I'm thinking of taking a break from the net all together. I already left CS. I'm thinking I need to leave the rest of it as well. I know that seems a drastic decision. I'm busy. I'm currently volunteering at three places and thinking of tacking on a fourth. Then there are voice lessons, home school, all the kids' lessons plus housework. In between ( Read more... )

I keep thinking today is Monday. I spent the past few days in a nyquil and sudafed induced stupor. I still have a cold but I'm doing much better so I woke up with more energy and the determination to get things done. Um...that determination has diminished some as the day has gone on. Since I failed to do a single thing on Monday or Tuesday my ( Read more... )

My cold is on the way out...I think. I sure hope so because I need to get my butt on the treadmill and I cannot do that when my head is pounding and I cannot breath. So, physically I'm better. However, I'm having a few emotional issues. I'm not gonna get into them. I said I wouldn't do that in my LJ anymore. I'm sure I'll get over it. I'm just in a ( Read more... )

Steve got up with Mike this morning to take him to school. Mike is in the early stages of this cold. Hopefully it won't get too much worse. I'm miserable and I'd hate for him to feel like this. I stayed in bed. I had no intention of getting out of bed but then the guys showed up to figure out where the strange odor was coming from. They went to my ( Read more... )

I have a terrible cold. My head hurts. My throat hurts. I can't stop coughing. I'm all stuffed up.

One of my gold fish, Little E, died today. :( I cried.

The entire household woke up at 6:30 in the a.m. because of that horrible chemical smell in our house. I guess the fumes decided they were bored in the kitchen and decided to explore the rest of the house. We opened up the house to get some air and I made a call. I explained that there was no way we could continue to live like this through the ( Read more... )

Bleh! I hate the stupid contractors here. I'm very ticked off at the moment. Yesterday, while cleaning, I noticed a strange smell. I am not sure how to describe it but it was a chemical smell. I had washed my kitchen rugs and they were in the dryer so I thought maybe the rubber backing on the rugs had gotten too hot. But when I went to get them out ( Read more... )

Forgive me but I'm having an off day. It is Thursday. I've spent a good portion of the day cleaning. I know it seems like I clean a lot but when you have two kids, two cats and a very dirty dog...well...you have to keep on top of things. I like a clean house. I've been taking breaks here and there to catch up on my reading and to browse the web. I ( Read more... )

I had an appointment today. It was a follow up on my thyroid. I had seen Dr. Blake back in November and he had told me to come in around April to have things looked at again. It would figure that Dr. Blake is deployed. But they got me in with another surgeon who asked a lot of questions and seemed genuinely concerned. She was in agreement with ( Read more... )

I woke up feeling like hell. Ugh! Mornings seem to get worse and worse. I suppose it is my old age setting in. I never feel rested and my knee always hurts and usually I feel really nauseous for the first few minutes I'm awake. It all goes away when I get up and get moving but those first few minutes SUCK! Joe and I worked on school and then Steve ( Read more... )
