Bad Days and Popcorn
Oh, what a bad day today is.
Where could I even begin?
Today has been SO bad that I can’t really even go there….
However.
I CAN tell you a few things that are quite literally the BANE(s) of my entire EXISTENCE.
Number 1:
Freaking Trigonometry.

Hate hate HATE this subject.
I had a test today.
And while I really don’t KNOW what I got on said test, I am like 92% sure that I FAILED.
And, you know, it’s not like I didn’t try or do any of the homework…
Because I DID. I did ALL the homework AND went to class EVERY.STINKING.DAY.
I got a 100% on my last (and first of the semester) trig test and, while I really don’t like the subject, thought that I was going to be a-ok in the class.
Ha!
Fast forward to TODAY, after three straight days of studying NOTHING BUT trig… and…
VOILA!
I’m pretty sure I just FAILED my first test EVER.
Number 2:
I would like to lose like, I don’t know, SIX pounds.
That shouldn’t be hard, right?
WRONG-O.
Turns out that losing SIX pounds AFTER you’ve turned 30 and your metabolism has completely bottomed out, is a very difficult thing indeed.
Plus, I don’t think it helps that I was recently introduced to these:

Alright. Since I really HATE that most people who know me (but probably not well) think that I am a negative person (which really translates to me being REAL about things and not all marshmallows and flowers about everything) I always (now) feel that I have to temper my rants/complaints with something good.
So today, I will inform you about one thing that makes me INSTANTLY happy no matter what mood I’m in.
I LOVE watching movies with my kids while laying on my big, comfy bed. Our favorite movie to watch together right now is Coraline. We usually plop down on my bed twice or three times a week to do this (depending on my study schedule and how willing I am to procrastinate). It is absolutely imperative that popcorn, cookies, and milk are involved in this activity.

I swear. Nothing makes me happier than those 2 hours of doing nothing but hanging out with my kids and watching a really cool movie that we all like.
As I sit here, putting of studying for my microbiology test tomorrow, I wish for nothing more than that my kids were home from school and that we were queing up the movie, popping popcorn, and getting our milk and cookies ready. Ah. It is just my favorite, favorite time.
The only thing that would make that time EVEN better were if Tyson were there watching with us. Alas, he is usually at work when we have our relaxing movie time.
(Now you see the reason why the six pounds won’t come off.)
I better not put off studying for micro any longer.
Because if today is any indicator, it turns out that I’m not as smart as I thought I was… or NEED to be.
GAH!
I really, REALLY HATE school right now.

Wish I were there to watch a movie with you guys !!
I MISS you all very much
Your kidlins continue to get bigger and cuter with every passing day!
As for the trig, I did better with trig than I did with calculus, but that all relates back to the whole preference of geometry over algebra thing… But none of it is any fun at all after like 6th grade. (Of course, 6th grade is really where the useful math is taught, as opposed to all that higher math that you will NEVER ever use after you close the book for the semester!
Popcorn and movies and cookies and milk sound so much better than what I do with MY kids…like diagramming sentences and figuring out word problems. And hounding and nagging and begging and pleading. See, I told you. You rock as a mom! Call me soon. We need to play Settlers again.
p.s. I put my blog back up just for you.
oh and SIX POUNDS? Paaaleeeease! Don’t make me hate you!
“just keep swimming, just keep swimming”! how did you do on your test? I refuse to believe that you really failed it. miss you!!
