I taught a class until 11 a.m. today, and then had EVERY INTENTION of going to the library and reading for tomorrow's classes before my 2:00 meeting. EVERY INTENTION. However, I had another resume deadline (which I didn't realize until midnight last night ... fortunately I made 6,000,000 copies at the start of all this OCI madness, so everything was on hand).

Then I had to be in front of Career Services at 12 on the dot to sign up for the interview I've been granted. I ate lunch in the meantime.

Then I IM'd with my mother for a little bit. My brother is getting married in a month, and my mother is OBSESSED. She's mostly obsessed with what she is going to wear. Now she got a dress, and she's obsessed with constantly trying the dress on. She's trying to get obsessed over what *I* am going to wear, but I'm not allowing it. No way. She sends me links to dresses, she brings me skirts when she comes to town, and I just .... well, ignore her. I don't have time for this right now!! I don't care what I wear! I'll find something a WEEK before the wedding, not a month. I'm mad at my brother anyway.

He's getting married on a THURSDAY. Isn't that reason to be angry? a THURSDAY!! In another state. Granted, I can drive, but it takes almost 3 hours (without traffic). Thing One and Thing Two are in the wedding. So I *must* be at the dress rehearsal ... on a WEDNESDAY!! And that week, there's no school on Tuesday because of Rosh Hashanah, and so my Tuesday classes will likely schedule make ups for Friday. Which means .... I may miss 2 days of classes.

Okay - I got sidetracked. So I stopped IMing with my mother, and I looked at Family Law. I surveyed the amount of reading. Thumbed through the pages. Then I thought OH!! I forgot to fill out the enrollment packets for the After School Program for Thing One and Thing Two! So I started that. I hate doing that. I have to answer the same questions 50,000 times so they can have the information in 3 different places. Then, there's a whole new packet, with another 50,000 questions for the SECOND child. I got bored of it, and the forms were making me think of questions, so I called them to confirm when I needed to bring in the info, and asked a bunch of questions. Turns out I don't have to rush, so I put their redundant forms away. For now.

And now it's less than an hour until my meeting. Come on. How much reading can I *really* get done in less than an hour? I'd say, um, NONE! (Since I'm not reading!) Perfect time to check the blogs, see who's updated, email my sister, you know, the IMPORTANT things.

Hell, I deserve it. I went to bed at ONE after prepping for my class, got up at 6 to go running (oh, nooooo, my hesitance in buying a dress for the wedding has noooothhhing to do with my secret hope that I can drop a good 5-10 pounds before October, absolutely nooooot, it's all to do with my MOTHER!) The past 2 weeks have been some weird form of self-abuse.

So yes, I'm relaxing. I may even go get my iPod, and put my book on, and lean back and close my eyes for 10 minutes. Imagine. The horror.
