Well here I am this morning trying to get caught up with my life. I’ve been sick lately, so I’ve let some work slide, housework slide, and well, just about everything really.
Once I get caught up on work I can get that book reviewed for Susan Marlow, and also get the website done that I’ve been working on.
I need to get the house-work caught up as well, but I don’t know if that’s going to happen today or not…Really tired, and pretty busy with other things.
Well I’ve gotten quite a bit of work done this past week, and just finished some work on this blog.
Now I need to go do some work on my website that I’m designing. I’m still missing some key items, but figure to do as much as I can until I get those items that I need. I’ll have to get with Bubble this week too and try to have her figure out what my problem with the backgrounds are, as I haven’t been able to get the backgrounds to work on the other pages. I don’t know what the problem is.
I know I haven’t been posting a lot of book reviews lately, but I have been doing quite a lot of reading as usual.
I’ve been reading a lot of Dad’s Louis La’Mour books lately. I’ve read about half of his collection in the last month, and am anxiously awaiting the next shipment. Until then I keep myself occupied with the rest of his collection.
Anyway, I’m off for the night…I’m getting tired.
I have made a discovery about myself. Something I never knew, because I never had an opportunity to discover it. I like playing sports, well at least to the degree of playing catch, which is my favorite, or kicking around the soccer ball with the girls.
I have really enjoyed this summer, because it’s been full of evenings spent playing catch, and kicking around the soccer ball.
I am rather sad that I never had an opportunity to play sports as a child. I am thankful that the girls are being given this opportunity though!
I have been lagging behind on my work. I’m not proud to say it, but it’s true. It’s not that I don’t enjoy my work, because I really do, it’s just that lately things have been so busy. When we haven’t been busy I have wanted to relax, or when I have tried to work, I seem to get interupted continuously. Anyway, I’ve had to batten down the hatches tonight, and not let anything disturb me, as I had to get some work done.
Speaking of battening down the hatches, we had a heck of a storm here just a few days ago. We didn’t stay here for it, we went to Emporia. Adam had been down visiting for acouple of days, and we were taking him home. We drove through some pretty nasty rain, but that was all. When we got to Emporia we heard there was a tornado only about 15 miles away from here, so we decided to stay in Emporia that night. It was lots of fun, and thankfully no damage was done here while we were gone.
I’m sure this post will get lost among my dozens of other posts, but I thought it was time for a bit of an update.
I’m sure you can tell that I have been doing a lot of reading lately, and with that comes posting the book reviews. I can’t really say I’m that good at reviews. I can tell you whether I liked the book or not, and why, but as for an in depth review I never have a clue what to write.
Work has been going really good the last week too. Keeping me hopping, which is what I’m doing tonight…loads and loads of work, but I try to make time to stop in and do a few personal entries too.
Life is crazy busy aside from the book reviews and work too. This whole week coming up I will be running the roads constantly. Speaking of which I just remembered that my planned trip to KC will have to be rescheduled for another time, because of a previous engagement. Guess it’s a good thing that I sat and typed this out, and it made me remember.
So anyway, I’m off to do a book review and as much work as I can get done.
Here it is a quiet Mother’s Day morning. Dad just went off to feed the horse, and I, after finishing this entry will be making a nice breakfast for the family.
Life is settling again. I still have some things in my room to sort through and unpack, but all in all it is coming along nicely.
I’m hoping to get the livingroom steam cleaned this week. I was going to do it this past week, but Meg was home sick most of the week. Nothing serious, but enough to keep her home. Today we need to get a bit of her schoolwork done, so she isn’t so far behind when she goes back to school tomorrow.
Two more weeks of school and then they will be free. *LOL* I am looking forward to this summer! I’ve really missed having the girls around all the time, with them in public school, but I know that is what is best for them right now.
Des is playing softball this year. They’ve had practice for acouple of weeks now, and she’s getting it figured out very nicely. I truly hope she enjoys playing!!
They are also going to get swimming lessons again this year. We missed last year because of money issues, but this year they will be able to continue their lessons.
Music shows once a month as well. We all very much enjoy going to The Burlington Opry, for the music, and the people. I am going to be designing a website for the Opry, and hope to have it done in June, or at least opperational.
Plans are that the girls might get to go with Dad on the truck this summer as well. So it seems we will be quite busy this summer! They also plan on doing another Star Struck program, as soon as we find out the dates. We might even be able to squeeze in some day trips to zoos or something. Yes, a busy summer we will have for sure.
Well, it’s time to get dressed and get breakfast started. Be sure to check out my other blogs for more updates!!
Sorry I’m so far behind on blogging!!!! We have spent the last week moving!!! Yes I said MOVING!!!! I am sooooo happy to finally be moved!!!! It’s been a rough move though, not only did we move all of our stuff to the new place, but we also spent 2 days clearing out a storage shed that we’ve had for like 15 years….so anyway it made for some very long days.
Now I am spending my time trying to get everything unpacked, all the clothing and bedding washed, and getting my house in order.
We don’t have internet at the house at this point, so I’m still stuck coming to the library, but it won’t be for long. I’m checking internet options as we speak, as well as trying to get some overdue work done.
Not much of an update I know, but I have tons of work to do so I need to get it started.
Logically I realize things could be much worse than what they are, and people tell me that all the time as well, but it doesn’t make me feel better about the way things are. People keep saying “You’ll find a house when the time is right”. I’d like to know who’s time, because the time has been right for me to get out of where I’m at for months. “keep Faith”…Yeah well faith doesn’t have a lot to do with how I’m feeling right now!!!! The simple fact is, I need to move NOW!!!!! “Oh give it time…” Yeah well isn’t 6 months enough time??
The sadest part of all of this is we could have maybe already BOUGHT a house, except that Dad’s name is on a bill of my sister’s that she hasn’t been paying, so it’s messed up Dad’s credit score to where he can’t get financed. I had the downpayment for the house, but we couldn’t get the financing….If that hadn’t been the problem we might have already been moved into OUR house, one that I wouldn’t have to worry if the landlord allows pets and all that crap!!
I’ve been kind of looking around at ipods lately. Not real seriously yet, but I’ve been thinking of maybe getting Des one for her birthday.
She’s outgrowing the toy stage, and a girl can only wear so many clothes, although her interest in clothing and shopping has increased dramatically lately.
She’s really into music, so I was thinking an ipod might be a good choi
