I’m going to be completely honest, Kindergarten is crushing my buzz.
All summer long Caroline and I would lay in bed until 8 a.m. which is an hour I only dreamed of for the first four years of her life. I had finally trained her in the art of a leisurely morning only to see it destroyed by the educational system.
So, my point is that I am tired. P has been waking us up awfully early but I think I’ve already figured out that we can sleep at least fifteen minutes later every morning. And those extra fifteen minutes will add up to an extra hour and fifteen minutes at the end of each week.
I just did that math in my head.
Who says you’ll never amount to anything if it took you two times to pass Algebra II?
Anyway, I am totally going with a list format because I have several points I would like to make and no energy to voice them in a narrative form.
1. Back-combing is just a fancy way of saying TEASING. If you were alive in the 80’s and older than six, then you’ve teased your hair.
If you’re from Texas there is a good chance that you received a sterling silver teasing comb at birth.
The one I bought is a fine-tooth comb that comes complete with a pick on the other end. It’s exactly like the comb I used in 1987-1989 to separate each curl of my spiral perm after I doused it in Aussie Sprunch Spray.
2. Hot rollers are intended for use on dry hair only. You will immediately regret any attempt to use them on wet hair. To get an idea, imagine your hair after eighteen days in a tropical rain forest.
Now multiply that by 150.
It’s also important to note that some people will mock you for toting around hot rollers in 2008, but those people are called people with flat hair.
3. I volunteered in the cafeteria at Caroline’s school today and let me assure you that nothing will make you lose your appetite like watching some kids use their straw to slurp up leftover juice from their pinto beans.
Disgusting doesn’t begin to cover it.
But it served as a great diet tool for the rest of the day.
4. One kid actually brought sushi in her lunchbox. Girlfriend sat there and rolled her own sushi in some seaweed wraps.
I just pray Caroline wants to buy her lunch for the rest of the year. I can’t take the pressure
5. Our dryer is broken. I’m supposed to sit at home between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. for the Sears repairman to grace me with an appearance.
It would be a great time to catch up on laundry, except for the fact that my dryer is broken.
Truth be told, the dryer is eleven years old. I don’t have high hopes for a comeback. Do y’all have any dryer recommendations? Is one dryer really better than another? Should I just hang a clothesline across the backyard and go old school? (the neighbors would be so pleased)
Any dryer wisdom would be appreciated.
Y’all have a great day and I’ll try to be back with a coherent thought tomorrow.
