Just call me the Wicked Witch because 'I'm melting, melting, melt.......' Good grief 95 degrees in our lil' ol' town! And of course our Middle School does not have air conditioning on the 2nd floor. *sigh* By the end of the day, I was stupid... the heat had turned my brain to mush... and the students too. Although, the last class of the day wasn't too bad... I think they were all rung out from the heat too. Then, by the end of the week it's not supposed to get past 70! Go figure!
Just trying to stay cool. Hope you have some relief too. T-storms are predicted tonight - hopefully they'll cool it off some.
Off to see if I can find the Wizard of Oz DVD or some other fantasy thing to watch... (seriously - we're studying fantasy, fables & fairy tales at school & that's what the kids wanted to watch... lol)
Bye! Love you! Have a good day, Dear!

Don't you have a 'Jam Room'?
Just spent the better part of the morning & afternoon cleaning up the 'Jam Room'.... What's a 'Jam Room' you ask? Why, I'll tell you what a 'Jam Room' is, thanks for asking! You probably have one - or at least a closet, cupboard or drawer that you do the same thing to. It's a room you jam everything into! Over the winter we'd been shoving things in there - wherever they'd fit and it had gotten really out of control.
About a week ago I finally got to the very bottom of the laundry. You know, the stuff that you shove off to the side to get the more important - stuff you need daily - done. And I started washing winter coats & snow pants, etc. to either store for next year or get rid of. Well, there is an old metal wardrobe in the 'Jam Room' where we store outside winter clothing, but because of all the crap in front it I couldn't put the clean coats away. Hence, the hoeing out today.
When I got into the wardrobe, I found MORE coats that haven't been worn for at least a year. So I dumped those out on the floor, & put the clean coats in. I have some super-cheap clear garbage bags that put over the top of them. So my family knows that if it has a garbage bag on it that it's been laundered. All but 3 items in the pile of 3 vests, 3 jackets, 4 coats & 1 raincoat were King Turd's. The Princess kept her coat (for when her adopted sisters come in the winter) and I got rid of 1 jacket & my raincoat. I consulted the King (as I won't get rid of hiscrap stuff unless he says ok - this purging/decluttering journey is mine) and he was able to part with 2 of the jackets and 1 vest. The rest went back into the wardrobe..... not as much as I had hoped, but at least it's a start.
Enough dawdling, time to get back to work.... maybe I can get a few more things accomplished today!

Drivel & Twaddle
Why on earth do I do that? That post I wrote yesterday..... pah!!! Drivel & Twaddle!!! I went back later & read it..... can you say B O R I N G!! Who wants to read that crap? Which brings me to my next question... am I THAT boring? Do I drone on & on about nothing? Am I just plain Vanilla in a Chocolate-Brownie-Fudge-Ripple world? I hope not.
I find my life rather fun - not necessarily exciting all the time. Crazy & fun is our typical family life. At least it is to me. I'll try not to do that again. Shorter, sweeter, funnier, crazier posts are ahead .... maybe.....
I should have told you about getting cornered in Walmart by this odd gentleman yesterday. I was sitting in the Subway, eating my lunch (we have a Subway in our Walmart). This older gentleman & his wife were just finishing up & getting ready to ride their scooters off. So, being me, when he looked up I politely said 'Hello' and went back to my sandwich. What's he do? He toddles over to me & SITS down IN my booth (with his wife's purse - because she had to use the bathroom & it would take her awhile = 700 gazillion scuffles to move 2 feet). So she hollers as she's leavin' 'Don't go anywhere!' Like that could happen...
He says he wants to tell me 'his story'.... truly, I wasn't trying to be rude & NOT listen (I mean, the dude is sitting right across from my lunch - he even pushed part of it out of the way!!!), it's just that I couldn't even figure out what 'his story' was about!! Then he says 'Ya got a pen? Let me give you my phone number!' Really? Really? WTH!!! So, being brought up to respect my elders (curse you Mom & Dad!), I hand him a pen & a piece of paper. He writes on that & then also gives me a coffee discount card -from someplace I've never heard of-that he's decided to put his website down on. So now I have two things that he's telling me I have to look up. Finally, after ages go by his wife scuffles back. He hops up & toddles back to his scooter. I hear her holler 'Are ya comin?!!'... and see her whiz off at the speed of snail on HER scooter. He jumps on his to follow & rams it into the corner not once but twice!! Waving as he too speeds off!
The crazy part about all this.... He had his car keys on a lanyard around his neck. Did I mention that he had a pair of glasses that had only one lens in them? And that lens was so dark I couldn't even see his eyeball! Did I also fail to mention that he had a medical/hospital bracelet on his wrist? Yeah.... and he's DRIVING!!!! He smashed the scooter into the same corner of the wall twice!!!! Just getting out of Subway!! King Turd says that all retired people should be required to retake their road test every 4 years. That would eliminate 'knuckle drivers' (you know, knuckle drivers, those little old people that have shrunk so much you only see their knuckles on the steering wheel & they drive looking through that & the dash!)
Ok.... so THAT was the 'crazy' in my day yesterday... weird.... Another day in the life....
Bye! Love you! Have a good day, Dear!
PS. I looked up that website - it's a person who changes photos to videos - something like you would watch at a wedding or funeral or graduation .... Oh, he also gave me his military rank.... Just in case... (in case of what?)
