The Grilled Cheese

Work was super busy. I now have my own 3D to start working so that is exciting. However, I am still training my replacement and still having to do all my old tech stuff. There have been days that I just want 5 minutes of calmness to breath!

I also got an email from the provost of the college wanting to meet with me. I added that to the daily schedule and headed to Norman at 3:15. The meeting went good. He had been hearing about numerous students having issues with Dr. Young. I told him what I had been going through and the challenges I had faced so far. He is going to talk to Dr. Young and a couple of the other geophysics professors to see how to best handle the situation. Then I was off to my meeting with Dr. Young at 4:30. 2 hours later I am finally done with him. I tried my best to stand my ground with a summer graduation, but he does not feel it will be done by then. We set a timeline and are shooting for end of August/early September to be done. I guess it is okay, but I sure wish I could enjoy some of the summer and was hoping to be done with school before my birthday. Oh well, what is another 2 months in the overall picture. There is an end and that is good. Why did I go back to school again????

Since the meeting took longer than planned, I now had no time to go home and change out of my work clothes before going to VBS. Painting in my work clothes with kindergarteners is not what I had planned. I made it through VBS with a smile on my face. I really love working with kids.

I had told Jayson earlier that I really did not want to have to deal with dinner when I got home and for him to take care of it. Well....he had been at my parents and was just now getting home. I wonder as I get out of the car what he has planned. I am starving! We go inside, nothing there. I begin to wonder as he says "how about a grilled cheese?" I am starving and was really hoping for something more than a grilled cheese. I guess I gave him an attitude about it. He gets mad and so the crazy cycle begins! He goes to take a shower and I am left fixing a dinner of grilled cheese sandwiches that I know will not fill me up because as I mentioned before, I am starving! I did not want to mess with this. I am so frustrated by this point. I get my grilled cheese and go take my bath. I go back to the clean up the kitchen and he does not even eat the sandwich I fixed for him. I feel the frustration level rise. It is now 9:30 and I try to go to bed. Well, of course I can not sleep until we get all of this worked out. 2 hours and some tears later, we kiss and make up. Now off to the sleep that I have been thinking about all day!
