Good Monday Morning!
August 18th, 2008 by Cass -- Posted in ChitChat |Well, good morning! I know your kids are all off to school, and you are enjoying your first day of freedom in FIVE WHOLE YEARS. I am glad that you get to spend at least part of it with Tom.
I’m enjoying some freedom, too, but mine is different. Today I am free in the sure and certain knowledge that I must work. Everyday, except one per week. The tasks will be different, and I have to relax and deal with that, but there is always the work. Yeah, that is freeing, even though it may not seems like it.
This morning, I have laid out my book through the 29th, and I have read a chapter of Proverbs. Dh and the older girls are off to the hospital for blood draw and xrays. He didn’t have calls this morning, so he said he would take them. That was good, because Mama called and will be here this afternoon with beans. That means, I need to hurry up and get my cleaning and schooling done, because I will be tied up this afternoon.
And then there is practice tonight.
I did not pack up Belle’s blanket. I don’t have the money to mail it today, I do have more yarn to put in it, so it just makes sense to keep on stitching!
Ok, that about wraps it up from here, I think. Get chatty when you can, becasue the likelihood is that we will miss one another on IM for most of the day.

Yes, there were tears this morning. But in the end it was okay. And its been 14 years since I have not had some little person depending on me at home. I went with Tom today. I have never been able to do that unless we took Melina. And that meant she sat in the front and I had to sit in the bunk. It was so nice to sit in the seat beside Tom and have real conversation. And I knitted on my forever blanket a lot. Also we picked up an incubator from one of the other drivers today. I am hoping to put it to use in the morning. I have to stabilize the temperature and humidity first.
Tomorrow I will start in on some sort of a schedule. I am not sure what exactly. I will probably start with the schedule I used last school year and go from there.
There is no rush on mailing Belle’s blanket. Whenever you can is soon enough.
