Miserable
I just can’t get a handle on things. There’s so darn much to do, and I just cannot get caught up, much less get ahead. The phone rang tonight, and I answered it without looking at the caller ID, thinking it was my friend who called today in tears to tell me that her husband […]
Finally Getting Back to Normal
Basketball practise starts tomorrow, but that’s the only schedule-interrupting thing going on from now until after the new year. I”m done with tests, done with the writing job (we just couldn’t get my schedule to mesh with their needs, so they let me go), done with everything extra. Time to get the house in order […]
BEHIND!
I hate feeling like I’m so far behind I’ll never get caught up, but that’s where I am right now. Absolutely exhausted, overwhelmed, and getting close to hopeless that I’ll ever get out of it. I’ve got a certification exam in three weeks, and I just HAVE to study for it. I NEED to fold […]
Looking Forward to the Weekend
Yeah, and it’s only Monday. What can I say? It’s just that I finally start making headway on getting the house in order on weekends, only to have to stop and go to my job on Monday — the job that keeps that roof over my head. By the time the weekend rolls around again, […]
Working My Tailfeathers Off
The last week or so has been incredibly busy. Work was so busy and tense last Thursday that I went home and just cried from tiredness and tension. There was just too much to do, and too little time to do it. However, I worked hard and got a lot done, even though it wasn’t […]
Productive Weekend
I got a lot done this weekend. The kids were with their dad, so I ran errands and cleaned house. Friday night, I cleaned and mopped the kitchen. Then I watched Funny Girl. I was up until 3 a.m.! Saturday, I got up late (at 8) and ran a bunch of errands before meeting a […]
Making Progress!
It’s been kind of crazy here for the last few weeks, but I am SO happy to find that we are making progress. A large part of that progress is due to three little lists I created for my sons at the beginning of the month. The first list is a daily chore list. It’s […]
Better
Headache finally left about 4 this afternoon. Saw the chiropractor at 5:30, and I was awfully stiff. Got muscle stim and adjustment. Had a relaxed evening with mom and dad and the boys … we had supper and homemade ice cream, cleaned up, sat and talked a bit … nice and quiet. Thank goodness, tomorrow […]
Quiet Days, Quiet Nights
I’m getting a good bit done here in the house, but I’m not as far along as I’d like to be. The kids will be back in only four days. And I have a boatload of things I still need and want to do. I’m taking Friday off work, but I will only be home […]
Depressed
This is turning out to be a pretty unpleasant week. I didn’t sleep well Sunday night or Monday night … partly because it’s so very hot, and partly because the offspring keep coming in to tell me they’re having nightmares. Tomorrow I have to go to the doctor, and I know he’s going to make […]
