Totally Terrible Tuesday Things:

• Finding the PERFECT house----only to find out it is in a bad school zone.
• sunburns
• Not enough time to do all that needs to be done
• blueberries (gallons and gallons to be picked)
• It seems like the longer the summer is the thinner OC gets
• Darcy is still shedding---profusely
• Still gaining weight
• Lack of sleep
• School starts in three weeks---do I buy all of the supplies on the list, or try to 'get by' until we move?  Do I make him get a hair cut so the vice principal will stay off his back---or do I let him leave it long as the new school system doesn't have hair length requirements: which would leave me to deal with the VP until we got moved.

Totally Terriffic Tuesday Things:

Totally Terrible Tuesday Things

Totally Terrific Tuesday Things

• Sweet fresh picked blueberries still warm from the sun
• My own bed, with my own pillows and my own fan

• Air conditioning!
• (edited to add) Being acknowledged by one of my VOX neighbors---feels good and made me smile from ear to ear.

Totally Terrible Tuesday Things

• The server at work fried over the weekend because people can't leave the thermostat alone.  Hello people?!?!?! wear a sweater if you are cold and don't wear short shorts and spaghetti straps to the office.  Leave the thermostat alone!!
• The server at work was fixed yesterday but is down again today.  Have I mentioned that I depend on e-mail for a large part of my job?
