Random thoughts...

I'm sitting here in my kitchen, listening to my girls play in their room. I'm trying to collect my thoughts as they bounce around my brain. So maybe if I put them down in cyberspace, they'll settle down so I can sleep.
Here it goes...

1. I just finished paying most of our bills. I once was rich, but now I'm poor. (sigh)

2. I need to go work in my room tomorrow. I start back to work Monday and I NEED to go arrange things in my room so I can start planning. I simply cannot focus on lesson plans if my room is not put together! And, contrary to popular belief, all next week will be spent in meetings from 8 am to 3 pm telling us what we need to do and how we need to do it. Fun, fun everybody - any takers?

3. I received a call today from a friend. She wants to meet for lunch. I really am excited to see her! However, see number 2.

4. Shark week is on and I'm sitting here typing.

5. My grass is so high my dog gets lost in it.

6. I have two light bulbs - that's right TWO- that blew. No big deal right? Wrong. When I took them out to replace them, the light bulb came out, but not the silver thing that screws into the light bulb plug.
How does this happen? And two in a row?!

7. I need to do laundry.

8. I need to clean my house.

9. I need to go to the grocery store. The fridge is looking a little bare. Think Old Mother Hubbard.

10. I need to make a list of all supplies needed for my classroom.

11. I need to make a list of all the tasks I need to do next week. (GROAN!)

12. I need one more week of summer.

13. Only four more weeks until my beloved comes home!

14. I need to make a "honey-do" list for when he comes back. I wonder if he'll be mad about the grass?
Okay, I've got to stop!

Well, that didn't work. Now, not only are the thoughts in order, they are there starring me in the face. Great.

On a total side note, that has nothing to do with anything at all...

Did you know that if you flip a shark over on it's back it becomes comatose? Kinda like Jake.

because my mom said so...



I'm back. (you should be smiling now Jason)


I seriously considered NOT blogging ever again. I was on the verge of deleting it all and walking away.


Why you ask?


Because, who wants to read the ramblings of a 31 year-old mom living in MASCOT, Tennessee? Seriously! Who has time to read this stuff?!


My mom that's who.


So, I'm back. (If you will indulge me this brief comparison...) If my writing is like food...when you come to the table, sometimes you will see PB and J(crust removed of course). Sometimes you will see a full meal complete with dessert. And, sometimes you will see burnt toast.


Bon Appetit!
