Some times I wish...
That I didn't care. That I wasn't a "fixer" and that I didn't get my feelings hurt when people who ask my advice don't take it. Or go get different advice from someone else. Maybe what I have to say isn't what they needed. Or something. I am probably just projecting.
School starts on Monday, well for Katey it does. I am taking Meaghan to her first "real" concert. She has been to some with her Mamaw, Country singers, which she liked. But she picked this one and earned the money for her ticket. And now I am taking her to the Vans Warp Tour at Riverbend on Monday. Thanks to my Mother-In-Law for taking the younger ones so I could. So our school will start later that week. I have been buying school stuff all summer to get ready. I buy it used on e-bay and get some really great deals. I also have been selling a lot of the stuff, that we haven't, aren't or don't use, on there too. I have a bunch ending all day today. Some will sell, most won't but that will be more stuff out of my house. And money for it too!
The Lady I now call my best friend is coming into town from Massachusetts on Saturday - for 2 weeks - and I am very excited to see her. I usually only see her once a year but this year it gets to be 2 times. It is funny, we just pick right up where we left off and it is great. I don't plan on getting much done, other than visiting with Linda. Gosh I sure wish she would move back to Lexington. Maybe after the school year. That would be a big answered prayer for me. Although, Heidi said she would be my neighbor, she might come move in somewhere close. I could deal with that. Wait, I think she wants me to move close to her, dang.
I have been slacking on the clean some on my room every day for 15 minutes. With getting ready for school and all the other stuff I do instead, I am loosing ground here. It sure would be nice to have a TV show come in and do it for me. You all should go to TLC.com and tell them I should be on Clean Sweep, or While you were our, or Rally Round the House. If I have enough people tell them they should do it for me they would. How selfish is that? Me, me, me. Wow, I am awful. I would come help you all though, clean your house and such. Dig up your back yard and replant it all. That would be fun. I do owe Debi a house cleaning. She is getting ready to go back to school and maybe one day next week, while she is on half days, I can go help. We will see.
Well, I need another cup of coffee, and to do the dishes from last night and fold the clothes. I sure need to get me a routine to get stuff done before I get the kids up for school. So that stuff will be done and I won't have to weave my way around piles of clothes and baskets and all kinds of stuff. I get frustrated when the house is messy and I have to do school. I am anal like that.
Peace - out~
