Can't Wait for Friday!
It's only Wednesday, and I have only today and tomorrow and then I'm off for a three-day weekend. Thank goodness! I am ZONKED! It's been a hell of a week at the office, because my friend and coworker turned in her notice last Friday, and they had her clean out her desk and go on. She's in a...

What a Wacky Weekend
Last weekend was SO weird. My mom and I sold curriculum at the local homeschool fair, which we've done every year for six or seven years now. We usually have an easy time, talking, selling, explaining, and meeting people. This year, though, we kept having bad scares. Scare One: We had our first...

Getting Back to Routine
Sort of. After working a two-day week last week, I will be working a four-day week this week. (At my regular job, that is.) Of course, I was busy on my off days last week, attending the conference. This Friday and Saturday, I will be at a homeschool conference demonstrating curriculum. So it'll be...

I Won an "Oscar"!
I spent the weekend at a conference held by the Tennessee Division of the International Association of Administrative Professionals. I had a lot of fun, and I won an "Oscar" while there. While the conference is primarily a time for attending educational seminars and conducting IAAP business, there...

Visitation Can Be Complicated
You'd think it'd be simple: each of us has the kids on alternate weekends. But then there are holidays that crop up, and sometimes work responsibilities. June is a mess for us. Originally, I had them on Father's Day weekend, and he had them on my birthday weekend. So we'd planned to just swap those...

ITCH!
For several weeks now, my shoulder blade has itched. Only the right one, and only in one certain spot. It's maddening. It's in a spot I can't reach (of course), so I have to have a back-scratching implement with me at all times. I carry a bamboo one in my briefcase, so I have it at work or home. For...

BURNED!
Yeah, I got totally baked this afternoon. Number one son had a baseball game today, but it was in the early afternoon (2 p.m.) rather than mid-morning, as we are accustomed to. I had errands to run this morning, so I left the kids with my parents and breezed back home just in time to pick them up...

Still going!
We've finished laying tile, and now we need to grout it. But we can't do that yet, because the floor refinishers started yesterday. They ground down the floor to bare wood -- it's a beautiful oak parquet -- and they are going to stain it a rich, dark brown called "Spice." Then they have to let the...

Busy....
We've been very busy this past week, as evidenced by the fact that I haven't posted in 8 days! We've begun laying tile in the bathrooms of our house, which is fun but labour-intensive. We also painted the insides of the kitchen cabinets --- a sunshiny yellow a little more intense than the kitchen...

Restful Day
Today was very quiet and restful. I woke up tired and sore, and with a sore throat, so we didn't go to church. I want to make sure that Lobster Boy is completely free from Scarlet Fever before we get up close and personal with folks again anyway. So we puttered around the house all morning, eating...
