Saturday pm

I've worked four days in a row... class Wednesday, class Thursday, then working the store all day Friday and Saturday with a demo/make-it-and-take-it thrown in for good measure this morning.

I am SO not cut out for working that much. It makes me tired. And I feel totally unable to manage my household with any sort of consistency.

Add to that the fact that this is the week that all the school variety show rehearsals come to critical mass - with two early morning dress rehearsals.

Oh - and the school newspaper is due this week.

Calgon - take me away!!!

Asia's taking me out to dinner tonight. That will be good. Love date night.

I'm so thankful that my job is generally one where I'm only at work a couple of days a week. I realize this is a luxury. I'm so grateful for my husband's job, which provides for us and frees me up to be a nearly full-time caretaker of our home. I cannot take this for granted. I know I am very blessed.

Thank you Jesus, that you give us everything we need. And that I can concentrate on being a Mom and a wife and taking care of our home. Thank you that You sustained me this week. You give me strength - and a sense of humor - and so many blessings. Amen.

    I was just talking about 'managing the home' and working this morning. And thinking about it made my head hurt. I love that you point me to the Lord in so many ways :)

    Hey Cathy-
    I worked 3.5 days this week and by thursday evening at 6:30 pm had fallen asleep on the couch after crying my eyes out... I only have 2 more weeks of covering for my friend's holiday and I have some time off for spring break, but whew, I am with you in the not knowing how to do both...I finally cooked Sunday night for the first time in 3 weeks. I too am thankful that I have not felt the need to work full-time in the last decade.
    I am off to Kez's school to meet with the teacher and try to clean my house before b&b guests on wednesday - and I work 3 days this week too....Father carry me!

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse. You read ...

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...
