RTT: Not enough time!

I haven't had a good rant in quite awhile, so I thought I'd step up on the soap-box and complain a little.
We can call this the Random Tuesday Thoughts that I didn't have until Wednesday...

  • I should be working on my History Midterm that is due Friday, but I don't feel like writing a 3-5 page essay today. I worked 8-9 hours straight yesterday on four short essays for my history midterm. WTH? Why does this professor assign so much work? I've been asking that from day one.
  • Not only do I have a history midterm due Friday, I have a math (in-class) midterm tomorrow at 6. Which means I only have today and tomorrow to study for the exam. Also, I have to drive two hours to my sister's house to study with her and then we have to drive at least 45 minutes to the campus. Furthermore, we have never been to the GSB at the Shelby Campus, so we have no idea where we'll be taking the exam. Hopefully our professor is just as nice as our professor from last semester. *fingers crossed*
  • I turned in an essay for English that was due the 7th a few days early. That was nerve-racking trying to get it done before the weekend so we could go to Talladega (we did go!).
  • Thankfully, my English teacher doesn't have anything assigned until the end of the month. I am so grateful for that.
  • My psychology professor obviously thinks that we don't have enough work to do, so he has assigned discussions now. He thinks we don't have enough interactions. It was fine with me! I didn't want to have to interact with another class. Isn't two interactions with two other classes enough?
  • Want to know what the next couple of weeks consists of for me? I'm gonna tell you anyway!
  • Tomorrow is the math midterm @ 6pm.
  • History midterm is due Friday @ 11:59 pm.
  • Jeremy has drill this weekend, so I will at least have all of my attention on schoolwork.
  • Chapter 8 Quiz in History opens up on Sunday, which means I have to have my study guide completed before Monday, so I can take the quiz on Tuesday; it's due at 11:59 pm on Tuesday.
  • I have another Psychology paper due on the 17th (just turned in the last one on the 4th).
  • Discussion Week 9 opens in History and is due on Friday the 19th.
  • Chapter 9 Quiz in History opens on the 21st, which means another study guide to complete.
  • Also, all next week, I have to work on Assignment 4 in Math which is due by 5pm on the 23rd for the extra bonus points.
  • Chapter 9 Quiz in History is due @ 23:59 on the 23rd.
  • Psychology Exam on Chapters 3 and 5 opens on my birthday, the 24th and closes on the 25th.
  • Discussion Week 10 opens on the 24th in History.
  • I have to respond to the discussion forum in English by 11:55 pm on the 24th.
Ridiculous, huh? It's never-ending! I never feel like I have enough time. When am I supposed to have fun?? Tell me that?! UGH!
*Stepping off of soap-box now*
I hope everyone had a great weekend and I hope everyone is enjoying this nice weather we've been having lately! It's awesome!
Be sure to link up with Stacy at Stacy Uncorked for Random Tuesday Thoughts. I didn't have a chance yesterday, so I'm just now doing it. Oh well! Not enough time in the day!

Today's word is PUKE: Brought to you by the letter P!

I deserve a beer after the morning I've had. But since I don't drink and we don't have any beer anyway, I'm drinking J's last Mountain Dew! So there! 

Who doesn't love cleaning up puke in the mornings? Especially dog puke...
Sabrina has been puking nearly every 20 minutes since 0600. At first, it was small puke, then it got to be bigger puke. I started off cleaning up two small spots on the carpet, then I had to clean 6 large spots on the CARPET. Now I'm having to wash the dog bed, a comforter and a couple of towels. Poor Bina...
I think we need to take her to the vet. And I thought J should share in my lovely morning, so I sent him a photo of her puke and then called to tell him that we should take her to the vet. 
I would share that lovely photo with y'all, but I'm trying to drink this here Mt. Dew and eat my blueberry poptart without puking myself...plus, it has been almost 30 minutes since the last puking and I'm sure it's due.

I hope you lovely folks have a wonderful morning...whatever day it is.
Seriously, it feels like a Monday. Can someone check the calendar for me? I'm too tired to look.

**Update: Make that two dog beds... Vet appt. at 4:30. (I don't have a way to take her there myself. Have to wait for J to get home.)

RTT: For the love of the couch!

This post is gonna mostly be about a couch... More specifically, our first couch. This couch:
Here it is in Elijah's Barrel, next to the ottomon that I later bought.

Still in the Thrift Shop, Elijah's Barrel-March 2009.
We lived in our first apartment in Pell City, AL for 5 months without a couch. 
I loved the little thrift shop in downtown Pell City and visited it often,
especially after work. I found our couch for a steal- $250.
Mom came over with the truck and helped us move it the short mile to our apartment.
Here's Jeremy and our precious nephew, Boog (at 9 months old :).

Bit-Bit...that flash is bright!
Here's the couch on moving day in August 2009.
  
From there, the couch and the rest of our stuff, went into storage 
for almost two years while J was deployed and after while he was looking
for a job. Then we moved to Anniston. Here's Bina snoozing on the couch. :)
Then Tobias joined our family and he loves to lounge on the couch too! Here is with
his Daddy and Bina.


 Later, Boo-Boo joined the family and got to enjoy the couch too!
 And then Boopsie came along and snuggled up to the couch
Then we moved to Madison and our living room is huge,
but our couch was the only thing to sit on.
Reba joined our family and she got to enjoy the
couch for a couple of days before we decided she was too 
hyper to be on it...but I captured her enjoyment. :) 
 And Boopsie came to stay with us for 5 days and she enjoyed
the couch some more.
Now it's time to say goodbye to our lovely couch. :( 
We've bought new furniture and even though we want to hold
onto the first piece of furniture we bought together, we don't
have enough room for it. 
Our couch has seen many family moments, held many a babe
and puppy and been the perfect place to hang out or take a nap.
I'm really going to miss it. :(

We will NEVER forget.
God bless our troops and those who stand behind them, supporting them.
God bless our firefighters, police officers and volunteers.
Remember our Heroes today and always.

RTT: Cat crap, Homework, Justin Moore and Freaky Friday

  • Saturday, Jeremy and I went to the Lincoln County Fair in Fayetteville, TN. It was pretty cool except for the sun being in my face the whole afternoon. I rode the Sea Dragon
  •  and Jeremy rode the Free Fall thingy that takes you to the top of a pole and then drops you

















Jeremy is second from the right.
  • After Jeremy rode that thing, we got a lemonade, but it wasn't that great. The guy squeezed one lemon into some sugar water. I couldn't even drink it. Jeremy had to. Then I stood in the line for the spinning thingy that Jeremy wanted to ride. It was ridiculously scary-looking. I took a video. Try not to get too dizzy watching it! Jeremy is in the second or third seat from the left. I can't be sure now. Well...psych! I couldn't get the video to load.
  • Afterwards we walked through the fun house...it was really lame. Then we just walked around until it was almost time for the concert. Then we had some corndogs and J had some onion rings. The corndog was great.
  • My phone decided to die just a few minutes into the concert, so I only got a few crappy pics. 
You can't see his face in any of the pics I took, but the one pic I took of his equipment truck turned out great. 

  • We were freezing and since we had waited over an hour after the concert was supposed to start, we decided to leave only 45 minutes after the concert started. It was sooo cold and we were both wearing shorts and t-shirts. We walked back to the car and went to get something to eat in the town nearby. After we ate, we stopped at the Alabama/Tennessee state line to get lotto tickets. We actually won $100 on one ticket! It was great. It paid for our trip to the fair. How ridiculous are fair prices??
  • So Sunday, I had a really horrible morning. Tobias crapped in the tub even though his litterbox wasn't that dirty. (Good thing I didn't take a picture of that!) And Reba ate an entire bowl of Sabrina's food. So ridiculous since afterwards, I had to walk her like 200 times, all while trying to write an English paper that was due today. 
  • Speaking of the paper--I got a B. WTH? My teacher is way too strict with her grading. Apparently I'm too wordy or something. Hmm... 
  • Just finished watching one of my favorite movies(Uh-oh, I used a prepositional phrase...that's too wordy!)--Freaky Friday. Not the newer version with Lindsay Lohan, but the older version with Jodie Foster.
That's all the randomness I can muster this week. I have about a bajillion notes to do in math. Head on over to Stacy Uncorked to keep up with the randomness. Keely is never coming back...ever! is still on hiatus and Stacy is still holding down the fort, so to speak. Hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday!

**Random note: The women on "Say YES to the dress" are really snotty and needy! Good grief..
