When your boss is Donald Trump OR when you are asking RTT'ers about when you know it is time to quit your job.
Throat starting to really bother. Sinuses backed up and draining in. Popped some sudafed and blasted Flonase that I had sitting around. Need this stuff out.
Dropped #4 off at her first day of preschool. She was so excited. Didn't help mom that "Sweet Child of Mine" started playing as soon as I opened he door for her to leave.
She could ride the bus to school with big sisters, but I will take her for now. Forgot how crazy mornings are when you are trying to get 1500 kids to school and only have one E-W road running through town.
There is a N-S gravel road that runs into town right past the high school then a straight shot to 2 of the other 3 schools. It is currently being paved which will be awesome, but is closed for another 3 weeks or so. So pretty much everyone and all the buses have to come in on the same road.

Why, yes, I too think semicolons are unnecessary
Went to see "The Spy Who Loved Me" at Movies 12 last night for part of their classic series. Had forgotten that Bond film turned 40 this year. I was too young to have seen it on the big screen, so it was fun to see it on something other than the tv.
Coming up (September 13), Movies 12 is showing the 35th anniversary director's cut of "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan." They showed it last year (I think) randomly and we missed going because we lost track of the days that particular week. I DID get to see it on the big screen when it was first released, then a couple years ago in one of those grand old movie houses in San Francisco. If you're a fan of ST:TWOK, you gotta go see it in the theater - totally worth it.

I turned 40 yesterday. Went to Boys to Men concert last night. That made me feel better about being 40.
And massively hung over today.

Wait till you watch a 50th Anniversary theater run of something you saw as a first run, then you know you are getting old.
Me in 2012 at Columbia Heights doing the math while watching Lawrence of Arabia on their big screen.
Happy belated birthday. Welcome to the "Dammit, why does that hurt?" Club.
cool story bro coming up
Last night Dh pointed out a story about a local high school volleyball player. She had moved up here just before the season started. Reason he pointed it out was because she moved from our hometown area. Neat.
Kept reading and noticed that they had been driving 1.5 hours 4 days a week for her to play club in IA. Wow. Dad was tired of it. Decided they'd move to WI so she could play up here. Wait, what? Yeah, they literally moved two hours north so she could play volleyball. Went to an open house and bought a house and moved all in like a week. There was a comment about the kids' mandatory yearly overseas trips. Not like, legally required, but like, parents want them to travel or something which I guess is cool. Anyway I'm thinking yikes, I hope the siblings enjoyed their lives being uprooted for this.
Start googling the dad, he's some CEO of a small company. Then DH found the house they bought. I'm like hey, didn't we look at that neighborhood when we went to Parade of Homes a couple years ago? Weren't those the huge fancy homes?
He finds the listing. I'm like wait a second.............turns out it's actually one of the houses we saw. I'll never forget it because it had a special brick oven just for making pizzas (I still want this!) and a catwalk for the ~10 year old daughter's "princess suite". Remember when Hoiberg's Ames house got posted? It's not far off from that.
So yeah. Family uprooted life in a week for teen daughter to play vball up here. I mean, I guess the town they came to is bigger but it's not like it's a huge elite program or anything. Nor does it sound like the girl is super elite (not to be mean, just, if you're going to do all this I guess I was expecting a Lauren Carlini or something).

The timing of when that song is played is scary. I never really payed much attention to how sentimental those lyrics were until the youngest one's last day of elementary school last year. I totally broke down.
I had some coworkers (all women) go last night as well. One of which is single...
