Thursday Thirteen #35



Here are Thirteen Things that are making me question my sanity (and or the sanity of others):

1. I just gave my daughter $4.00 in change to buy a book at her book fair. Mostly nickles. Is that so wrong?

2. My daughter and I spent over an hour and a half the other day driving around to at least 5 different stores  -  looking for a "baby" Zhu Zhu pet. Everywhere is out of stock right now.


3. Against my better judgment we are getting closer to getting a puppy. My husband knows someone, who knows someone, whose dog is pregnant right now. So we may be able to get one of the puppies.

4. I spend way to much time on line. Between blogs and Entrecard. And Facebook. I don't know if that is helping keep my sanity or make me insane?

5. I am doing Harriet's Comment Challenge again. I haven't done one in almost 9 months. I'm trying to make 1000 comments on other people's blogs in a month. I'm up to 177 (as you can see up top on my ticker).

6. I've been looking for a part time job. So far no luck. One emailed back and wanted me to come in for an interview. Only problem it was in Alabama & I live in New Hampshire!

7. Even if I get a job, I will either have to work nights or take the bus. Which doesn't sound to fun.  That is because we only have one car available right now (long story).

8. I just found out yesterday, that what they call at my daughter's school "The Ed Fair" is tonight. Whatever happened to advance notice?

9. Thursdays is the day my daughter has dance class though, so I basically have about a 15 min. time period where I have to run around her school to go to this fair.

10. Speaking of the dance class, I found out that the recital was moved to a different location and a week earlier then it was before.

11. My sister usually comes with her boyfriend. But we looked on the calender and it will now be on Father's Day! It doesn't really matter to me. But her boyfriend won't come on Father's day. Seems weird to schedule the recital for that day.

12. If you read these two posts Here & Here you would know about a bird I found in my neighbors yard about a week ago. Turns out it was a $600 bird someone lost. I wish I had caught it!

Pic. of bird again:

13. I just spent 3 hours writting this post! Enough said. Now I'm off to visit others - so I can reach my 1000 comment goal.

  2. Good luck with the comment challenge.
    I remember the days of driving around everywhere looking for those stupid beanie babies. Now what do we do with them?

    Have a great day!

  4. This post made me spit a mouthful of coke all over my desk. This is hilarious. I love the comment about the part-time job....lol You are too funny! I hope you make your goal. Have a great day and don't worry about what you sent in for the book fair....they take pennies, nickels and dimes...trust me....I have been in education for 34 years.

  5. Great list! I am with you on almost all of them - especially being online too much!

    Have a great day!

  7. 1. LOL that sounds like me. No, it's not wrong and hey they miht think she used her piggy bank money!

    2 Those little pets are just too silly my cousin has one and now has hair on the bottom since it was on and she put it on her hed she even had my son do it also and out came his hair!

    3When I was little I loved having dogs but now that I'm older. I just don't have the patience as soon as the puppy goes a few times in the house I'm getting rid of it. If they were potty trained and didn't shed I would be all for one! I know I sound horrible...LOL my mom rubbed off on me!

    4 I deleted my facebook about a week ago!

  11. If you caught the bird you might not need a part time job as much. I ask myself the same thing about Facebook, and blogging too for that matter.

  12. Okay, I get this is a WONDERFUL post (and a beautiful bird) and I am hoping that it took you three hours because kids wouldn't leave you alone, right?

  14. Fun post--lots of little insights into your world. I know how online time can suck into your day... I have to just shut the computer down and walk away if I want to get anything productive done... which is what I'll do after browsing a few more Thursday13s!

    Happy TT!

  15. Have you checked on line for the Zhu Zhu pets? Walmart says they have them online.

    I was pleased to see a NH connection. I was born in Tilton, NH and still have family in the Manchester area.

    Good luck with your comments.

  18. I always think my blogging and internet time is going to be relaxing but I never get everything done I want to and then I get irritated. So I'm with you there.

    I can't believe that bird cost $600! It sure is pretty though.

  20. I've so far managed to avoid facebook. I have enough trouble keeping up with everything as it is. You're welcome to post on my blog any time. I may not post every day, but I do try for at least 3-4 times a week, even if all I post is a photo.

  21. recital on father's day? that is so not what dad's want to do on their day of tribute. crazy, but at least you have a little bit of warning - unlike with the ed-fair.

    hope all went well juggling dance and the fair.

  22. First I thought ....1000 comments that's a lot, but then I realized I do minimum 40 every single day so that's 1200 per month.

    OMG, how do we find the time to do anything else,lol?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Yep, I spend far too much time online. I periodically move my computer to try to do something about it. I'm trying to comment more rather than luck, thanks for that link.

  24. Wow that is alot of moola for a bird! I wouldn't mind being paid the finders fee at all!

    I hope you can find a job that fits in your family schedule. Iknow how hard that is.

    Here's to hoping you'll have a calm weekend!

    Aloha!

  25. Since you are still questioning your sanity you haven't lost it all but I can see why you would wonder.

  26. #4 - the very same things you enumerated keep me sane or off unplanned shopping.
