A life in limbo....
I feel like we are in limbo or at the least a holding pattern. I get up, go to work, discipline kids all day, either come home and crash on the couch or work the second job those two nights a week and then I come home and crash on the couch. I have no motivation to do anything. I have all these ideas and needs to get that craft room in order and to work on my visual journal and alas it doesn't get done. I have worked in that room probably 6 hours or so yesterday and today and I swear it doesn't look like anything has been done. In actuality, I have gotten some of the scrapbooking supplies organized and in the drawers where they go, got the fodder that I use in my visual journaling sorted and placed in the new drawer tower I bought today. The table itself is still piled high with pictures, papers and junk. And forget the floor and closet. My ghod what a mess that is. I did cook supper yesterday and today and both meals came out fantastic. I went to Wal-mart for the first time in 3 weeks or more. Haven't seen friends in lord knows when. Can't even begin to know when we'll make an SCA event with Fred's health problems and my never ending battle with the knees.
I have a Social Studies conference in Greensboro on Thursday and Friday this coming week. My college daughter is going with me since she is studying to be a history teacher as well. I rented a scooter to be delivered to the convention hotel because that place is huge and the last time I went 2 years ago, I had a hard time getting around to all the seminar rooms and my knees were in better shape back then. Its costing me a fortune but it will be worth it to not have to worry about going from one venue to another. I might even be able to browse the vendor room which I didn't do last time.
I broke down and went and got my hair colored and highlighted. It needed it desperately. I hate to spend the money but I have to say, it sure looks much better. But one of these days, I'm going to have to bite the bullet and let it go completely gray. It'll look horrendous until the color grows off.
So might as well make the inevitable list to remind myself of upcoming items I have to take care of:
Income taxes
FAFSA for both girls (keep fingers crossed that they both get government money for school)
lesson plans for my sub for Thurs. and Fri.
Model UN meeting on Tues.
Aire Faucon business meeting on Tues.
work some more on that craft room
Contact Sam about the round robin journals
start looking at the costumes for the Model UN kids
Alright, finishing watching the Grammys and then to bed.
