I'll Eventually be Back
Look, it's another great pic my ex-hubby took!! This is a strange place for it, right? Yeah, it's not supposed to be here. It's supposed to be at the bottom with a cute little pithy line that says, "Enjoy another great picture taken by my ex while you anxiously await my return." But, Blogger hates me and won't let me move this picture, so now it's here, which means this particular post begins at the end. Funny, huh? 
- I am subbing these days and teachers have to be at work really early and it's usually really late when I finish my household chores. Tomorrow, I'm off to Chemistry class. They're taking a test. This is good news for everyone because me, a beaker and a Bunsen burner is just the combination that will cause some kid to spend the rest of the school year without any eyebrows. Much like when I subbed for Ag class, but it was Ag technology and the cute little boogers wanted to know if they could work on their welding projects. I asked if they enjoyed having eyelashes. They said yes. I said I did, too, which is obvious by the gobs of mascara, applied to them, so maybe we wait until the teacher returns. They did not like this answer, but I did not care because I don't want to have to wear fake eyelashes.
- I just moved. Again. I have to figure out a delicate way to discuss this so as not to upset anyone. I can't figure that out right now because my entire life is in boxes and I can't find my silverware which is starting to get annoying. Finding a spoon with which to eat my Captain Crunch, which just got rated like the worst kids cereal ever put on the planet earth in the history of kids cereals, is kind of a priority right now.
- Grace has a crapload of homework that is requiring her to use the computer because I had to keep her out of school due to sickness and then because she had a home but there was no furniture in it because we got moved by what was the equivalent of Chip N' Dale. I called Rosa (Childhood Hispanic Friend) and asked her if she could please instruct me how to say, "You are the dumbest mother f-er's I've ever seen in my entire life. Is today your first day to ever work as a mover because, judging from your total inability to efficiently put my furniture in the back of your big ass truck or to drive over 15 miles an hour ON THE INTERSTATE, it would appear that you've never done this before." She said that was kind of a lot so maybe that wasn't such a good idea and Grace said I'd probably jack it up so bad I'd say "the cheese comes out of my bellybutton" or something like that. She thought that was very funny. She wasn't laughing when I made her move the furniture around the living room five different times. I was, though.
- I also can't find my socks. That's troublesome. I guess it would be more troublesome if I couldn't find my underwear, but I'm good on that front. My mama washed them for me. I was going to help her out and fold all the stuff up, but when I opened the dryer, my dad's underwear were in there instead and I just couldn't make myself touch them. That is ridiculous since I am a grown-ass woman, but just thinking about it right now makes me say, "Ewww, I saw my dad's underwear" in my head. That doesn't really have anything to do with the not blogging. I was just thinking it was getting late and I should probably figure out what to wear to work tomorrow.
So, those are some of the reasons I'm AWOL. I do plan to return because I love this blog and I love all my peeps and I love reading all y'alls stuff, but I need to work on some time management and a few other things, like figuring out where the hell my forks are, before I can give this thing the stellar quality of writing you're all accustomed to.

14 Talk to Me:
Take your time. As long as we know you're still around and haven't been eaten by some horrible force of nature...
Find those forks but don't sweat the rest. I'm still tripping over boxes and we've been here since the first week in October. But the landlord finally replaced our toilet, though! So it's no longer leaking a bucket a day, and it doesn't flush so much as discreetly burps and takes your used ~feminine products~ and pee down with it. I haven't told anybody about my spiffy new toilet yet and I wanted to share with somebody.
Also, find the paper towels, cuz if you don't know where those are your life is going to suck.
WELCOME BACK! We've missed you! Totally understandable that you've been busy, though, and with holidays, it could be awhile before all those plates stop spinning! Look forward to hearing from you again!

You definitely have a rain check whenever you finally get a chance to come up for air.
We're gonna miss you! Take care and come back soon!!!
Glad to know everything is OK! Hopefully you know where the toilet paper is and you'll be golden!
Looking forward to your return!
I've really missed reading your blog. It is so entertaining to read. I hope you get everything straightened up & are able to get back to it on a regular basis soon.
We'll all be here when you get back. Maybe by then I will have time to write something too.
Please don't stay away too long! And let us know how the substitute teaching is going. As a former teacher I guarentee, you will have plenty of stories to share!
I sub too and I've taken the last 2 weeks off. I know I'm going to regret that come payday, but I just can't get myself to pick up a job!
I have missed you. Life is a little boring without your point of view.
Julia: I am honored you shared the news of your new toilet with me. I feel very special.
Yeah, I'm thinking the tripping on boxes may last a while since I'm exhausted and my stuff keeps getting here in small spurts.
And, my mom totally sent me a roll of paper towels, because she, too, knew life would suck without them. It's been lovely, I tell ya!
Will Burke: I was on my reader and saw you had a bunch of new posts and I was dying to get over there and read them b/c I miss all y'all, too. I can't wait to get back into it!!
Michelle: Thanks for the e-mail address. Once I can sit for more than a minute, I'll catch you up.
Oh, and totally taking you up on that raincheck and you totally have an open invite to come here any time you want, too!
Aunt Crazy: I miss y'all, too. I think I might be getting closer to a place where I can do this regularly. I hope so, anyway...
Greta: TP was the first thing I bought, before I even put my key in the door because life without TP would be very, very uncomfortable.
I look forward to returning!!
Anonymous: Thanks!! It's all starting to come together, so hopefully I'll be back soon...
Shawna: I'll be here when you get back, too!
Judy: I hope not to be gone too long and, Girl, the subbing? OMG, the stuff I see and hear is crazy! I love it, though!!
Foursons: I remember reading that on your blog. I couldn't get one for a couple of weeks, but now they're popping up every night which is nice since I have a ton of rent to pay.
mitzi.reaves: That is the sweetest thing ever! I am flattered. You totally made my day!
I'm glad to hear you're alive. We've all missed you! You are a brave, brave woman to be a sub. Either that or completely insane. Can't wait to hear the stories, though.
Hop on over to my blog when you've got a chance, there's an award waiting there for you.
Hee hee! I told you! You'll be able to write a book! I wish I would have written all the crazy things that happened during my teaching years. Great stuff!
I am company in your misery since moved too, about 3 weeks ago. I found my spoons and socks early on and have gotten used to the stacked boxes, so much so that, eerily, I am not even seeing them anymore which doesn't bode well for ever unpacking them.
