• A Bullet Post

  No, not a bullet as in “gun bullet”  – but, a post of statements in bullet format!

  *  I woke up this morning after sleeping well.  I was awake a few times with Chirper, who has a cold. He wanted to sleep in my arm pit with his head on my shoulder – I guess to elevate his sinuses (????).  But, all in all, it was a good night of sleep.

  *  Last night wasn’t so great.  I pulled dinner together quickly and it went over very well.  I never know how my invented recipes will be received!

  *  I went back to the bedroom and took the shower and washed my hair (liked I had needed to do all day) and discovered  the bed was still unmade from washing our bedding earlier in the day.  (sigh . . . rolling my eyes)  I rushed through my shower.  I made the HUGE and HEAVY bed (by myself, NOT easy) and got in bed 2 minutes before my show was scheduled to come on.  I only have ONE SHOW (an hour long)  I try to make time for each week . . . something else was on in it’s place!!!!! NO WAY!!!!

  *  Disgusted, I turned the remote control over to Jesse and pouted.  Seriously, the whole day of struggles, when I had thought I didn’t have much to do, had worn me out.  It’s a good thing I hadn’t started the day with a list of things that I HAD TO DO!!!!

  *  I came out to the computer this morning and sat in my chair before EVER touching a key or the mouse.  I gave myself a pep talk.  The monitor, and its parts, looked like a big, green, controlling monster lurking in my path.  I reluctantly went to my Hotmail account with NO SUCCESS.  I came to Xanga and tried to insert pictures into my text body and, again, wasn’t successful.  Okey dokey!

  *  I should probably take a computer course in my . . . ROFLOL!    “free time”  .  ROFLOL!  Yeah, I crack myself up!

  *  I need to run to the vet to get Chriper an antibiotic.  I think his throat is sore.  He’s not eating well.  His nose and eyes are runny.  Gotta catch these things with him quickly in the beginning.  While out getting his prescription, I’ll stop at Sam’s and get a chub of ground beef.  I SO dislike going to Sam’s by myself.  It’s the one place where I feel very “little” – I guess that’s not an ALL BAD way to feel!  I haven’t felt “little” in ages!

  *  Our home study is this evening, starting around 3:30-4:00.  She will stay a long time because this is the guts of the interview from which she will write the study.  I’ll have to have a dinner the girls can eat without us and something we can eat later.  How much you wanna bet the show I missed last night is on tonight???!!!  OK!!!  I’ll be more positive!

  *  My class (Raising Kids God’s Way) has been canceled (this coming Thursday evening) and rescheduled for tonight.  I may not be able to go.  Depends on how long the social worker stays.  The first time we had one done (a home study), the worker stayed for 3 or 4 hours.  It’s like an interrogation.  I’m glad I browned extra meat last night.  It will come in handy tonight.

  *  Well, I guess that’s all the nondescript news from our house and my life.

  *  I’m thinking pine boughs with lights, berries, and birds around my doorways would cheer things (and who knows . . . maybe even ME!!!) up!  But . . . Jesse would KILL ME graveyard dead if I did anything like that before Thanksgiving.  Then again . . . maybe that wouldn’t be a bad outcome . . .

  Oh, Lord, I’m climbing up to your throne step by step.   Thanks for having a long arm that reaches down to help me!
