Getting back into the swing of things

The summer has just flown by, hasn't it??  Pookie was just saying yesterday that she can't believe her summer is over.  I'm always glad to see the school year begin, not because I want her out of the house but because I'm happy she'll be home again!   I could do without all the homework that the teachers make the parents do in the first week, but I suppose I can manage to fill out a few thousand forms without hurting anyone too badly.  She, of course, did not get the form back to the school last year for being in the band, so she isn't assigned to band this year .. which means more forms and probably a trip to the school to rearrange her schedule.

Pookie worked for my mom this summer and saved up her paychecks so she could buy .... a drum set.  Oh joy! We haven't found one yet, but we're looking for second hand set .. and then I'll be looking for donations of Tylenol, earplugs, and possibly a tranquilizer gun.

I just switched back to a midnight shift, which is not making me dance with joy, but that's where the work is, so that's where I'll be.  Production based work is a real pain in the patootie.  I -just- got used to being on a day shift after years of midnights!  Just in the last year .. it only took FOUR years to re-acclimate to being up during the days, now I'm right back to midnights again.  Grrr.  I just keep chanting to myself, "only 2-1/2 more years."

I'm obsessed with a new comedian, Danny Bhoy. I DVR'd this show, Subject to Change, and haven't been able to make myself delete it yet.  Is it possible, d'ya think, to wear out a DVR from watching a recorded show too much?



anyway, hopefully we'll be back into some kind of groove soon with school starting and all, and I may even have time to blog when I actually have the brain power to do it!  Won't that be exciting?  lol
