Odds and Ends

Tonight I walked in the door from work, and the First Grader walked up to me, never spoke and stuck a sticky note on my shoulder that read, "Pandcake Sat. 24, 2012".  Guess what's for breakfast this weekend?  Subtle hints go a long way with me. 

We went on a scout field trip tonight to make little wooden, hammer-it-yourself crafts.  Lots of tongue-biting (a bizarre family trait shared by me, my dad and my brother which mildly stresses my hubby)and left-handed hammering from the First Grader.  The Sixth Grader also made two of them and said they'd be good to go home and burn.  He's not a pyromaniac, I promise.  He's weird but not a pyromaniac. 

I completely and totally came unglued at work today.  It is not uncommon for me to get somewhat annoyed on a somewhat regular basis, however so furious that my ears turn red- well, not such a regular occurrence.  I left a shaky-voiced message on a ladies machine.  Not my finest moment but one I still feel was necessary... unless I lose my job tomorrow.  Then I might rethink that.   I knew I scared the lady because she called back and offered to send me some Starbucks.  Not too bad for a girl who doesn't lose it very often. I must throw an impressive fit.  I may look into doing that a little more often.  I like the little danish things from that place.

So there are your odds and ends.  You are welcome.
