Ramblings, often stream of conscious, journaling the events of my life.

  • Cleaning Freenzy!

    To get the washer back in the house I’ve been forced to clean. I have madly been throwing out magazines and mail most dating back to 1998 although I have found some from 1991 and at least one reference from 1984. An archealogist would have a hayday with this pile of rubbish.

    I have gotten good at this and even thrown out college course work and my Cobol manual!

    It is refreahing to put some more of my past behind me. It helps to move forward when you aren’t anchored by the past.

  • The Lost Book

    Sabrina I found your book.

  • Of Grasshoppers

    Student: Why does the dog bark?

    Master: It knows no better way to communicate.

    This Morning

    I have a week’s worth of work I’d like to do today. My desires are home repair (mine and a friends) and lawn work as well as personal programming and business programming. I recognize this as an evil way to start the day so I am going to focus. My only interest right now is the dryer. If it takes an hour I can do more. If it takes all day so be it!

    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.

  • Show and Sell

    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!

    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.

  • Wired in a Calm Way

    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.

  • Of Grasshoppers

    Student: I have too much to do today!

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

  • Amy Speaks

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

  • Cats are funny

    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.

  • Wigged

    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?!

    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.
