The week in review and the week ahead

My mom's administrative transfer was rescinded late this morning, but we know that it just means the administration will make her life hell over the next year to try to get rid of her. She's just covering her bases and lawyering up with a lawyer my uncle recommended.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was supposed to meet the teacher I needed to interview for my masters thesis tonight, but Linda and her had to cancel, so it was just Mr. H, my mom, and I at dinner. I won't be able to meet next week and so it looks like it will be 2 weeks from now on Thursday at least before I can finish my masters. FML. Ok... I'll get over it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I haven't really slept this week. I think I slept 4-5 hours Monday night, not much Tuesday night, and same for Wednesday. Nerves. Took an anxiety pill last night to hopefully help.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The new roof is on the house and looking great. Of course my mom realizes we need a new garage door and to paint the house. Good. The trim was also replaced on the house and our house went from looking like mid-50s to late 80s-90s with just changing the trim.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haven't seen Mike this week. He got home late last night and I had planned to meet the teachers for dinner like I mentioned above. He wants to go to Palm Springs this weekend.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Easter with the relatives. Of course Mike is invited, but I don't think he'll do it since he doesn't like big groups and there will be 30+ at the gathering.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My sister's dog dug out of the yard where she was locked away with her sister while the roofers were here a total of 5 times on Tuesday. I was home because I didn't get called to sub. Ran and scolded her each time. Finally put her on the chain. My dad told my mom Tuesday night he was going to pay me to stay home Wednesday and Thursday to dog sit. I didn't mind. I could get used to staying home to dog sit. Sub pay and no taxes- why not?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While at home this week I've been busy because we know I can't sit still for 5 minutes. I cleaned out the garage shelves, boxed up old paint to be taken to be disposed of, weed wacked, and washed my car.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Got caught up on daytime TV too. Watched The Talk, Barefoot Contessa, Rachael Ray, and realized The Price is Right is unwatchable.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Baked red velvet cupcakes for school Monday night. I had to outdo everyone. Lots of talk on facebook about that and getting picked on in class. LOL. I got the girl back that was picking on me good.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So sick of this commercial after seeing it all over daytime TV


Eeeew... and she has a name... this video popped up after I found the Tostitos commercial. This girl is hella annoying.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wondered why all these 80s songs are suddenly being infiltrated into commercials?
You have Kim Wilde's "Kids in America" in the above commercial, "Keep on Loving You" from REO Speedwagon in that Swiffer commercial, and Heart's song "Alone" in another. Leave the 80s songs alone.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lady Antebellum's song "Need You Now" has been recognized as the most downloaded country song of all time. Woo! I can't tell you how many times I find myself singing "it's a quarter after one I'm a little drunk and I need you now..."

Mike: What's making you anxious that you can't sleep? School situation? Upcoming graduation?

Did I miss something or does your family know you're going out with Mike? Or do they only know him as a good friend of yours?

If you tell me what pill it is, I can probably tell you how it works. ;-)
