It's always a big hit, the unfortunate faux pas compilation of behaviors that former students have used to try Val's patience. Hopefully, it won't be standing room only. The cover charge is pretty steep: residence in the district, and homework every day of the school year.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44153327583799894.post-27766242083083583172011-06-24T00:54:56.169-05:002011-06-24T00:54:56.169-05:00Val, you are one hilarious woman!

Everything is true, except the last one, which is a Dolly Parton/Porter Waggoner duet.<br /><br />*******************************<br /><br />Sioux,<br />I gathered up the nerve to attend my very first meeting, mainly by roping Genius into accompanying me for moral support. We entered the meeting room, and Genius helped unstack and parcel out chairs. They remained empty, except for the dude in charge, and his wife and son. AWKWARD! There will be no charge for this meeting-clearing advice, seeing as how it mainly involves me being me.<br /><br />Even the bed flop exercise is preferable to his new trick of placing his fist under my back. I feel like a princess suffering the indignities of 10,000 peas, nestled one inside the other like Russian nesting dolls.<br /><br />******************************<br /><br />Linda,<br />We'd have all the riches our pockets would hold.<br /><br />Funny you should mention pillow top mattress. We didn't get it at Sam's, though. We got it from a local furniture store. It wasn't like that when we tried it out on site. Maybe it was a bait-and-switch conspiracy to give me dark circles under my eyes. To think of all the time we wasted traveling from one merchant to another, laying in beds! No sagging problem, but the motion sickness is making for some restless nights. For me. He never seems to have a problem.<br /><br />Every year I think about getting a dishwasher. However, we need six new tires more. I refuse to dip into savings for a dishwasher. I also refuse to give up my daily Sonic soda for dishwasher money.<br /><br />*******************************<br /><br />Tammy,<br />The most recent one I repulsed was my new haircutter. (Ding, dong, the Butcher of Seville is gone!) She has children of her own, and still she was disgusted. I know teachers are badly coiffed, but that was uncalled for. It's not like I go into her place of business and badmouth her profession. Oh...yeah...I do.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44153327583799894.post-77992629203162265242011-06-19T10:47:56.092-05:002011-06-19T10:47:56.092-05:00Kids do that, don't they?!

Two years later, it's like quicksand, you sink deeper into a body pit. If he is 100 pounds heavier than you are, you'll roll into his trench. When he tosses, turns, jerks his legs, flails his arms in killer dream land, you'll get motion sickness, and have to struggle out of the gulley to turn away. <br /><br />Dishwasher? I was the dishwasher for so many years. Now I have this mechanical thing that fits near the sink. You should try one, you'll never go back to water logged hands.Linda O'Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982895073903619018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44153327583799894.post-32424805692566623612011-06-19T04:28:10.539-05:002011-06-19T04:28:10.539-05:00I wonder, too, what you did if the bit about the w...I wonder, too, what you did if the bit about the writers' group is correct. Because there is ONE person in one of my writers' groups that I would love to drive away. Please! I will send in $12.95 + $4.95 shipping and handling if you will sell me the secret behind your scheme. Just kidding about the willingness to part with money (really, I'm jesting). Just kidding about wanting to do something to cause ONE fellow writer to leave (not really kidding).<br /><br />This post was a delightful blend of whimsy and seriousness. But hey! Think of all the aerobic exercise you get as your husband tosses and turns!Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44153327583799894.post-39555239132621462912011-06-19T00:34:41.923-05:002011-06-19T00:34:41.923-05:00Now Val, you've got me wondering.

Why would your attendance at a writers group cause everyone to stay away?<br />You paint such vivid pictures with your words. I can identify with much of your post especially the bed as trampoline.
