I kind of love being locked in. No one will bother me - not that that is a very frequent occurrence anyway, but still. I can hide and be alone and talk to no one and be an introvert.
However, I also hate being locked in. And this is mainly because I have to pee a lot in the mornings. Like a lot. Like, I could pee every 7 minutes if someone made me pee every 7 minutes because of a weird need to force someone to pee every 7 minutes.
Maybe this has something to do with the amount of coffee I drink in the mornings or the amount of children I have birthed but the problem is there no matter what the cause.
And I could interrupt the test, I really could. No one would be mad at me except probably the students who are bothered by me startling them because no one expects someone to burst out of a closet in a computer lab shouting "Oh I AM sorry! Don't mind me - I just need to pee because I've had gallons of coffee and birthed two children who destroyed my bottom half and ha-ha! You know what I'm talking about, don't you? But I'll only walk through this once, I promise, except not really because I have THE SMALLEST BLADDER IN THE WORLD."
The students tend to lose their focus when that happens.
So I hide and squirm until the last possible second because I don't want to disturb anyone or cause anyone a slight irritation.
In other, non-bladder-related news I sewed myself another Scout Tee. This one is made from polyester and is teal with maroon stars on it and really, could there be any better fabric choice?
It makes me smile.
My sewing machine decided it hated me this weekend and started breaking my needle thread and bunching up my bobbin thread and generally being an asshole. And then it stopped because I blew some dust out of the bobbin area and I patted myself on the back for being an expert sewing machine repair person. And then it started up again.
And in other-other non-bladder-related news Adele picked out her clothes this morning and insisted on dressing herself completely and actually wore the school jumper I sewed for her and even put on her shoes and had very specific ideas about how she wanted her hair fixed and ate her breakfast and brushed her own teeth and this was a definite Excellent Morning, especially after we had a ridiculous weekend full of both kids bickering and fighting and pinching and my in-laws took pity on us when we went to eat dinner with them and let the kids stay the night at their house.
Chris and I went home and watched House of Cards.
And then we picked them up on Sunday and they were still fighting and last night Sebastian pinched his sister really hard and when he was reprimanded he asked (yelled) WHY DID YOU EVEN GET ME THEN and was very upset about the fact that, as he put it, Adele used to be the one hitting and pinching and now it was him and WOE IS HE WHO IS 6 YEARS OLD AND SUPER TIRED.
And then Sebastian told me that some of our friends' kids said Adele was a jerk which is TOTALLY NOT COOL YOU LITTLE JERKS.
And then everyone was fine and we read bedtime stories and both children actually listened to me read the stories, which is rare because usually storytime is also wrestling time and Adele went to bed again without screaming and throwing things at my head as I walked down the stairs and this morning it was so hard to wake up because I didn't sleep very well and had a 4 year old in my bed laying on my chest but the she got herself ready and it made me happy and a little relieved and Sebastian got himself ready like he always does which makes mornings that much more manageable.
And we played I-Spy on the way to school like we always do and Adele picked the yellow sun like she always does and I picked the red sign like I always do and Sebastian picked the white snow like he always does and Chris picked the brown building like he always does.
