From Face Book:
Am doing unpacking, and laundry, and mail sorting, and phone calling, and re-packing, and other just downright productive, if boring, getting-ready stuff.

yeah, never the fun part of travel, that's for sure. I use to do all of the work, get the pets ready for the sitter, get the kids ready, ( Read more... )

I'm in a hotel lobby using the WIFI while Mark's in a meeting in Chattanooga. He's in an SCCI (Southeastern Cave Conservancy) meeting. Tonight we go over to the Sewannee Mountain Grotto monthly meeting and potluck, and we're spendingthe night with friends (Ann & Blaine), and Sunday I'm going to a planning meeting about a big Cave Event and Mark's ( Read more... )

No, No, No.  I can NOT go tomorrow.  I don't have time to relax and eat and visit!  What was I thinking?

Yet another day that I carried the newspaper around with me, hoping for a minute to catch up on at least a little local news, and now I'm just dropping it in the recycle bin, unread.  On my way to bed, way too tired to even care.

Today I have a migraine. Of course I do, it's day two (well, really day one and a half) of the cycle. I feel incredibly overwhelmed. still. I can't seem to catch up no ( Read more... )

I'm feeling really crowded, almost trapped lately. I feel like I always doing something for someone else or something that has to be done but isn't really fun, like the PT exercises, or sleep.  Of course I love my guys, and I'm glad to be their mother or wife, and I wouldn't want any of them to read this and feel guilty, I know I freely signed up ( Read more... )
