Zzzzz......

My phone is slowing way down...it's so slow that it's almost dead.

My computer is slowing way down...it's almost dead too.

I wish my life would slow down...

But not to where I am dead.

Just to where I can handle it again...

Legal Eagle

 He's legal today!


Here he is working on his Eagle Project...

 for which he finished turning in the last of his paperwork today....  :O

All's I have to say is this:

You know that Mother's pin they give you when your son earns his Eagle?

Well...I earned it!

Happy Birthday Bug!

Luck O' the Irish?

Today I was in a rushto get out the door. After a quick shower and hastily applied make-up I quickly perused my closet for something suitable to wear. I threw on a little used shirt and a hoodie and sprinted to the car so that I could make it to class on time.

When I got to class everyone was talking about the color of their clothes and all of a sudden it dawned on me that today was St. Patty's day. I had completely forgotten!

And then I looked down at the shirt I was wearing and burst out laughing in amazement...it was BRIGHT GREEN!!!

I never wear this shirt!

And to wear it by accident today of all days...Well I can only say it's the Luck O' the Irish!

And just FYI...
never iron a four-leaf clover,




because you don't want to press your luck! :)

Dia duit!

Poof...it's gone.

Today in the shower I decided that I needed a waterproof recorder so that I could record all the posts that go through my mind whilst cleansing myself.

As the mist from the hot water swirls around in the air, so do thoughts swirl in my mind.

I write the most profound posts as the hot water washes over me, purifying my body and my mind.

Then I turn off the tap.

I open the door.

And as the mist dissipates into the air...so do my thoughts.

This is a random post...

This is my new toy...

I saved for almost a year for it.
It is a saweeeet ride.




See where that big stump is on the right side of the picture
(next to the fallen tree)?
That's where my front porch is going to be!

To those who know how long we have been waiting (four years)...
WE FINALLY SOLD THE EXTRA LOT!
We might actually get to build our dream home now!

But I won't hold my breath...




These are my toes in my favorite pair of flip-flops.

I told you this was a random post.



These are three of my goofy kids.

I'm never sure what I'm going to find on my camera
when I download my pictures.



So yes...I'm still alive.
Posts are percolating around in my head,
but have yet to make it out.

That is all.

In Which I Can't Juggle

Several days ago I emailed a friend with a question. She never answered me. I ran into her a couple of days later and asked how she was doing. She said she felt like she had too many balls in the air and they had all fallen down. I know how she feels. My balls have all dropped and I feel like I'm trying to navigate my way through them only to find myself slipping and sliding all over the place as I step on them and they roll out from under my feet!

Balls in the air:

Prepare for and teach Civil War class
Prepare for and teach Finance class
Prepare for and teach various other school subjects to children
Must find tutor
Fill out charter school paperwork
Fill out private school paperwork
Change mind on charter school
Fill out new charter school paperwork

Chauffer kids to various places
Make sure college tuition is paid
Make sure books are bought
Money is flying out of my pocket like a rocket ship
Work up chore schedule
Work up school schedule
Shop for new bike
Keep up with scripture reading
Try to keep FHE interesting
Try to organize house
Fail

Be happy that the silverware drawer is in order

Sometimes I wish I were a pioneer and all I had to do was walk.
Except, I know...they really didn't have it easy.

OK then, I wish I were a character in a Jane Austen novel.
I'd be a gentleman's daughter with a rich dowry and a dashing husband.
That's really my favorite era...I love the dresses and fancy balls and beautiful houses.

Sometimes I wish I were a bird and could just soar above all my bouncing balls.

Sometimes I wish my kids would come home on time so I didn't have to stay up so late thinking of all the balls that are dropping.

Oh! Wish granted!

Goodnight!
