Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. Let’s get started.
Mini-me’s religion class was supposed to go see “Risen”, and with one thing and another, they have not, so we went to see it last night. I thought it was well-done, though Draco Malfoy will always be Draco Malfoy even in sandals. I was glad we didn’t wait on the others, and seeing Joseph Fiennes in a Roman bath provided today’s HHD inspiration.

Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

Sleepy Sleepy
wakey wakey. SLeepy too. Woke up at 4 and tossed and turned for two hours over soccer.
Today, I slack.
Today I have homeschool connection bullshit all day then work. Throw in a bit of running around for more bs.
Plus I now have about 38 hours to complete my daughter’s FAFSA.
The night before last I didn’t sleep well and was tired all day. This morning I woke up at 5am and tossed and turned until my wake-up call at 6:30.
Bleh. I hate traveling.
Soccer update: I went to practice yesterday.
I watched them stand around for 15 minutes, and then end practice early. Erin was standing in line waiting for her turn to to do some completely useless drill. The drill was SO slow moving (and stupid anyway) that Erin never actually got her turn.
The varsity team was doing something completely different and while not exactly the best drill I’ve ever seen – at least they were moving.
Erin said they spend the entire practice doing stupid drills – always slow moving and always taking forever to set up. She said the JV ran ONE lap around the soccer field (which is not even a quarter of a mile) while the varsity ran 7 or 8.
Yea. This isn’t happening.
I had words with the Jv coach, but I think i wasn’t as harsh as I should have been. There will be more words.
I’m sure the coach will be very receptive to your ideas.
Yea – the coach is an idiot who should be fired. I was actually not mean at all. That was really before the shitty practice had completely sunk in.
Honestly – there is not a single person who would have thought the coaches were doing a good job. Probably not even their mothers.
After that catastrophe, I went to Ethan’s practice, which is run by two college students. Fuckin NIGHT AND DAY. Those coaches are on point and those kids work hard.
This isn’t rocket science. I honestly don’t understand how our school (which is a big school) has done this. It’s as if they are intentionally trying to ruin the soccer program. I’m going to wait until after Spring break, but unless something dramatic happens I’m pulling her.
Yeah, pull her out and have her play on the travel team like was proposed by her other coach. The school team sounds like a mess that won’t get fixed anytime soon without a lot of drama and heartache.
Several parents pulling their kids from the teams will send a message.
“Shitty coaches save us money!”
I put myself in bed at 9pm last night and didn’t get up until 7. Still in some sleep debt, but less now. I was semi-conscious from 330 to 530, but I’ve read that that can still be “sleep” for your brain as long as you don’t talk.
FAFSA convinced me that we need to outlaw federal student aid.
Man, yesterday was really windy here. According to the news, gusts were 90 to 100 mph near my house (top of the mountain behind us). No idea how high it got down here. Fortunately the next few days are supposed to be much calmer.
FAFSA turned me into a newt.
You need a tunnel network Pepe.
Hire some Mexicans to dig a drug tunnel system and lie about where the border is located.
I denounce myself
This is for Carin. None of you other fuckers look.
First – soccer should be outlawed as a crime against humanity.
Second – I know there are a few readers of military fiction around here. While it isn’t the greatest example ever you guys should check out Ghost Fleet by P.W. Singer http://amzn.to/1Y0zUsM although he is far kinder to the LCS than xbradtc and the crew over at Bring the Heat Bring the Stupid.
Don’t worry, Car in will be switching them over to softball soon.
When you realize “soccer” is shortened from “association football” it starts to sound more like the disdainful moniker it is. Which is as it should be, no competitive sport should ever be allowed to conclude on a tie, especially 0-0. (I know, penalties, but dammit, what was the point of the preceding two hours of grabass then?)
Soccer is an abomination before God and man, I tell you…
If the coach is a woman she’s going to wonder why the short haired, subaru driving, muscle bound, crazy lady has suddenly taken an interest in her.
Just sayin’, be prepared to go on a date.
The coaches are men. Boys to be honest.
Yesterday I consumed
– 2 handfuls of Combos
– 80 oz coffee
– 24 oz iced tea
– 28 oz Coke
I feel subpar today.
Nummy HHD today, Roamy =D
You probably needed a bowl of dicks.
I took some vitamins, maybe that will help.
The only ones I could find were Woman’s Ultra Mega.
I hope it doesn’t turn me gay.
Something something pre-existing condition something something
You’d have been better off eating nothing and drinking water all day. Yuck.
‘Turn’
The lady vitamin must have helped.
I feel fabulous!
Probably feel like gardening, or crossfit, now.
Or making us sammiches.
Well, he is known for his chicken boobs!
A friend of mone has an excavation company and he called me all panicky asking if I’d help him out.
We met for drinks last night and; while I know this isnt a bus, it looks like I’m going to be driving one of these for a while.
You all are going to look funny riding in the back of this baby.

handy for picking up drunks outside the ghetto bar.
You should drive that to New Mexico and fix Pepe’s driveway.
I think Pepe has one.
The lady vitamin must have helped.
Throw a bottle of these in your truck for the next trip:

Must be a hell of a bottle to hold those.

I could “walk the dog”.
Chipped my tooth doing “around the world”
wonder how many concussions that kid got while learning how to do that…
FAFSA stands for Fucking Awful Federal Screw All.
I gave my kids knock-off Flintstone vitamins from Krogers because the Flintstones vitamins had aspartame.

Milfy.
Woof.
Dinner tonight was meatloaf, baked potatoes, and spinach salad. Trying to fatten up Rocketboy before I have to send him back to school.
Fatten with spinach salad?
Pepperoni salad is where it’s at.
He could go pepperonian.
Gotta work the nutrition angle.
His girlfriend had her wisdom teeth out over spring break, so he’s going to make chicken soup for her. I offered to make it for him to take back, but he wants to make it himself. Awwwwww.
Dawww.
Somebody had a fun day
I paused my hockey match to watch that yo yo kid.
Cheese and Rice!
Roamy,
Rocketboy reminds me of me, & Anita.
Be careful what you wish for.
We’re heading for 47 years together…
MiL had a good 2nd day. Dan and I are taking her a few more items from home, now that she’s settled in.
It’s a stressful time, Oso. Glad to hear day 2 was better than day 1.
Thanks, XB. At least she isn’t following Dan and trying to help. She only called twice today, because SiL didn’t give specific times or plans for MiL to write down.
oy!
long day
time for nite nite
When you’re waiting for a derp to come
In the night there is no one
