Day: February 2, 2004

* Got the kids up, had breakfast and tested the 7 yr old on his spelling. He was so tired that he was making errors like “time lineline” and “Sams’s” If he concentrates, he should test out of spelling this week with the pre-test. 7 and 10 yr old were jolly. I gave the 13 yr old his medicine half an hour late. The 10 yr old turned me down for the “he and me” dance this coming Saturday. I asked that she see how many people in her class are going and told her “we don’t have to dance. We can go and just have fun.” She’s afraid I’ll embarass her and she is too self-conscious to dance. Dancing could be so healthy for her.

* Drove the kids to school. Our carpooler was slow today we almost didn’t make it on time.

* Some work accomplished. Time to get the kids up for school.

* One hour before the kids rise. My neck aches in the area where you’d take a pulse. I’ve got another load of laundry in, added wood to the fire, took some trash to the street and am settling in to program. On good news, the mud stains appear to have mostly come out. I think one more treatment would have removed them completely but I’ll try that after the next wear.

* Bathed, flossed teeth even! Skipped my stretching exercises but am feeling pretty good. Time to brew some coffee and make with the tapping on the keyboard to get the php thing wiped out.

A New Day!

This Morning

* Time to start the day. There’s no point to being in bed anyway. Started 30 minutes ago with a few minutes of Scarface. Then restarted the fire. Then decided to quit procrastinating on a pair of pants that got mudstained a year or more ago. Not even sure they fit. I scrubbed and bleached and did my best. Now I’m moving laundry to the dryer and will start a load to see if I got the stains out.

* Let’s make this a productive day despite all the adversity.
