I swear I love that sound. I didn’t even mind that the phone rang at 7:30 on a Saturday morning!

Oooh, lookie, it’s FRIDAY

WoohooSorry I pretty much abandoned you this week. It’s been a roller coaster ride around here! Just so much stuff going on. But Ang.! I made jewelry yesterday, 12 pieces. Some amazing stuff. And that’s in addition to some stuff I made Wednesday night, and also stuff I had made and not posted about yet. Next Wednesday’s beading report is going to be HUGE. I’ll probably continue to go over to Mama’s when she’s off and bead, at least until dh finds work. I told you about our plans to do the festival and the flea market, right?

Ok, what’s on for today? I need dh to go to town and order the AngelFood and return his parts. While he is gone, I will make the grocery list and work on the house. I also need to make lesson plans for my students. I’m going to start doing those as google docs, so I don’t have to keep reinventing the wheel. When the next student get’s there I can just tweak it for them and print it again.

Also, I need to blog. We’ll see if promises are kept, but if they are, I’ll be reopening those blogs I had decided to let go. I just can’t afford to turn down any work at all right now.

Camel Day

Not much to report. Just a day filled with work. Bleh.

    Clean off desk
    Dishes
    Sort apples
    Clear off kitchen table
    Wipe down counters
    Wipe down appliances
    Sweep floor
    Mop floor
    Fold laundry

I think I am set up for failure today. I will get done as much as I can and that is all I can do. I am going to use the 15 minute timer today so I don’t get burnt out. Oh, and I have a ton of blogging to do, too.

Tuesday…Yep, That it Is!

Karly is home sick today. Same stuff Melina had. It is a dreary, wet day so I guess its a good day to be sick. I am missing bible study, however.

Today’s list,

    Sort through box
    Clean off desk
    Clean bathroom fixtures
    Wipe down bathroom walls and ceiling
    Clean bathroom cabinets
    Wash bathroom window
    Mop bathroom floor

Jasmine has another game tonight. It is against Carthage and they are THE team to beat. Tom can’t go because of his meeting. So I will go and leave Clint here to babysit. I hate that because I was planning on all of us going. Clint really wants to see this game but there is just no way around it. It is times like these that I hate not having a grandparent nearby that could step in somehow. YK? Okay, time to get up and start working. Hopefully we will connect at lunch time.

Laundry

Monday, Monday

I know I use that title almost every week. It happens to be because I am usually singing it in my head when I come here on Mondays. So far this morning, I have done a little blogging, fixed dh’s lunch, and had a cheese stick for breakfast. The kid’s had left over blueberry cobbler for breakfast. Also, I put DaBaby back to bed for whining/screaming. That crap has got to stop. Just can’t take it anymore.

I’ve been awake off and on since around 5. Well actually, I didn’t sleep well all night, because my shoulders are hurting. My mom recommended some stuff that has really helped her joints, and I’ll be getting some as soon as I can liberate the dollars. Speaking of dollars, as I was awake this morning, I was praying specifically or financial blessing. We are just about at an impasse here, and I have had all the stress I think I can handle. I can literally feel myself sliding back into the pit of depression that I just managed to claw my way out of. You know the one where I sat here overwhelmed for a couple of years, not showering or cleaning or cooking or sleeping or talking to my family? That one. I so do not want to go there again. And this time, I am also angry. I’m trying really hard to not choose to be angry, but I am. At God, at dh, at the situation. Angry, angry, angry. Sigh.

Today, I want to do my cleaning, take care of my desk before it gets out of control, go to practice and scouts, read and blog a thing off my TBR pile, and make something pretty. I have other stuff on my google calendar, but those are the time consumers.

And also, remember this: half an ass is better than no ass, because at least you can cook and eat half an ass.
