If you follow a lot of blogs you know there are many different activities on Wednesday (I guess Wednesday is just considered a boring day). There are things like Wordless Wednesday, which implies I could actually be wordless (although that might be a nice break for those around me). This led to Wordful Wednesday, which implies I will have a lot to say about a single photo. None of these gave me a warm fuzzy feeling so I never participated. Then the ladies over at Blue Monkey Butt developed a theme that was all about bitching. Finally, something I could get into. So I tried it last week. And the response was overwhelmingly positive (OK, maybe it was lukewarm, but I choose to think positively). So welcome to What the Hell Wednesday. These are things that I really can’t believe are happening around me. Yesterday, I wished everyone a Happy Thursday. WTH? Apparently I was lost due to the time change (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it). Only one person pointed out that I was an idiot (I am not saying no one else noticed, but…). Thank you, Jen for noticing and pointing it out so politely. I could have said it was a test to see if people pay attention, but it was really just a mistake. I have been very distracted with the whole car dying and having to chauffeur Small Town Daddy all over town. Speaking of Small Town Daddy, why do I have to drive him everywhere? WTH? Can’t he walk. Isn’t that why God gave him legs? It’s only 10 miles to the train station, buddy, start walking. I will even get him a glow-in-the-dark jacket so no one runs over him in the dark. Libby is in middle school this year and I think the school is purposely trying to confuse me. WTH? First of all, they work on some bizarre schedule reflecting A-F days so the schedule is different every day and every week. Try to keep track of which days your kid should bring her trumpet to school (I can’t even try). This week and next, her school has parent-teacher conferences which means the kids get out early a couple of days each week. This week it is Wednesday and Thursday, next week is Tuesday and Thursday. Is it my imagination or does this sound unnecessarily complicated? I certainly can’t keep track of it. I have put everything on my calendar and will just hope I don’t leave her sitting on the front stoop. I keep getting emails telling me that someone is flirting with me. WTH? First of all, I am a little old for Internet flirting. Second of all, is it really flirting if I need an email to let me know. Third of all, what is Small Town Daddy going to say (He will probably ask if I will give that person a ride without bitching incessantly). I think that is probably all I have to complain about this fine morning. I am sure I could think of more, but do you really want to hear it? So, Happy Friday Wednesday and let me know what is bothering you today.

I hear ya with the school crap. I only have one in school right now and it’s only first grade but I had to get a giant calendar to make wure I didn’t forget anything important. I just need to do a better job of looking at the calendar…WTH?
Have a great (whatever)day you want it to be:)
LOL my sides hurt. My husband works only three miles from home, and I asked him to ride his shiny new expensive riding lawn mower to work. He did not think I was funny. Funny I did. You don’t want to know what irritates me, I could probably write a novel.
I get the school crap too. Jr. Hi was easy. My dd is a freshman and on Monday has all classes. She has no locker so has to haul two backpacks to EVERY class. T and TH are Green days with alternating odd classes. W and F are Gold days with alternating even classes. I’m glad she is organized enough to get her stuff together the night before. I still can’t follow her schedule.
Our school is having conferences this week too. Its so annoying. My 2 kindergarteners only go to school for an hour and fifteen minutes… whats the point???
Thanks so much for joining us for What the Hell Wednesday! Now don’t you feel better? It’s good to bitch! That’s what Elle and I do daily, it’s like therapy but a hell of a lot cheaper! We have Parent Teacher conferences Thursday and Friday this week! I don’t know why they can’t have them in October, instead of a month that has a ton of days off!
Your daughter’s schedule sounds like the one at the school I used to teach at. We had periods A-D in the morning, and E-H in the afternoon, but each day only had 3 periods in the am and 3 in the pm, so on an “A” day it would be A-B-C, then in the afternoon E-F-G. On a “C” day it would be C-D-A and the afternoon would be G-H-E. VERY confusing. PLUS, (to make matters worse), lunch was scheduled by calling each week either X, Y, or Z. in an X week, X lunch ate first, Y lunch ate split in the middle of the first afternoon class, and Z ate at the end of the first afternoon class. In a Y week, Y would go first and so on. You knew (???) which lunch to go to by what class you had first in the afternoon and all the classes were assigned a type of lunch. Like, all math classes were Y lunch, all English were X lunch, all foreign language were Z lunch and so on.
I think I just gave myself a headache writing all that out.
By the way, I never did figure out the lunch thing. I always was just ready to teach class then I waited for students to show up. If no one came to class, I figured, Well, it must be first lunch today!
I am so glad I don’t have kids in school any more.
So here’s what bothers me, When husband and wife both work all day, both come home tired after a long day why is it that his tired is bigger than her tired. I’ve been married twice and both times they seem to think that what I do is no where near as strenuous as what they do. GEESH What the hell
The school is definitely odd.
As for Small Town Daddy, why not a bicycle? Ten miles goes fast on a bike.
In my defense I did notice the Happy Thursday but since it was RTT I just thought you were being Random.
Middle school schedule is confusing. Like middle school isn’t confusing enough. Sissy is my third middle schooler and I don’t even pretend to understand it yet.
Oh, I love the ride-on mower idea! See if Small Town Daddy will do that!
At least you get emails that someone is flirting with you. I just get emails telling me how to whiten my teeth and how to get rid of cellulite
Thanks for playing!
Seriously, that was my best laugh all day. My kid’s middle school did that one year. I nearly lost my mind. Seriously. WTH were they thinking? Even the teacher’s were confused.
WTH, it’s not Thursday?
Damn.
I need to straighten out my calendar.
If yesterday had been Thursday, tomorrow would be Saturday. I like this idea better then waiting two more days for a day off. I say we move the week ahead. Who’s with me?
HA! I like WTH Wednesday. Wait. Today is Thursday, right? Oh, I see. I’m late. WTH???
I never know what day it is so I’m surprised I caught it, but it really confused me and since I was a psych major in college we used to rig up tests just like that to mess with people. Which is why I did absolutely nothing with that degree. What day is it? We’re having conferences too, I can’t tell you how much I hate them. The scheduling sounds like something I had in high school, Modular Scheduling in 15 minute blocks. I know it doesn’t really seem the same but it was confusing. Don’t even get me started on homework for kindergartners and first graders. I graduated, I don’t have to do anymore homework and yet I get 1/2 hour each night. My daughter comes home and says “mom, you have homework tonight!” I hate her teacher.
Our middle school has wacky scheduling too. They’ve actually gotten better this year, last year they had odd and even days, except the periods would rotate every other day, then there were early release days, and so on and so forth. I don’t know why they just stick to the six periods a day, every day, the end.
I agree, flirting is not possible if you’re being email notified. Small Town Daddy is safe.
We’ve had some crazy school schedules too. Plus, it seems like the kids have way too much time off. Between half days and days off, it seems like there are more partial weeks than full weeks. Not to say that I don’t love having my kids around, but they’re more appealing after a full day of school than after a half day.
I love that you are willing to have hubby glow in the dark! LoL
So you don’t want me to flirt with you through email? Dammit!
Shoot, I meant to write WTH? You know, just to be cute. So you’d be more receptive to my flirtatious emails…mwahaahha.
lol….is a crazy school…hahahahaha
I get confused with Princess Nagger’s school stuff, too. I was spoiled last year, her kindergarten teacher always had a monthly calendar attached to the folder for homework and stuff – and it always had which ‘day’ it was since they’re on 6-day cycles. I can never remember which day it is, and have forgotten to round up her library books for library day. I’m sure it’s only going to get worse. WTH!
I love that you offered to buy your hubby a glow-in-the-dark jacket if he’d walk that 10 miles.
Anne, I have given you an award, at my homeschool blog
Libby’s MS schedule seems to be confusing, I believe it is not only you, since it seems there is no routine with schedules and meetings. maybe the positive side to it is that you won’t have them often.
I remember my school did A&B days which was confusing. . .doing A-F sounds incredibly so- wow! Good luck with the parent-teacher conferences! And thanks for the comment on my post about PB – I love the idea about cream cheese and jelly, much safer!
