What am I supposed to Say?
I think I am hitting a blogging wall. I think great things but by the time I get to a computer or get my home computer to load all this stuff, I can't remember what I was going to say.
Anyway, here are some things I am working on:
Sister's grad school graduation is in 5 weeks. SisterinLaw's college graduation is in 5 weeks. Sadly, they are on the same day and so I can only go to one...Sister's. Thankfully, they are graduating! Woohoo, congrats to both. But I have to choose and blood wins. The Dude will go to his sister's college graduation.
My parents are coming down in 4 weeks to spend a weekend with us before Sister's graduation. I am prepping for that.
My inlaws (5 of them!) are coming down for SiL's graduation. I am prepping for that.
My house is still filled with the previous tenant's dishes, cookware, bakeware, cleaning supplies, and decorations. She didn't want to hassle with it, so she gave it to me. I'll make some money in a garage sale.
I have the 31st off so I guess I'll have my garage sale in 11 days. Yay. That's good and soon, but holy cow how will I get it done so soon??
The Dude's semester is driving forward of course. No matter what else happens, that treadmill never slows down and always seems to speed up. Now he also has Track Season and that just adds speed to the treadmill. Pray that he doesn't burn out/we don't burn out.
I am working at consistent meal plans and chore charts for myself. I have done this for three weeks in a row and am excited about that but wonder about this garage sale in 11 days. Yikes.
Thank God for a job but now I have less time for myself which is after all a good thing...it provides less time for me to be self-indulgent and lazy and selfish. But my sinful self hates giving up all that ME TIME and is finding it really hard to pry the little fingers off what is mine. Picture a little toddler here crying like her heart will break holding on to the ratty grody dolly, crying "Mine! Mine!" That's me and it's exhausting to be fighting that. But fight it I will, and all of you faithful readers keep encouraging me. Sooner or later the little toddler will tire out and realize that the dolly is grungy and that there are better toys to play with and better ways to spend her time. Sooner or later I'll grow up and pass this sanctification test. Can't wait.
Well, that's all. No, wait: I had a cold a week and a half ago. The Dude got it from me last weekend. What with two coughers in one bed sleep doesn't come as easily. And we had a major scheduling scare, as well. A whole week, folks. A week. What else? I have a sore throat, I'm counting down till I see my family cause I MISS THEM LIKE MAD, and I'm counting down till the fun fest week on the Gulf Coast we are having because We Can't Celebrate All Summer, so Let's Celebrate Everything in this One Week family Festival. Doesn't that sound enticing? The beach. Aaaah. I haven't been to a beach since Hawaii, and I haven't been to a beach on the mainland since....hm....I graduated from college 5 years ago. It's about time.
Just a moment while I look in my calendar...
And the vacation:
Yessssssss.
