So, spring break is a couple of months away and I'm going to have a girl's week in Las Vegas!  We're going to use a time share week that my friend Susan has. 

Our first choice of destinations was Washington DC.  Not because of politics or anything like that, but because we were hoping to catch the Cherry Blossoms in bloom.  We're so patriotic!  lol!  Sadly, there was nothing available there the week we want to go.

Our second destination choice was Gatlinburg.  I told you guys I loved it there!  Spending a week in the mountains in March should be much warmer than it was in November and just as pretty.  Sadly, the only thing available for us was a one bedroom condo and that just wasn't going to work.

So, my friend's husband, who was doing all the condo searches for us said there were some really nice availabilities in Vegas and we jumped on it!

So, now all I need is for March 20th to get here so I can go there!

I'll try to tell you guys all about the trip, but you know what they say.....

What happens in Vegas......

Oh, who am I kidding, I'll give you all the details!  lol!

Don't get mad if you're cold.....

I know it may be a little too soon to make another weather post for those of you that are cold, but I really need to share this story.

On Tuesday afternoon, I got in the car after school and the AC didn't seem to be working. I wasn't happy, but I didn't worry about it too much until I was going to school Wednesday morning and it still didn't seem to be working.

Now I was a little worried! Why wasn't it working? Why hadn't it fixed itself over night?

I suffered through a long day at work before getting in the car to go home only to find that my AC still hadn't fixed itself.  I drove home as fast as I could because it was very warm out!

I grab OCG and convince him that we need to take a drive in my car so he can try to figure what is wrong with my car.  I suggested that going for ice cream would be a great idea since there's no air and the car will be hot.

We get in the car and I quickly point out that you can feel the air blowing, but it's not cold.  He sits there for what feels like forever before he says anything.  I'm starting to think that we aren't going for ice cream because it's too hot in the car and he can't stand it when he finally speaks up.....

OCG:  your air isn't working? (Said more like a question than a statement of fact.)
ME: I know, right?

OCG just shook his head, reached over to the console and said,

Did you know that you need to push right here in order to actually turn the AC on?

It turns out that my AC works just fine when it is turned on.

If any of you happen to know Chuck Lorre could you ask him to call me.  I've got a great idea for a new TV character he might be interested in writing a comedy about.

HAHA!

So, you know how when someone gets or thinks they got a little bit of power they go all, "I'm the best! No one is better than me!" Crazy?

Well, that happened to one of the girls I work with this year.

We used to be friends. Now she's just someone I work with.

Everyone has some very nice (and by that, I mean very naughty) nicknames they now use behind her back.  I didn't make any of them up, but I certainly understand how she earned them.

On Tuesday we're all supposed to take our classes over to the main cafeteria for a fundraiser kickoff to promote those stupid "World's Finest Chocolate" sale that parents everywhere are tortured with every year.

Don't even get me started on how I think that company should be sued for false advertising because they DO NOT have the "World's Finest Chocolate"!

Also, you really DON'T want to get me started on how stupid it is that my principal thinks this is worthy of interrupting class time, but heaven forbid we give kindergarten kids an art project or take up an entire day right before Christmas reading The Polar Express and pretending to actually go to the North Pole!

Anyway, I'm in class Monday morning and there's a loud knock on the door and look up to see Ms. I'm Better Than Everyone In The Whole World standing there.

I felt sick. Nothing good ever comes of her intrusions.

Earlier in the year, I even told her that everytime she comes around I just want to slit my wrist.  She thought I was joking.

Not so much!

I open the door to have her ask me if I'm going to the fundraiser rally.  I say that I thought it was on Tuesday and not on Monday.  She informs me that I am wrong.  It was today and the principal even said it on the morning announcements.

I quickly line my class up as she moves on to the next door to let that teacher know she also forgot.

You see, she knocked on EVERY kindergarten teacher's door to let us know that she was wonderful and remembered we sucked and forgot.

We all rushed our kids over to the main campus only to find out that no one was waiting for us in the cafeteria.  We stood there and waited while I told everyone that I was pretty sure it was on Tuesday.

Eventually, my principal came out laughing because.....wait for it.....

I WAS RIGHT!

Score one for the underdog!
