10 on Friday

I"m waiting for pictures to upload to various sites and therefore have some time on my hands!
So here it goes:

1. I officially finished work this past Tuesday.  I didn't work for as long as I wanted, nor did I score as many papers as I wanted, but finished and got a promotion as well.  I was selected to essentially be a tie breaker.  When two scorers scored a paper with different scores, the paper came to me.  Pretty cool, but also a little scary...I mean these are GRADES. Alas.  As it did last year, this project made me a little sad. But that's another story...
2. Elijah has kindergarten orientation next week.  I can't believe that he is old enough to go to kindergarten.  If I think about it too much I get all teary eyed.  So moving on.
3. Jerry goes to MBA orientation tomorrow. This includes a professional head shot AND a ropes course. I personally think that to add a little challenge they should make the students do the ropes course in their business casual outfits.  hehehehehe.
4. Tomorrow is also free comic book day.  Elijah is super excited.  Hence Grace is super excited.  Heh. Since we have to drop Jerry off early, we will get to the comic shop early.  I'm hoping the crowds aren't too bad.  I want Elijah to have fun and to be able to wrangle Grace without too much concern for either of them.
5. We have found that driving at night, for at least part of the trip makes life easier for us!  The kids sack out and we get to drive in peace and quiet.  Also, for the most part, the traffic is way lighter!
6. Tonight while unbuckling Grace my fingernail bent and cut into the skin behind it.  It freakin' hurts!!!  STILL!
7. I am attempting the Couch to 5K, 9 week training thingy.  It's going to be interesting.  I don't run.  If there is not a bear, large dog, or small child chasing me, I do.not. run.  But I feel like I am at a stand still with the weight thing.  So, I figure, three days a week, I can get up early and do this.  I can do weight training on the off days.  Really... I can do it.  right?
8. Elijah's class did a Mother's Day tea this morning.  And seriously, super sweet.
9. It was cold for two days this week.  I was not happy about this.  Once the degrees are on the 70s.... so they should stay.
10. I"m tired.  So that's all I'm writing tonight.  I know.  But at least I posted something...heh.
