Some Thoughts

  • We only have 2.5 days left of school and I'm feeling every minute of them...I am so ready to be done. It feels like a major victory to have made it through another year working in the front office of a junior high with almost 2000 kids, I'm exhausted.
  • The weather has been so nice I feel guilty if I'm not outside. But I don't really know what to do with myself outside. I have grand visions for an amazing yard but lack the funds and know-how to make that happen...I guess we'll continue to baby step our way along.
  • My version of savoring the weather is to read under the canopy of the amazing trees in our front yard, I'm fond of my version.
  • Whitney and I may be getting colds at the same time.
  • I have 8 hours of church ahead of me tomorrow and I'm not happy about it.
  • I wish dinner wasn't an issue every stinkin day.
  • If I read in the cozy at this time of day (6:00pmish) I am bound to doze off for an unauthorized, point-of-no-return type nap, so I must not go there.
  • I helped Lori acquire two kittens this week (from a neighbor of ours) and it's killing Whitney.
  • When I'm at work all I can think about is how much other stuff I could be working on at home, but when I'm at home I often don't want to do anything at all. It's a problem.

Oh my I didn't realize the school is that HUGE!?!? No wonder you are ready for a break!! School is out for us for the summer and while I still have to do a lot of shuttling to camps and activities so that I can go to work all summer, it's a welcome break from the homework supervision and various after school activities for me.

I'm sure it's no consolation to Whitney but Luci won't ever be getting a kitten either. 2 dogs put me over the top. I am totally at my limit with pets. Forever. Luci mailed Whitney a postcard yesterday. I'm sorry we've really slacked off with the Good Mail lately.

My sympathies tomorrow. Eight hours of church is pure commitment.

I have a long list for when I have free time yet nothing seems to get checked off. It's a problem. I wander around too much.

Dinner time is hard. I feel your pain there.

Oh man, 8 hours? That is a long time!

While I'm falling a sleep I go through what I need to get done and then the morning comes and it all goes out the window. It's a pain.

I feel like I am lacking in more than 1 way with regards to the yard of my dreams.
And seriously it kills me that my family expects me to feed them every. single. day.

I have the same problem with curling up with a book in my cozy (the sofa) I'll be out like a light.

Show some pictures of the kittens if you have any. Nice work helping to find them a home.

I love the Church, but 8 hours? Hope you faked an illness to get out of that. Ha, ha. JKnotJK.
