This morning I was anticipating a busy day, not on-going chaos from the moment I left my house. So let me just give the "readers-digest" version now because I'm exhausted and need to get up and teach in the morning.
I had to pick up the police report this morning for my "stolen" wallet on the way to class. Then in class, Quantum is finally starting to make sense, shock of all shocks. After class I had to jet to work for the Fall Festival we were having for the kids. When I say jet, I mean wait impatiently for the campus bus service to pick me and drive me the mile across campus so I don't have to move my car and lose my parking spot and so I can get there in a reasonable amount of time. I arrive at work to total chaos. All 80 kids, most of them with their parents but some running wild, were on the playground going through all of the stations (the train ride, dress up tent, snack table, dinosaur dig, bubble table, bean bag throw, etc...). I have to hunt to find my head teacher and she automatically hands me a couple of kids to take around the festival because their parents didn't show up. These are the cutest kids you have ever seen so its really hard to be mad when they run from you because they see something new and exciting that they want to experience, the only bad part of this scenario being that they were often running in opposite directions. So I spent most of the morning running after one while I had the other on my hip. I'm going to be super-mom some day with all of the training I'm getting now. After the festival, we get all the kids back to their appropriate classrooms, only to find that my favorite blonde hair, blue eyed two year old, Emma, has misplaced one of her shoes. I have no idea how this could have happened or where it could be, considering she was with me most of the morning and always had both shoes. So guess you had to dig through garbage cans and cubbies and ransack the playground and everywhere I could think that a kid could hide a shoe. I have yet to find the damn shoe, but there is always Monday. Now, its the middle of the day and I have to race back to the physics building (thankfully one of the grandmas of the kids gave me a ride) where I spend two hours being boggled with the physics gre practice tests (there is a skipped class in there somewhere). Next, a research meeting where I got nothing related to the research accomplished but I now have a reasonable way to finish the thesis that won't end. That meeting ran long so I had to skip my late class and run home to check the mail, I was expecting a package from amy and it arrived today. She sent our "all about us" journal back, a gift card to applebees, and "the sound of music" on dvd. all very exciting. work was next. the kids were in a crappy mood because they were overtired. i honestly don't understand what is so fun about throwing mulch on your friends but they can't seem to get enough of it. oh and I had to explain to emma's mother about the missing shoe. then off to babysitting the spoiled carson until 1.
so wish me luck, I'm hoping to finish my thesis this weekend and a big computational homework assignment and pack (since i'm moving in two weeks).
