A Day in My Life

Literary mood I guess, go figure…

Um yeah, call the house before i leave work

2 oldest are gone – school bus

hubby and youngest still in bed, apparently smacked off instead of snooze… been there done that.  So I get to the house and there are no lights on.  Wait, didn’t I just call ten minutes ago?  So I call again.  Youngest is on his way out.  So here comes my little trooper with not one cup of coffee, but two.  Way to go Mess (his nickname)!!  His hair is coifed and his clothes neat.   And he is dribbling my coffee all over the concrete.  To save my precious drops of joe, I open my door, thank him profusely, and tell him not to drip in the van.  We both finish this wonderful hot coffee in record time – it’s 21° F.  A little chilly for this area.  So get him off to school, but not before having to write a note giving him permission to go on a field trip.  He lost the permission slip and I have to park in the school lot to jot said note down.  <sigh> boys.  Come home listening to music.  Song is about the rock star life style.  Why would someone want to play baseball in their bathroom?  Why not just get a heated indoor swimming pool and put a toilet and sink in there somewhere?  And having 15 cars would just be bad on the cars.  At the most they would be driven twice a month.  Not the best thing for an engine…  Meh, just let me be me by myself.  The money would be nice, but only because I could pay folks to leave me alone.  Plus I figure a true success in that kind of life is able to look at it all and have the intestinal fortitude to smile and just walk away from it.  Who needs all the hype?  If you’re that good, word will travel anyway.

So I come home and there is this awesome thing I like to call an Armstrong heater.  It’s kind of like the snuggies they sell on tv, except this one is more proactive.  I don’t go get it and wrap up, it comes to me an has its own heat source.  Totally awesome, that.  All I have to do is look cold and it gets me all cozy.  Even brings me coffee on occasion.

It’s 8:30 am, so getting close to my bed time.

Have some stuff I want to do on my server.  But not now.  It will have to wait.  My Armstrong heater is looking at me like I’m cold, so I’m going to get some fresh coffee and get snuggled.

Remind me to smack my sister for not calling me yet…

Hey, the surface of my desk is dark brown…

I just spent the better part of 8 hrs cleaning in my office.  I finished by cleaning of f the surface of my desk.  I don’t think it has ever been this clutter free.  Just don’t look in or under it.  Thats where my shoes and tools and cd’s and books, etc. go.  Guess what I’m working on tomorrow…

BT Sr. has rearranged all of our furnature, and removed a lot of stuff that we really shouldn’t have had for so long.  We donated shoes, dress blues, bdu’s, alice packs and heaven knows what else to goodwill this wk.  I have my living room back, and most of my patio!! Way to go BT Sr.!!

Many many thanks go out to my parents, Mr. and Mrs B, for the loan of their small pick up truck.  I don’t think we could have done this w/o it.

It was a long time comming but, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  I am starting to see what BT Sr. has in mind and I like it more seeing it than I did just hearing about it.  These furnature arrangements are going to work out best for the boys to study and play.  It will be nice to be able to keep an eye on them while we are in the kitchen.

Well time to call it quits for the night.  I’m going to take some time to work on editing and then maybe some file maintenance for the group.  Later, I may set up an xdcc server for my manga collection.  Who knows…
