Sparks and Butterflies...

But aside from that, she's still completely normal

Preparations

By 1 Comment

I don’t know if all moms are like me.  But I make lists.  Lots and lots of lists.

And right now I have a couple of clients heading out to NY next week, who have not yet given me credit card info for flights, another client to write for, swim lessons to sign up for, and a camping trip next week, followed the next day by a Palm Springs trip with some girls from high school.  Although “girls” seems like the wrong term since I’m 3 years away from my 20 year reunion.

I’ve made a lot of lists.

Lists of meetings and itineraries for clients.  Packing lists for camping.  Packing lists for Palm Springs.  Lists of what to buy.  Lists of what to do.  Not to mention reservations, directions, and how-to’s.  I had to google how to clean a fish.  Because my dad always did that part.  I also had to google how to percolate coffee.  I wasn’t old enough back then.

It’s quite possible that the lists are indeed keeping me sane.  Does that make me OCD?

Limbo of Life

By 2 Comments

We’re in this completely strange state of limbo.

Each day, I’m in limbo as I wait for jobs that come in through one of my clients.

My son is in limbo as we wait for his potential school tour.  His being home, without his brother, who’s at school, is weird.

We’re in limbo as we send the resumes and tend to Poe’s joblessness.

We’re in limbo as we have now lost our medical insurance.  We had Cobra, on the government subsidy.  The nine months allowed is up, and we cannot afford $777/mo on unemployment.  Thus, we wait with prayer and bated breath that no one needs emergency medical attention.

I feel like we’re in this bubble.  Floating along, never landing.  We just don’t know how far up we’ll be when the bubble bursts.

So – I managed to completely forget about NaBloPoMo this weekend.  That’s impressive.  Does this mean I have failed?

In other news, we have friends coming over for Monday Night Football.  This is big news – since we don’t allow people into our cave-like existence.

Still other news…  I am matron of honor in a wedding in January.  This is taking entirely more brainpower than I had anticipated.  What?  We eloped!

Welcome to Friday

By 1 Comment

YAY!  I cannot tell you how happy I am that it’s Friday!

Beyond that – I’ve got nothing to say.

I’m quite busy with client work, the week was all funky with a different schedule for the kids, and so I’m just done.

I might be having a friend over for dinner tonight, so I’m excited about that.

Tomorrow is my “day off.”  No chores, no work, no nothing.  Lazy day.  I will, of course, be here.

Idea – anyone have any questions?  I’m pretty open about my life, so nothing (this may bite me later) is off limits.  Ask away!  Religion, politics, home life, work, preferences, I don’t care.  I’d love to answer questions!  Gets the juices flowing.

I’m doing Nablopomo, are you?

Boring title.  Boring entry.  I don’t have time to write today (really write.)  I have a bunch of client work, errands, two school conferences, and a cardiologist appointment, not to mention kid pickups, homework, and feeding them lunch and dinner.  And housework.

I really dislike school half days.

I’m doing NaBloPoMo, are you?
