The Week Is Nearly Over … and so Is the Year
This is the last work-day of 2004. Our office is closed tomorrow to observe our New Year’s Day holiday. I have a lot to do today at the office, and there is the office holiday party that was held over from last week. It’s going to be a busy day. But then I have a […]
Shaping Up for a Busy Weekend
Everything happens at once. LOL. Tomorrow morning, my son has a basketball game. I have to have him at the gym by 9:45 a.m. I have Messiah rehearsal at 1:00 p.m. at church. I have to drop the kids off at mom’s afterward, and then make my way to my brother’s house for a Christmas […]
Thinking About All That I Do….
One of my readers who uses my blog seeds to good advantage asked in a comment on one of the daily seeds if I ever got around to reading the plantings that were inspired by one or more of the seeds I offered. As I responded to the query, I was struck by how very […]
Fear and Trembling
I nearly had a heart-attack yesterday when I thought I’d lost the check from my Christmas Club account! I was at work when I first missed it, and, after tearing up my briefcase and my purse looking for it (unsuccessfully), I was in a panic until quitting time, when I could go home and look for […]
A Very Strange Weekend
I had great plans for this weekend, but I was just unable to get myself going on them. I had planned to tidy up and mow the yard, finish up the laundry and ironing, clean up the rooms, and get some filing done. Couldn’t get into it. I was too distracted. So I ended up […]
A Busy, Busy Week
I’ll be posting sporadically this week, as the schedule is so full. I have work every day, of course, and rehearsals for the Broadway revue every night. My mom is keeping the kids all day (from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.), and I run in and out at lunch- and supper-time to kiss the boys […]
My First Weekend as a Single
It may sound strange, but this past weekend was my first weekend as a single since my divorce three and a half years ago. The ex finally got his dearest wish and got the supervision clause stricken from the visitation schedule. So the kids left my house at 8 on Saturday morning and didn’t come […]
Mama Told Me There’d Be Days Like This…..
Actually, the morning started off quite well. I didn’t sleep entirely comfortably, owing to the sunburn on my shoulders and halfway down the back of my arms, which made it necessary for me to sleep on my stomach; still, I did manage to get about six hours of uninterrupted sleep after soaking for an hour […]
Hanging On by my Fingernails
I did not want to come to work today. I still don’t feel entirely well, my neighbour has disturbed my wa, and I am fatigued beyond belief. Also, I have a blood-blister on my thumb that makes typing rather unpleasant. But duty trumps desire—I must be at church tonight, as I have the movies and […]
Mother’s Day Weekend for a Single Mom
Well, this was Mother’s Day weekend. So what did this single mom do? Not a lot by way of celebration. Yesterday (Saturday) we got up and had breakfast and then went outside. I weeded the “woodland garden” and the north fence-line, and then planted four o’clocks and mixed morning glory seeds that I sprouted on Thursday […]
