Wednesday, October 12, 2005He Won! He Won!I nominated my boss for an award given annually by my local chapter of the IAAP (International Association of Administrative Professionals): the Executive of the Year. The nomination consisted of a letter describing why I thought my boss deserved to be "Exec of the Year," explaining how he fit into...

Now, I homeschool, so I can adjust my kids' schedules to fit in with what we want to add in the fall. But what about the government-schooled kid who can't do that? Our church has very little by way of structured programming...

Minor parts, but parts, nonetheless. So why does it still hurt so much to be proven right? On Saturday, the kids had a soccer game. Way back when the game schedule was first given out, I took my copy,... Sign in to see full entry.Sunday, October 9, 2005ProgressI'm seeing light at the end of the clothing tunnel. I've gotten all of the laundry washed, dried, folded, and put away, and now I'm working on the ironing. I had hired someone to do it, and given it all to her. I remembered to ask her about pets, and she didn't have any. But I forgot to ask about... Sign in to see full entry.Friday, October 7, 2005Accomplishing StuffWorking on the clothes. The kids decided that they wanted to watch The Incredibles, so we did that, and then I tucked them into bed. Now I'm finishing up a few little things before I tuck myself into bed. Including a bowl of chocolate ice cream. I need to finish cleaning the kitchen. I'm not going...

The kids are still getting over the stomach virus. I'm still recovering from the stress of the weeks leading up to the court appearance. So we are going to take the evening off. The kids and I have decided that... Sign in to see full entry.Wednesday, October 5, 2005Court Is Over, and All Is WellCourt went fine today, for all that I was in knots about it. It just stresses me out going to court, even if I know I'm not in trouble. Silly me. My lawyer, his lawyer, and the judge disappeared into the judge's chambers for about half an hour, and when they came out, my lawyer was beaming like the...

She'll be available by telephone if the judge wants to speak with her tomorrow. Talked with my lawyer, and he says to relax. Hah! I'm not worried about the outcome, it's just the whole stress of having to go... Sign in to see full entry.Monday, October 3, 2005Counting PenniesWell, quarters and dimes, anyway. I'm a little short on cash at the moment, and I don't want to take anything out of the bank at this time. So I'm counting out the change in my dimes and quarters bank. There's more than $80 in there, which will easily see me through until payday. I just hope the...

So he's playing at "couch potato" the last few days. I, on the other hand, have been working my tail off. Yesterday morning, the older boy had a soccer... Sign in to see full entry. |
