Teenagers, aren't they cute ;)

I had to laugh today as I was browsing through Facebook.  I have a couple of Ellen's friends as my friends (truly not sure how that happened, or maybe we are not friends, but their posts show on my feed.)  ANYWAY, one of them (who is notorious for being kind of lazy, selfish and immature) is whining about her college professor here at the local community college calling her out in class for not being there.  This gal is whining about how hard her life is, she has SSOOOOOOO much going on, and can't the professor understand that????  I can only laugh at the fact that the younger person who has a part-time job, classes, and, um yeah, that's it, is complaining to a grown-up who presumably has a household to maintain, family to take care of (cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc.), her teaching job and maybe another job.  Gee, who is the busier of the two????  Not the whiner!  Her whole post just screams "Immature."

The other part that was interesting was all the friends of hers chiming in to complain about their college attendance policies.  The mom in me wanted to post something like "Hey kids, college is your job right now, it's your biggest responsibility.  If you can't make it to class 2 or 3 times a week, then you have a serious problem!  A few of you have part-time jobs, but these are not jobs that have you bringing home work, so for the most part, you have maybe 15 - 20 hours of work a week and 4 or 5 classes.  That's not overwhelming.  So quit whining, get your homework done so you are prepared for class, and get your bahooky to class!!"  Of course, I just kept scrolling instead of commenting.  Probably for the best ;)

I did have a customer come to the house for an intake appointment and bring FIVE quilts last night - hurray!  Marci helped me with folding and unfolding and that made the appointment go quickly.  Of course, making the appointment go quickly was her point because the boyfriend was playing softball at 7pm.  We made it there during the second inning.  They lost in a landslide - 16 to 4, ugh.  So we text his mom and got permission to take him out to Taco Bell for a consolation snack and some visiting time before we drove him home.  It was a nice visit too.  Since Marci didn't have school in the morning (fall break) I wasn't worried about keeping her out too late, and we got him home around 9:30pm.  Then, best of all, I actually got a good night's sleep!  I *think* the dog got me up to take her potty at some point around midnight maybe, but I don't remember for sure, LOL.  It's been a week or so since I had a really good night of sleep, so it was appreciated, that's for sure!

Having an easy day at work, and getting ready to work on our house finances for a bit.  My bills are strewn all around the van right now from the bill binder spilling it's unzipped guts ;)  So getting this under control today will be a big job :)
