Typical Tuesday

This is not really a typical Tuesday, but I wanted the title to rhyme. What can I say, my life is pretty boring at the moment. You recall in yesterday's post I mentioned Sandy and her messy room. To her credit she didn't pitch a fit over having to clean her room again. She did spend a lot of time goofing off, talking to me and tacking a poster of Orlando Bloom on her ceiling. Obstensively so she can gaze in adoration on his face before she goes to sleep. Uh huh, well I can remember being ga-ga over some movie stars when I was her age, so I will cut her some slack. She has to stay after school today to retake a test in Biology that she failed last week. She also has a test that the class normally takes on Tuesday plus she said she had to redo something else from yesterday that she didn't get done in class. I don't know when she will get this done. She also mentioned that she wants to spend some time after school in her World History to get caught up. She wanted to do that today and we said that wouldn't work with her having to retake a test. I applaud the kid's desire to keep up on her work, she just needs to plan this better. She also needs to let us know how she will be letting us know when she is done. She didn't have a clue as to when she would be done taking her test and she didn't know if she would have access to a phone.

Sandy has been bugging us the past few weeks. It seems her Biology class has two baby guinea pigs and the teacher has thrown it out to the class that if anyone wants one all they have to do is take them at the end of the year. We told her we would think and talk about it. Well it seems like once a week she asks if we have talked about it. To be honest we haven't talked about it at all. I figured that if I waited long enough she would loose interest. No such luck. I have a lot of reservations on getting this rodent. First and foremost is that we have cats. One of these cats is a kitten. Put two and two together. Second is room. She wants to keep the pig in her room and the way her room is now there is no room at the inn. Sorry bad joke. Anyway she brought it up again last night while I was building a fire in our fireplace (I just love that fireplace). I pointed out the responsibilities of having an animal and what she would have to do to prove that she is mature and responsible. I like guinea pigs but I just don't know how well this little critter will fit in right now. And on a side note, Tara wants a fish tank in her room. The Bacon household is turning into a regular zoo.

Tomorrow I am going to get my first mammogram done. On the one hand I want to get it out of the way. I can't get a breast reduction until I get one and I do need a baseline seeing as I am of "that age". But I don't look forward to getting my boobs squished and I imagine I will be pretty grouchy when I get home. I will let you know how that goes tomorrow.
