Well... *Looks around and wipes the dust off.* Guess it's been a little while since I've been in here! LOL
School has started back up again, of course, and the girls are back at it. :) 4th Grade and 6th Grade. Busy, busy, busy. There was, of course, the rush for school shopping; clothes, supplies, etc etc. Talk about nuts. lol
The past week I've been fighting off this stupid cold...Sinuses packed, sore throat, sneezing, some coughing but more from throat irritation than chest congestion. Toting around Kleenex everywhere I go. Throat was sore enough that Sunday through Tuesday, I didn't leave the house. *Blah* Can breathe a bit better through my nose today but there's still a lotta congestion. Was suggested to pick up some Mucinex; I likely will do that at some point in time today.
Have been given the opportunity to do a little paid writing; it's the first time I've ever had anything like that happen! :) These are short little 1-2 minute scripts for a CD that is to accompany a book. :) 'Tis a very cool opportunity indeed!
And tomorrow, I am 43. Yikes. *facepalm* Today is the last day that my age is the answer to "life, the universe, and everything," thank you very much Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Where the heck did the year go??? LOL
What else...oh yeah, small snag in the adoption process, basically just a bit of red tape that's holding us up at the moment. We're hoping to have that resolved soon, and then we'll be back on track to getting things done. It would be so nice to have the adoption completed by Christmastime. :) *crosses fingers*
Other than that, not much else goin' on around here...just the usual day-to-day running around and the usual day-to-day exhaustion. lol Gimme a blankie and pillow and lemme sleep for a week. :) lol
Have a great day!
etc.,
kids!,
colds,
