Whizziness 'n stuff.

What a week this has been!!  Crystal so kindly reminded me about how I was already breaking the "new law" that my dad informed me of, so I figured that I'd better get an update on here.

Honestly, this week feels a lot like this...

I just feel like the days are whizzing by and I'm not sure which way is up and which way is down.  It's advising week at work, you see, so I have been B-U-S-Y.  Don't get me wrong, I really DO enjoy this week, but it can leave me feeling a little like this...

In fact, I'm pretty sure that I had a moment yesterday morning where I looked something like this (sans the wedding ring)...

But what do you do, right?!  Well, all I know that a person just needs to get PLENTY of sleep, drink lots of water and pop an occasional airborne tablet and after that, you can manage advising week just fine. :)


Another thing going on this week is the wind.  Oy vey.  Sunday and Tuesday, it was SO windy outside!!  It was incredible!!  I completely understand why you read of women in wagon times just going crazy because of the wind.  Out on the prairie where there is nothing to stop it, it's just intense and it could certainly drive a person crazy.  Of course, we manage it just fine, but it sure makes us more thankful for the non-windy days!  What I'M most thankful for on the non-windy days, though, is not having to worry about holding down my skirt!  When I stopped at the grocery store on Tuesday, I'm pretty sure I had a moment where I looked something like this...



Yeah...it was pretty bad.  What wasn't caught on camera is that while I was trying to hold down my skirt after this incident, my shirt proceed to fly up in front of my face.  So...not only did the world get to see my underwear at one point, but I'm pretty sure they saw my brassiere, too.  *sigh*


What is also frustrating about windy days is that a person can spend precious time in the morning getting dressed for work and doing their hair and then they leave the house and disaster happens.  You feel like you're looking all nice and stuff, but by the time you wander out in the wind and make it to work, you often end up feeling like you look something like this...

No joke.  So, you head into the bathroom to check things out and freshen up a bit and you find that what you really look like resembles something more like this (sans the leash)...
Yeah...that wind can be kind of a frustrating thing to deal with and even more so in a week when you feel busy, tired and run down.  It just seems like you're much more quick to get SO aggravated by the wind. 

Anyway, there's a little update for you on how I've been.  I hope you've been having a great week!!  On another note...I think that I'm going to amend "the new law" a bit by saying be thankful if you hear from me within a 96-hour time period with each post, at least until I'm done with school.  After that, I'll try harder to accomplish posting more in the 48-hour range. ;)

Thanks for the effort it took to put this post together. HILARIOUS. Not that we're laughing at the fact you've had a windy, busy, exhausting week....but if you were having a grand, calm week there wouldn't have been a need for a great post like this! Last night I was telling Sadie that it is great if we can learn to laugh at ourselves. Ivey chimed in and said "It's called SENSE OF HUMOR". I'm glad you've got one, Jen. :) Love, Michelle

I had to laugh! After reading some other very upsetting political things this evening, it was nice to see some "silliness" that made me chuckle. Love you, mom

Hang in there, Jen!! I do remember how downright demoralizing that wind can be sometimes. Miss you, miss!
