Day 3 of 7: rainbows and bats

Good evening friends.
I had a very weird morning today and I look forward to sharing it with you.

* Morning math problem: My alarm goes off at 5:40 every morning. My snooze is 6 minutes long. Today was picture day at work, I had to actually "do" my hair. I hit the snooze 6 times. This equals me getting up way too late but I managed to get out the door a little earlier than usual and make all the packed lunches needed in my house. Have I ever mentioned my skin breaking out? No, I haven't, because it doesn't. Except for picture day. Yep, it is High School all over again.

*My drive to work was full of lots of lightening and thankfully light traffic. People in our town cannot drive if there is any rain, wind, snow, air, clouds, etc. When I got out of my car at the school, I looked to the West and saw a red rainbow. Odd for two reasons: 1) The sun was not up yet and 2) who the hell sees a red rainbow??? The next event may explain it..

*I enter the building thru the maintenance garage doors. I have walked this walk for three years and have never noticed the HUGE chimney at the entrance. I probably have never noticed it because I come in after sunrise and don't get to see the THOUSANDS of BATS that go down into it when the sun is coming up. Holy Crap. I have never seen anything like it. I asked one of my maintmen if they were indeed bats and he said "Yup". My skin crawled for a good couple minutes. I asked my maintmen where that chimney goes and he didn't know. "So there are thousands of baths just hanging out where I walk in and out everyday?" "Yup". Gross. Skin crawling, nothing like Twilight, Gross.

*Another morning math problem: red rainbow + thousands of bats = portal of hell. Great, I work at a portal to hell. It actually explains a lot about where I work. But I love my job. And grilled cheese.

*I broke our printer trying to get new cartridges in it today. Guess we will be getting a new one. Anyone have any advice on a new, wireless printer? Just need it to print kid's stuff and pics. It can scan but I don't need it to fax.

And now for the boring part of the day, my food stats:
Weighed in at 150
1170 cals, 97 carbs, 58 grams fat, 69 protein. I just realized that the ground chicken I am eating is 11 grams per 3oz serving. Ground turkey is only 6. I am also getting killed on fat grams with olive oil (good fat, whatever, still fat) and salad dressings.

I did not work out at all today. Between spending time breaking my printer, doing the 4 plus loads of laundry that appeared over night (I think my laundry baskets are part of the portal to hell), the kids showers, homework, dinner, etc, I just couldn't muster the energy. I may do some weights while watching tv later or I may just lay my weight on the couch.

Middle child is grounded for a couple days for clothesling his brother outside while playing ( I am a seasoned Ref and can make such calls without mistake). When he treats youngest like crap, all the neighbor kids do too. That crap stops now and should have stopped a long time ago.

Have a great rest of your night. Tomorrow is Hump Day!! Thank goodness. I am ready for this week to be over all ready.
