i am...
-> in basically good health as far as the word "good" pertains to me. *heh*
-> wearing a bright pink t with tiny gold and silver studs that spell out Queen of Everything ... no one seems to take notice.
-> in the throes of planning corey's graduation ceremony. to be held at school. in the 'auditorium'. which means here. in the family room. *ha*
-> likely to die before it's all over.
-> a by-the-hair-of-my-chinny-chin-chin survivor of my mother trying to freak me completely out with wanting to move the graduation to summer, etc., change it to a cook out, etc., and completely take over the whole thing entirely etc. (which is why i hadn't told her about it!!) but since corey didn't want to wait that long for a graduation ceremony anyway and we're moving forward with the original plans (sort of!)....
-> expecting new carpet tomorrow... after going to pick it out totally spur-of-the-moment yesterday. ends up being for two rooms since the roll was off the warehouse floor and there'd be just enough for my bedroom after doing the living room and hallway (which look absolutely crappy!!!) the carpet is an imbursement given back for the assistance i have given and will, obviously give in future to the advancement of the enterprise overseen and manipulated by my parents. *ahem* how's that for vague and unintelligible??
-> mad at self because i've misplaced several important papers in the past few days. very angry. am hoping they'll turn up as we uncover from the mess made from laying of carpet. ??
-> excited about helping a used-to-be neighbor and long-time friend get familiar with homeschooling. her daughter is casey's age. i think both of them have wanted to try homeschooling for some time, but the mom works and the daughter made such good grades, they just never pursued it. but in the last year of middle school, the kids are meaner, the teachers have become unfair and the general atmosphere has become such that the daughter is downright unhappy. so much so she gets physically ill. :( anyhow... i've been trying to console/counsel/cheer them on in making this decision.
-> freaking out about sis's THIRTY SIXTH BIRTHDAY this sunday. *eyes bugging* how on earth did that happen?!?! of course, that means i'm like, waaaay old now, too. but to realize she's 36??? even though she's a grown woman all on her own and stuff... *sheesh* for some reason, that number is just freaking me!
-> like *blink, blink* because someone just called my cell phone asking for mamaw. /8^O what the heck?
-> the lucky contestant who's up for "hand tommy the tools" tonight. he got a call about three hours ago to do a job he's done probably three times in the past 12 years. *shrugs* eh, he saaaays it won't be too hard or too long and these people (car dealership) pay faaast... well, it'll be some much needed moolah around here. [addendum::: casey went to help since they cancelled emt cadet meeting a-g-a-i-n] so i got to sneak in a little nap!
-> sad to say this is all i have to tell you. or that is.. that's all i have time to tell you. i have so many thoughts i really need to 'flesh out'. stuff about mamaw and some of the things i've learned about since her death. things i wish i'd known or understood more about... and of course, my feelings about graduating my baby in a few weeks. *sheesh!* only a two days before his brother will turn 14 and then two weeks before he will have his own 18th birthday. where did my little boys go??? *sniffle*
-> glad i didn't forget to mention... basically the one viable option for a decent blog (ie: one with usable commenting!!) is to transfer everything from moveable type to another blog software. wordpress has been suggested by the hosting company. i know nothing about wordpress and obviously, just don't have time to research it right now. anyone who wants to give me a little insight on how well it does (or doesn't?) work, please email me!! {don't forget to change the doodads in the email address!}
thanks.
blessings to you!
