Jack's grip never loosens

Please be aware that if you betray Jack, his grip never loosens and the feeling of doom becomes more and more relevant. Helping your family does not constitute a good enough excuse to be exempt from his wrath.

For those of you linking from E.T.1 (aka myspace), let me update you on the car chronicles:
As of 5 pm, Kevin has worked on my car all day. The crankshaft (not crookshank, Hermione) sensor is a plug, located adjacent to the engine in a tricksey position. He has the new part, it was just a matter of getting the old, broken one out in one piece. Well, after a day's work, he has to drop my oil pan. Included in this is a new gasket and oil. By the end of the day tomorrow, and assuming this fixes the problem, I should have my car back tomorrow. A new name is under consideration...probably something to do with Jack Bauer. Suggestions are always welcome.

I take back my comment about calling third graders cute and sweet. They are loud and bad. I have a headache. And I am punishing myself by teaching the same grade (albeit in a different school)tomorrow. Hopefully having the kids a full day will be better, since they will be under my direction from the beginning of the day, not just after lunch.

Food, Potter, Bed. This is the routine I have planned for this evening. I haven't been home on a Tuesday night in so long, I almost don't know what to do with myself. Almost. ; )

Auf Wiedersehen
