Severe Boredom

As it is the last day of school and few students attend, I have literally almost nothing to do today. So, I figured I would alleviate my boredom, for a few minutes at least, by completing the "Fivers" that the rest of the world did a week or so ago...

What were you doing 5 years ago?
Alicia and I were still in New Hampshire. I was finishing up the never-ending school year (still had about 3 weeks or so to go). I had just turned 25 and was having a crisis about it, which is so funny now that I have sucessfully maneuvered the big 3-0. The "room" that I had been teaching in was being destroyed so I was letting my kids draw all over the walls. By the time that school was over the room was completely gone, as if I had never been there. It was a little sad. But, the next month before I moved back (leaving Alicia and the broken cat to finish her grad classes in NH) was one of the best times I have ever had. Just as a little addendum to this section ....I miss the Dover Delight and being able to just drive to the ocean whenever wanted.

What are 5 things on your "to-do" list for today?
Well, there isn't much really (which is wonderful!)
1. Track down my academic dean and get her to sign this stupid piece of paper so that I can leave school (It's gonna involve several flights of stairs and I am soooo lazy!)
2. Give up my computer :( I will be procrastinating that until the VERY end of the school day!
3. Move my copier and other miscellaneous things from my office
4. TRY to figure out how to deal with this long-term sub thing in the fall
5. Have an end of the year celebration with Amy, Ben, Bryn and Shay.

What are 5 snacks you enjoy?
mmmmmm..... I do love a good snack.

1. Chips and "with cheese"
2. Anything chocolate
3. Cereal (yeah, I know that's a little weird, but don't judge!) :)
4. Cookies and milk. (This is a really healthy list so far......)
5. Ice cream!!!!! I love ice cream!!!!!!

What are 5 things you would do if you were a billionaire?

1. Quit my job WITHOUT financial worries so that one of us can stay home and raise the baby (ies.)
2. Buy the rest (or at least a decent supply) of our favorite donor so our kids can all be full siblings.
3. Pay off my family's (and our) debt.
4. Take fun trips with my friends and family
5. Something philanthropic that would take the "good" kids out of the ghetto and give them a chance to succeed, because I feel like the system eats these kids and doesn't even give them a chance. I haven't worked it all out yet.

What are 5 of your bad habits?
1. Leaving my shoes all over the house
2. Procrastinating (especially household chores)
3. Not putting the laundry away the day it's done (see number 2)
4. Leaving the cupboard doors open
5. Not replacing the toilet paper

What are 5 places you have lived?
1. Florida - West Palm Beach
2. Ohio - Dayton
3. Michigan - Pontiac, 4 houses in Brighton
4. Alabama - Athens
5. Indiana - Indianapolis (multiple apartments), Butler and our current house
6. New Hampshire - Dover

So, that one has 6, but I didn't want to leave just one place out......

What are 5 jobs you have had?
1. Uber's Drugs - Cashier and Pharmacy assistant
2. Turkey Run Jr/Sr High band and choir director
3. Winnisquam Regional High School band and choir director
4. Northridge Middle School and North Montgomery High school band director
5. Manual High School Band director

What 5 people do you want to "tag?"
Since I am the last human on the face of the earth to do this, I'm going to say no one. I've already stalked everyone else's answers!

It's better to be bored than stressed, right? Can't wait to hang out tonight and celebrate summer!
