Blue Monday

Ok, so it will come as no surprise to you that Monday is my least favorite day of the week. Ugh! What is there to like about Monday? OK, so yes, "This IS the day that the Lord has made..." So there must be something good about it, but I was just not seeing it today. Maybe because I woke up with my eyes almost swollen shut? I must have had a allergic reaction to my new eye shadow or mascara. This is a fairly common occurrence for me. It happens about 3 times per year. But it is so frustrating. So I had to wear my ugly glasses. I have a headache from wearing them because the prescription is old. I was going to take a picture of me in my glasses, but I decided I look too ugly, so I called in a substitute.

She looks better in them than I do. Probably because she can wear eye makeup! Besides my eyes, I have a funky scaly rash on my cheek. So this was not a good day, appearance-wise.

On a more positive note, I am trying to decide what my next felting project will be. I kind of want to make a larger bag this time. Maybe a purse. I am looking for some fun patterns to choose from. Of course, I will share when I am done or maybe even before I get started.

Jacob is spending the week in detention You will never believe why... He was in the hallway at lunch time, tapping on the wall or a cabinet or something. It was that annoying rhythmic tapping that kids all do these days. The teacher told him to quit and he did. Then about 5 minutes later he got distracted and started doing it again. So she wrote him up and he got called in to see the counselor who told him that because he was written up 2 weeks ago for being disruptive in his Oklahoma History class that he will now have to spend 4 days in ISI, which is detention. All the school day he will be out of class and sitting in a special class where he has to work on homework. Personally. I think that is ridiculous. 4 full days for tapping? Seems a little out of line. Back in the "olden" days when I was in school, you know when we had horses and buggies? Yes, well we would get an hour of detention if we annoyed a teacher. But a full 4 days??? He is missing out on classroom instruction while this is happening. I think this is really bogus. To be honest, I think they should have given him swats or something. He needs to be in the classroom!
