• Exhausted!

  So very sleepy, here!

  Jesse left early this morning (the alarm woke me up at 6:15am) to work with a friend of his.  I'm not exactly sure what this friend does (something about installing hydraulic lifts) and I'm not sure Jesse knew!

                                   

  It was one of "those days" with homeschooling.  I was so "done" with everything, I had to get up and leave the table, take lunch alone in my bedroom, and stay in "time out" in my bedroom for several hours.  All 3 girls had crying issues during school this morning.  Can you blame hormones on 7,  almost 9, and almost 10 year old girl children?  I mean REALLY!!!!

  As if homeschool wasn't punishment enough, the dog (Little Bit) dug out under the fence.  He hasn't done that in a long time and we quit monitoring him during his bathroom duty.  I figured he went to the neighbor's house, again, and I went to her gate and called and called for him.  No success.

  The girls ran up and down our street (I know they did, I could hear them!) calling for Little Bit.  They were so upset when they came back without him.  I was so upset (still) from homeschool, I think I just stared at them with glassy eyes.

  Eventually he was found. 

  At the neighbor's house. 

  As I suspected.

  I guess he didn't feel like answering me when I called and called at the gate!  I've had the feeling all day that no one is listening to me. 

  He was crying because he couldn't get back to our side of the fence. 

  So, the girls rescued him.  (sigh)

  Bad dog!

                                  

  After all of that, and I don't know why, I felt like this was a good day to work on our taxes again.  Don't tell me chemo hasn't effected my judgment. 

  I have no judgment.

  I'm an idiot.

  I finally finished our taxes after working on them from late afternoon through tonight.  I'm whooped.  I'm glad I got them done and I'm only waiting on some paper work in the mail to verify my figures.

                                 

  Rissy made dinner.  Such a help.  Spaghetti, salad, and garlic toast.  Later, she and I split the last of a chocolate cream pie I made the other night!

  Jesse STILL isn't home.  It's almost 11:30pm and it's raining cats and dogs.  Well, it's raining hail and there is lightning everywhere.

  Jesse just called.  He is delivering a trailer full of "stuff" (I don't know what) and is stuck on the Interstate in a hail storm that has made driving hazardous.  I know it's hazardous.  They have warnings on the TV, right now.  He called so I wouldn't worry. 

  Not worry? 

  There's hail so deep, the road is covered in ice and he told me there has been a wreck.  I could hear the hail beating the top of his truck while we talked.  He's stuck in traffic moving 25mph and going in a direction AWAY from our home.  After he gets there and makes the delivery, he has to make it all the way back to our town/house.

   
   
             Can you smile, kitty kitty?                                            There we go!  Good boy!              

  I think I will go to bed and read.  I can't take a bath - not without someone "big" being here.  I hope my unsteadiness goes away soon.  I'd love to be independent enough to take a bath alone!

  The bed and a heating pad sound like a very inviting call.

  I believe I'll answer the call!!!

  Be Blessed  ~
