STRESS!!

I'm already upset because my computer's CD drive doesn't work.

I'm also somewhat edgy because I start my "Spring Cleaning" in winter (since I can't go outside and do anything with my garden!). I decided today was a good day to empty my toilet room closet and clean it all out. That means dust and mouse "leavings" which means I can't breathe much at all and I have hives on my arms.

I already KNEW Teddy had a volcano project coming up (ya build a volcano and put crap in it so it "errupts" and the whole class "oohs" and "ahs"), but we spent a great deal of time on making Poinsettia's volcano (from last year) a permanent structure so the successive child who needed it could make any alterations they wanted and use it over and over again.

Of course, nobody thought to tell Teddy NOT to tell his teacher that was our plan

sooooooooo

tonight Teddy informed me that his teacher forbid him to use Poinsettia's and he had to build one from scratch.

DANG IT! It's due TOMORROW!!

I had all the ingredients we needed so I helped him make the dough and we slopped it on a juice bottle. It looks like absolute crap but hey, I had 12 hours notice on this. If it dries in time (it's on the oven now so the heat will help it dry) then I may paint it for him. He won't have time to do it himself. However it looks like he'll just have to take it the way it is to school tomorrow.

The worst part of all is even though I have two vehicles in my driveway neither one of them functions.

Which means I'll miss his volcano erruption.

Fail.

Today sucks!
