Still Hairy.. and busy

We never made it out to get haircuts yesterday. Lyssa wanted to sleep in a bit (she had stayed up really late Saturday night playing vidiot games with her brother and just didn't want to wake up.) We went out in the evening for me to pick up a couple of items for the project we're going to do at Girl Scouts today, and drove by the haircut place, but they were closed already.

I have a fairly busy schedule this week, although I only have to work today and tomorrow. (Yay!!)
Back when I was a kid, parent/teacher conferences went on for a week and took place in the evenings. We didn't get to miss school for them. Not so with kids now. They get most of this week off for conferences, then all of next week is Spring Break. I'm looking forward to it. The kids I work with are ecstatic. Strangely, most of them hate school.

Wednesday, we were planning to go to the science museum, but I checked the calendar, and both kids have orthodontic appointments. I'm thinking that will be the afternoon I end up defrosting our freezer. Do I lead an exciting life or what?
::sigh::

When we bought the freezer, Eric said, "Let's get frost-free." And the salesman explained that food dried out more in a frost free appliance. Know what? I don't give a shit. Next time I get a freezer, it WILL be frost free, because this is a pain in the ass! And every time I chew a bite of dried frozen food, I will smile to myself and say, "It was all worth it."

Thursday is Game Day, one of Alyssa's favorite things to do. We can't miss Game Day! I'll be doing a bit o' cleaning Thursday morning, too. I've promised myself to do something to get things straightened up every single day that I'm off work.

We decided that Friday is science museum day. I don't know how long we'll stay there, or how much fun we'll have, but they have dinosaur skeletons on display, and Lyssa really wants to see them.
So do I, of course. They had another dino display, Giants of the Gobi there many years ago, and they were amazing.
Back in the old days, I had a membership to the museum because we went all the time. Now we almost never go. Matt always loved it, Lyssa was indifferent, and when he outgrew the monthly visits, we pretty much stopped going.
Lyssa said last night that she doesn't understand why we don't go there more often. :-D

I have a package to send to my parents. In it are two boxes of Thin Mints and two boxes of Samoas. They're the last of the great cookies of 2008, and have been packed and ready to go for about two weeks. I'm thinking this will be the week I manage to get to the post office, too.

When we went out yesterday evening to obtain the rest of the supplies we'd need for today's Girl Scout project, we pulled up at Craft Warehouse about four minutes after they closed. Shit. That means that this morning, I will have to run over to Sprawlmart and get the few items I need. I'm going to have to get away from this infernal machine and shower, methinks.

And I'm reminding myself to wear green, even though I am not Irish and I don't care what day it is. I don't want to listen to kids telling me I'm not wearing green all afternoon.

Tonight is choir again, too. Every term I sing with them, there is at least one song that I actively hate. This term is no different. Aaack.

Okay, I'm off. I'm sure you knew that.

p.s.
oh! Oh!! Oh!! I forgot!
I stepped on the scale this morning, The damn thing is finally moving downward again. 18 lbs lost so far. I wasn't ready to give up at all... was just continuing to do what I'd been doing. But it was getting sort of discouraging to see it STUCK at the same place every time.
