Sunday, January 15, 2006Kind of a Fun DayIt's been a weird day. The kids and I got up and went to church. I had to be there early because the handbell choir was demonstrating handbells for everyone... we've lost several members to age and job transfers, and we desperately need at least three more players. So we set up a table with some of... Sign in to see full entry.Saturday, January 14, 2006Too Busy TodayAugh. My day was WAY too full. The kids had basketball first thing this morning, so we were at the gym from 9 to noon. Then we came home and got lunch, and I took them to my mother's to take their rest time while I went to the memorial service for my friend's baby. The service was only half an hour...

Yesterday, for example, was insane. I got to work on time, and we decided that since the new copier just barely fit into the space that the old copier occupied, we would need to make some...

I am so ready. I need the time to get the house in order and get rested. I"m also working on my first New Years resolution... to drink at least 10 glasses of water daily. Having three...

I may cancel all my Sears accounts and never shop there again. You see, for decades, Sears has had Toughskins boys jeans. The things were virtually indestructible. They had them for boys from toddler sizes... Sign in to see full entry.Sunday, January 8, 2006Unaccountably TiredI'm very tired today. Don't know why. I went to bed rather late, but I slept until 8 this morning, so I made up for the late bedtime. I worked yesterday at cleaning house, but not unusually hard. Still, I'm very tired. I would go take a nap, but I need to clean out the fridge and cook some... Sign in to see full entry.Friday, January 6, 2006Ready for the Weekend ... I ThinkIt's been a busy week at work. It may be an ever busier weekend. I'm not sure if I'm ready for it. I'm supposed to teach at the Red Cross tomorrow. I kind of wish I hadn't signed up. What with the sorrow over my uncle's death, all the stress of this week, and being sick, I really would like to just...

And that evening I found out that my great-uncle died. Tuesday was spent trying to figure out some way that I could get to the funeral, and praying that it would be on the weekend so that there would be time to drive....

And I can't go to the funeral because it's in Florida and I'm in Tennessee, and my grandma and mom are flying and I can't afford to buy three plane tickets (me plus the two kids).There's no one to...

I got to looking at them and realized that many of them were very broad, and that I was failing to meet them because I didn't have "points" to getting to the... Sign in to see full entry. |
