How Consistent Can You Get?

So, how consistent is my luck? Three restroom breaks on the way home, three times i pick the stall with no toilet paper.

Anyway, we didn't kill ourselves packing, we didn't kill ourselves to rush home, and i didn't kill myself to clean up the mess i found when i got home. It was mostly a few dishes and all the stuff we had brought back needing to be put away.

Teresa had a great time, and i was very sorry to have to take her back home.

Bigger Girl and Sweetie made themselves crazy trying to get her to the test that morning, but that is usual, he panics at such things. She thinks she did well on the parts she had time to complete, and we'll know soon enough.
