  • Time seems to slip away....

    So much time passes before I realize how long it has been since I talked with my friends. I seem to find myself very busy and needing to just sit down. With my foot messed up (still!!!) I am forced to sit and take a breather often. I have to let the swelling go down.

    In these times I think of calling friends and wishing that my friends weren't just as busy as I am. I would like to have simpler times.

    I have had another job interview over the phone. This didn't go so well. The kids decieded WWIII needed to start and then. I had to cut the call short so I could bandage and save those that were casualties of this war. Of course before this was all over I got a text letting me know I wasn't suited for the job!.

    Seems like I need to get a job talking people down from ledges and such because that seems to be my talent these days, ok maybe not talking down from ledges but emotions run high, kids get worked up and then need talking calmly to. Wonder what I can do. I sure would like to know what I want to be when I grow up. I am nearing a birthday and I still don't know.

    Silly me.....watched the first episode of a new show sh!t my dad says I was silly enough to drink while I was watching....for the first time in a long time liquid came out my nose.... I think I am going to watch this show and laugh a lot. I need the laughing.

  • funny thing writing....

    here I thought if I used this site to just write a daily blog just one for me and if someone read here oh well....well I have been just as bad at writing here as at my other site.

    So I will try and write a bit again.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Today has been an intersting day. My idea was to start going through my garage where my stuff is and just whittle it down till I could just poof be gone and not worry about much. BUT so far everything I have looked at is being used. With the exception of the kids toys it is all being used by me. So I need to go through and say goodbye to things that I use and have liked having. Just go through and cut cut cut..... I have a zen garden  with easter Island thingys. And I love playing with it and making new designs. This is my calming therapy when the kids are being butts!!

    I go into the garage, pour out the sand, level it, comb through the sand in designes, and then place the heads as well as the ods and ends of rocks. If I am still not calm I redo the sand and the rocks and such. Then I put them away.

    So there is one thing that do I really need it?! but I don't want to get rid of it. And there are so many things like this. So many things that I use. But then I don't have anything but clothing in the house that is mine and this bothers me more and more as the days go by.

    I feel religated to the garage. I don't have a home to use my things in. Everything in this house is either the kids or E's. SIGH.....

    On a brighter note....

    The kids are brilliant. They are so funny and great! Today they were gross. They found about 10 slugs and decided to play with them...with their hands and then they tried to race them....they didn't want to go anywhere.

    Now the kids are in bed and I am needing to head that way as well.

  • Cooler weather is needed for me....

    This heat is getting to be annoying. But on the bright side I was able to skype with you R. That was so much fun. I think I find myself wanting to talk more than I should . One of the things I find so enjoyable about talking with you....is that I laugh a lot. I like laughing. I hope I don't bother you or annoy you with my trying to translate things from Norse to English or the other way around. I think I need to figure out how to say a few things so that I am talking in your native language. I don't expect you to always talk in English for me (sounds fair?!)

    Anyway here is the story...

    norse story_0001

    i hope you can read it....the boys heard me talking about this story and ran off to write their own. So far we have a story about a really annoying princess whose father is just trying to get rid of her so that he doesn't have to listen to her anymore (just like the kids next door,...too bad I can't do something about them) says Walker.

    Brody is trying to write about a girl that talks so much her lips fall off.

    Thanks for skyping with me again. I enjoyed our chat. Hope to talk again soon.
