Month: October 2004

Took Molly to PetSmart. I now feel like the leaning tower and my left arm is longer than the right. It was a fun trip.

What a day so far! The morning was spent trying to get out for the afternoon. The girl scouts had their first meeting at their new location and to get Amy and Molly to the inlaws I followed Cathy to the location then did some Walmart shopping then dropped Amy and Molly off then Noah and I rushed home to sell popcorn to raise money for the boy scouts.

Today has been like trying to read a book inside a tornado and there is more fun to be had!

A New Day!

This Morning

Crashed hard last night like a plane shot from the sky. Why say some so horrible?! Because I fell asleep while watching The History Channel’s “Conspiracy?: TWA Flight 800” Much needed very deep sleep!

I actually watched the last 30 minutes of the presidential debate. I would have enjoyed seeing the whole thing. These two certainly presented themselves more…presidentially…than their running mates. My favorite part was when Bush made reference to No Child Left Behind and Kerry rebutes that “millions have been left behind.” No Child Left Behind has done nothing!

It giles me that they can stand up there and spout spin and unless you are educated on the issues you have no way to know whether or not they are lying. I was waiting with bated breath for Kerry to reference land in the Great Smoky Mountians National Park that was returned to the Cherokee Indians for schools (which will one day become casios). The reference never came (I can’t find a link..anyone have one?).

Time for a hectic day. We have a neighborhood yardsale going on today (not participating). I wonder how its doing?

Exceptional soccer tonight! Time to chill for a few then get back to work.

The juggling went ok. I should have had my microphone. That was a mistake not bringing it. I’m on edge about all the traffic rules now. The ticket incident hasn’t made me a better driver but I’m cop phobic now. Paranoid in a delusion sense that they are “out to get me.”

I’m calm on the outside and jittery on the inside. Must take a couple of minutes of meditation.

Student: I have too much to do today!

Master: You have exactly one day’s worth of doing to do today.

At some point I need to record her saying this: “Ewwww! Molly pewped!”

This cat has been repeating this same 1 minute video clip (0:54 2.3MB) for the past hour. Apparently her sister is on the other side of the glass just watching with amusement.

I’m totally tripped out. To the point of dysfunctionality. I’m having a hard time kicking this.

Today is my major deadline and I’m not sure that the s/w is there.

Today I have a juggling performance that I am totally unprepared for. I wanted new material and I’ll be lucky to get by with the old, stagnant material.

Tonight I have 3 things plated that need to happen at once.

Tomorrow will be hellish.

On Sunday could I rest?!

A New Day!

This Morning

Stress and anxiety are off the charts! Yesterday I gave Tommy an over the top verbal lashing unnecessarily. He had done wrong but it should have been ignored.

Today is going to be hard. I’m overcommitted and its going to make me need to be committed.

I could give into sleep right now or I could drive on and get some work done. I shall work!

Cheers to Jethro at SpyJournal on his special day today!

I have been meaning to give a friend this list of links since July. Time flies and so many things drop through the cracks when you have 10,000 action items. So, I cannot lay hands on my friend’s email address at the moment and I know she peaks in here so here are the links (better late than never):

http://www.korrnet.org/sb6bc/

http://www.parent-childservices.com/ has lots of checklist and fact sheets if you click “information” in the left column

http://www.allaboutmoms.com/speechchecklist.htm

http://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/voice/speechandlanguage.asp

http://www.aap.org/parents.html

http://www.aacap.org/

My wife, the wealth of information, actually deserves the credit for referring those links.

Sorry for the delay.
