• I Give Up

  I’ve been sitting here all morning paying bills and making phone calls.  Every now and then I have checked Xanga to see if it would let me insert photos into my post.  Nope.  No such luck!  So, I’ll wait until it wants to cooperate.  You can go to my photo gallery to see the girls’ new dresses.  AND, the pictures of all the arguing in the kitchen comes down to, “Too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the soup.”   It’s due to the area being MINE AND RISSY’S and Rissy’s feeling that no one else should set foot in there!  Had to step in and break things up this morning!

  As I had mentioned last week, we took the girls out to dinner Sunday.  Jesse was exhausted from his week and so we did not attend church (except for TV church, if that counts!).  We went to a Furr’s cafeteria that is huge – has a serve yourself set-up.  Nothing really appealed to me.  I hope the girls’ enjoyed their meals as it was FOR THEM from Steve , who had given us money to take them out! 

  We left there and went to visit Jesse’s mom in the hospital.  The doctor came in while we were there and I asked pertinent medial info so I could relay it to the Tacoma, WA family members.  She has lots of medical problems and this hospitalization is part of an ongoing battle with her health.

  As I said in my earlier post, I have no access to my Hotmail e-mail correspondence.  I can see everything that’s in my in-box but can’t open it.  VERY frustrating.  So, if any of you have a note you’ve sent, I’m sorry . . . I can’t access it.  I read some comments posted after Hotmail made some recent upgrades (last week) and I’m not alone.  I figure they’ll work out the bug eventually – same thing with Xanga.  I have Xanga Premium, so storing photos shouldn’t be a problem AND if you click photos you can see what I uploaded today.  I just can’t insert them into the body of my text entries.

  Today’s agenda is fairly low key:

  *  Tidy up desk (done, only a few “short piles” remain)
  *  Laundry – our bed and mattress pad (already done)
  *  Sweep kitchen floor and empty dishwasher (Rissy and Annamarie already did)
  *  Pay bills (done)
  *  Make numerous phone calls.  (Done and waiting for SOME to call back)
  *  Dinner????  Something with ground turkey and/or ground beef
  *  School  (we’ll get to that after lunch).  All easy stuff, as we wind down this week and next week for a break

  That’s about the sum total of my exciting day!  The lady who is doing our home study will be back out tomorrow afternoon.  Jesse is taking off the day to take care of his aunt’s yard and then be here around 3-4pm for the home study appointment.

  I have no where else I have to be until Friday – for the girls’ appointments. 

  I feel like I have “all the time in the world,” right now.  We’re going to fix baked potatoes for lunch.  In real time, I realize there is never anything vaguely resembling “all the time in the world” in my life, but I am enjoying my naive feeling of complete relaxation!!!!!

  Be blessed  ~
