In the middle of all this, I was cross-eyed with fatigue. But just as I thought I would keel over, a Bob Marley song came on the radio. "Buffalo Soldier". Smoothed me out quite a bit.
I'm tired. Two more days of programs and then I get the weekend off. Thank goodness.

Susan- I hope you're in bed by now having sweet dreams. Rest up kiddo and tell us tomorrow about the hawk in the barn and the RADIO spot!! How kuul is THAT!!
That song has been in my head for DAYS! We are so connected.
Also, listen to Buffalo Soldier and think about the Banana Splits...
Ms Susan,
We have switched the hawk from canned dog food to Kibbles and Bits.
Your blog made me hungry for a buffalo sandwich.
Yours truly,
Well-meaning
Did you forget "Pick up girls from camp" or did DH do that? Or, are the girls living in a barn and being fed canned dog food?
You and I have to have a chat about nutrition. People cannot live on energy drinks alone; they need Real Food at Regular Intervals.
Luv ya,

It's no wonder you were cross-eyed. A day so action-packed without food isn't good. Grab a bag of fruit, candy, and a few bottles of water next time.
I'm really wanting to find out how you handle the dog food-eating hawk and the goofs who have it!
Oh, crap! I forgot to get the kids!
: )
Slacker. :)
What a kick-back life you lead! Oh, and listen to KatDoc!
