What if we ALL signed our posts like SpyCar?

[ThatCyndiGirl]

Oh, what a world it would be! I have been planning next year's lessons/curriculum/calendar/craziness and am feeling COMPLETELY overwhelmed. I am going from teaching one to teaching THREE in one fell swoop. (My son learned to read last year, but it was very casual, just us sitting around on the couch reading, nothing planned out. He learned a lot of spelling and math, but it was mostly just us answering his questions, not planned lessons.)

 

I started thinking about the ways I would sign off right now:

 

~Cyndi, who could REALLY use some peace and quiet right now!

 

~Cyndi, whose brother won't stop texting her for pork chop recipes

 

~Cyndi, whose husband's MIL is driving her crazy.

 

~Cyndi, whose laundry is staring at her from the basket, just waiting to be folded.

 

~Cyndi, who is now hitting the 'submit' button. :tongue_smilie:

[happygrrl]

Great idea!

 

~ Lisa, who is in her PJ's drinking the world's best coffee instead of teaching a grammar lesson.

[Dawn in OH]

I do on occasion do that.

 

 

~Dawn, who is not getting anything done today!

[Mommyfaithe]

~~Faithe: who is listening to Tom Swift and the Visitor from Planet X on Librivox with my sick 6 year old and pondering why the heck I thought we could actually finish all I planned for school this year and how to plan next year.

[ThatCyndiGirl]

I love this place!

 

~Cyndi, who really loves this place and is now off to wrestle with the petulant laundry.

[Crissy]

That could be fun.

 

~Crissy, who is exhausted, but is sending this enormous, weeks-long design/print project out the door in exactly one half an hour.

[stormy weather]

:D

Lisaloo-who wonders if she could use dried organic eggs to make mayo.

Lisaloo-who really should be in another state working on her forever home.

Lisaloo-who ought to get off her ample bohonkus and do some house work, but keeps putting it off for fear of aggravating her broken rib.

Lisaloo- who wonders why at a certain age her feet dried up and her face got oily.

I could go on and on.

Lisaloo- who thinks Cyndi is onto something and we should all imitate SpyCar, and hope he would look on it as flattery.

[LauraGB]

~ Laura, whose family just left the house and now it's too quiet for me to think about what I should be doing.

So, I'm sitting here not getting anything done...

[dragons in the flower bed]

I hear you. I was there last week. Keep going!

OHMYNOODness! I just remembered that I have bread dough (actually Unsloppy Joe roll dough) in the fridge from Tuesday!!!! :001_huh:

 

~Cyndi who is grateful to Rosie and now wondering if this needs it's very own "would you eat this?" thread. :lol:

~Sarah, who really just wants to watch glee.

[Sophia]

~Sophia, who laughed while she read all these, but is still pondering if

"~Cyndi, whose husband's MIL is driving her crazy." is really being driven crazy by her own mom (isn't that her dh's mil?) and the only reason to ponder this is because it beats going to the gym ;)

Yup, it's my mom. She lives with us and it's easier for me to distance myself a bit by calling her HIS MIL. I sent dh a text one day that read,"I HAVE to get out of here tomorrow! Anywhere, somewhere, don't care, just not here!" He replied,"Is it my MIL or the kids?" :tongue_smilie:

 

~Cyndi, deep deep deep in denial, who doesn't want you to disturb her here because the water is just fine, thankyouverymuch! ;)

ETA: Okay, got it - your mother. I didn't read far enough because the statement really threw me.:lol:

blasted parentheses.

[secular_mom]

It does share a bit more of ourselves than simply replying and staying on topic.

 

Gin (who is pondering the aquatic ape theory while resting from disassembling furniture while contemplating yet another cross country move and tinkering with the idea of doing a seahorse/undersea crewel project and also thinking she is bugging others with this run-on 'sentence' which lacks punctuation and realizes she is thinking about TOO MANY THINGS)

I don't know about wanting to emulate anyone but this is a great idea. I would have more fun thinking of how to give an honest picture of what's going on at the moment than the post I'm probably making. :)

 

I could be:

 

Jessica, who's really needs to go do some yard work, but it's so very, very hot out there today!

 

Jessica, who's a nervous wreck over her first time high school planning. My favorite phrase today is "What if...?"

 

Jessica, who secretly is loving every moment of my house being quiet because 2 out of the 3 boys we have are out of the house!

 

Jessica, who wishes Susan Bauer would come make her high school curriculum decisions for her.

 

Officially though:

 

Jessica, I really want a nap!
