"SICK"

I woke up this morning feeling awful. My tummy was totally upset and I will spare you the details. Though I never call in sick to work, I decided this was as good a time as any. It's funny though cuz as I lay here in bed at noon, I realize I feel totally fine. Sometimes I wonder if it's totally psychosomatic. Maybe it was a mental health day I needed. I have had the roughest month with four heavy duty IEPs. Yesterday was a nightmare. The school secretaries and I were sure there was a full moon, although I never verified that theory.
Even though I was totally sick when I called in this morning, I kind of feel like I am playing hooky. It actually feels really nice. I have gotten some paperwork done, while lying in bed and watching a movie. I am beginning to think I might deserve a mental health day once a month. Is that excessive? I have over a months worth of sick time, maybe I'll start using some of it.

Kobe Snacks!

I am officially changing my name to Kobe Snacks. The sisters will realize this means my Satan cat is trying to eat me as a snack. That's right. There are teeth marks in my thigh. Kobe is usually a rambunctious and slightly vicious kitten. Since Rob was gone last weekend though, he has been seriously angry. I think he might really be trying to take a chunk of flesh.

It's totally weird because all weekend he was totally a snuggle kitten. Now that Rob is home, he is a monster baby. Of course he is not actually attacking Rob in the same way. How is that fair? Why am I being punished for Rob's going out of town?

Pride and Prejudice

Most of you know of my Jane Austin/period piece obsession. Seeing as how I have been abandoned for the weekend, I am devoting today to Pride and Prejudice. Right now I am watching the A&E version with Collin Ferth. Next I will watch the Kyra Knightly version. I have also been rereading the book. I have yet to find a copy of the version made in the 1930s on DVD even though I know it exists.
There is just something amazing about this story. I love the whole Darcy Elizabeth courtship. I don't know if it is the way she dislikes him so much and then realizes she has been lying to herself or how they manage to marry for love despite the world they live in. Either way I love this story and intend to overindulge myself on it all day.
