Some of Us Have Been Reading Upside Down for an Hour

So I am expanding my menagerie repertoire (pronounced in a snooty, French-y, tone) of students and now have an adult in the mix.  With the chitlins, I sit next to them while they read.  With this one, I, of course, sit across the table.  Which means I follow along upside down during the reading.  Which makes for a very interesting hour.  I'm getting really good.  If anyone wants to recruit me for like, the CIA, just let me know.  Hopefully they pay better.

Here was the progression of my day, post K-8 school chaos work:

Lunch with SJ!  Mexican food, my spicy lover!

I would just like to say that I don't, in fact, have 2 inches of tar black roots in my hair.  That's the lighting.

Since I downed my last DDP last night, an emergency trip to Sonic was necessary before an afternoon of tutoring.  Miracle!  I managed to get about an hour's worth of research done in between sessions!  I may just pass after all.

And right before my last sesh tonight (below).  Please note the progression of caffeinated beverages.  Please also note that I will be cursing myself as I'm laying awake until like 3:00 a.m.  Why am I my worst enemy?  Why do I not just acknowledge that I am no longer 22 years old?

BUT!  Look what I found tonight!  Impulse buy and it was totally worth it!

I ran into Barnes & Noble to use a 20% off coupon (got Kingsolver's The Bean Trees for $5.00!) and saw this at the cash register.  I am so not an impulse-buy-type, but whatevs!  I snatched this puppy up and got a different one for G!  I will now crack up every single time I open my book. #howtosurvivegradschool

And with that?  Monday's over!
