So I LOVE CS Lewis. For some reason his stuff just sticks with me. I saw a new quote today that I had to share.
"Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny" - C.S. Lewis
Not only only have I had hardships but this week has well... sucked. I have spent most of the week attempting to pull my RAs out of their rut. But in reality, it just sucks the joy out of me. I truly believe that the most important part of my job is working with my RAs but I really hate to hand hold people.
Which brings me to my mother. My mother was all about the underdog. She loved to help people become better. It was one of her best and worst qualities. Mostly because some times she got used. It hurt to watch my mom give her everything to someone and then they treat her like shit. For example, there was this one girl that my mom had in her Girl Scout troop - they eventually started a new troop together. My mom ran that shit! The moment mom got sick, the girl dipped out. Needless to sayyyyy, I am not a fan.
I think in a way, all of us inherited this to a point... some of us worse then other. But today I just don't have it in me. I think it is an early to bed night.... plus Orientation is tomorrow so I need to be in my best mood (or best faking it mood). :]
Peace, love and goood night!

It's HOOOOOOOTT in Topeka
Isn't it crazy how the simplest things bring back the best memories. Here is one good one.
Have you ever seen Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends? It use to be on Cartoon Network. If not, you should! Mom and I used to watch it together - and not when I was little. Well, they just added it to Netflix! We had a favorite episode. Here it is:

In this episode, Bloo (the main character) ends up home alone. This is something that has never happened. So Bloo takes the time to enjoy himself... but then he gets bored. So he decides to watch TV. That is where this scene is. Bloo is so bored he begins to repeat "It's hot in Topeka" over and over again.
After watching this, Mom and I started repeating it over and over again just like in the scene. When I was moving to Colorado and we got close to Topeka, I actual called Mom and told her it was HOT in TO-PEEEE-KA. Dad thought we were so annoying but he dealt.
I miss the good times. At least this is a happy memory!
BUT SERIOUSLY - watch the link!
