pair of behind-the-head earmuffs (like the ones I lost) that I can use until the pair I ordered online shows up here sometime next week. Don't forget -- I have short hair and my ears are exposed -- that's double trouble in Ohio in January! Ouch!
Well, that's about all I can handle today...
