Random Thoughts for Friday the 13th:

I have been informed (Jen)that I should blog something...
"Mommy, why is it raining?" In a show of extreme self restraint (and the hope of saving on future therapy bills) I did not respond by saying, "God is crying because you won't poop on the potty." Does the act of not committing horrible parenting constitute as good parenting?
The Magic Eraser is a miracle worker. It removed the last of the blue crayon from the dryer! Woo-hoo. It is also great for removing smudges from kids tennis shoes (otherwise known as "sneakers" if you aren't in the Midwest).

So I keep taking practice tests for the SHRM Assurance of Learning test. I got a 69% in the provided SHRM practice test(70% is passing). Crap. The only other study guide I have is for the PHR and I am scoring even worse on those tests. Supposedly the SHRM test is modeled on the PHR test, but is designed for a more "entry level" person. I think the PHR only has a 50% pass rate, but still...I feel like I will be proven a fraud if I don't pass. Stressing. Me. Out. Not to mention I have that huge paper due a week from Monday. I haven't really worked on it yet since I have been preparing my lesson I have to teach this Monday and taking practice tests. I think I am going to give up on the damn practice tests, start on my paper, and just hope for the best.

Speaking of practice, we are doing a practice run at Elle's preschool this afternoon. Please God, let it go well. My Evil Mommy Plan is that she will fall in love with it and realize that pooping on the potty is the only thing standing between her and school bliss.
