I never realized how tiring it is to sit at my desk all day long, doing nothing more than typing, editing and emailing, and taking breaks to take care of the four year old, do laundry, run the dishwasher, meet the school bus to get the 6 year old, feed the cat, pick up the house, fix lunch....
I.am. wiped.OUT.
Thankfully, it is raining outside, and has been rainging since Friday night. The baseball fields are big mud puddles. All of the Opening Day activities were cancelled on Saturday. Today's practices were cancelled. I know the games will be rescheduled, but for now, I'm grateful. I needed the relatively slow day!
It's almost midnight, and I still have a TON of work to do....headed back to work...miss you guys!!
***And in other, terribly important news, Kansas accomplished an upset in the final game of the NCAA Championship. The husband changed it from my movie so he could watch it, and promptly fell asleep again. The most unfair part? He WILL KNOW who won, and what the final score was...and he was SNORING! How does he do that?!?!***

Questions and Answers
From time to time people ask me questions or say things that I want to respond to, and I've been trying to figure out how to do that, so here is my attempt at that.
Becky at Lazy Daisy Log suggested we go out for coffee when she gets into town...Becky, I'm excited! We have no friends here yet, so going out with anyone will be the news of the week!!!
Sarah, at My Life With Boys told the story of her births...I just wanted to add...I have had 6 live births, only one of which was actually "on time"....only because the doctors scheduled an early C-section for my breach #1 child. The rest were 7 days late, 10 days late, 21 days late, 24 days late, and 25 days late. They were also HUGE....well, my early one was 7#7oz....and they went up from there...2 - 8 lbers, 2 - 9 lbers, and one that was 10# 3oz. Surprisingly, the 10lb one was one the easier births!
Melanie over at Monday through Sunday asked about our Brew Groups at church. I really enjoy our Brew Group...this is the 4th church that we've been in that has a similar thing, and we really like it. It has helped us make closer friends within the church, and has been helpful to be in a group of similar-minded, similar-aged people, dealing with similar problems, but able to come at things from different perspectives. The Mama over at Our Seven Qtpies mentions sending her sister over to visit...please, send her...if she's ready to ROCK at 10:00 on Sunday morning...because this church service defines CONTEMPORARY. I know that style is not for everyone, but we enjoy it....
Oh, and an update on my "Pins and Needles" post.....hubby arrived safely in Virginia around 7:00 pm on Tuesday, after driving for 3 long days. Thank you to everyone for your prayers! They are much appreciated! We are all glad to have hubby/daddy here!
Cynthia at Life is Good asked about my transcription work. I have only just started this week doing medical transcription, working through a service. For years I have tried to get into this, but it never worked...until now....God's timing in all things, I suppose....the services always wanted 2 years of in-office experience, which I don't have. I've done legal transcription in-office, but only took a class on medical terminology, and worked doing billing, and appointment setting in a medical setting. Now, I get my chance.....
Mike, over at Gunny's Gouge is threatening to take away my Girl Scout cookies....good thing you're clear across the country, Mike! Go find some poor, unsuspecting Girl Scout where you are! Oh, and by the way, don't you DARE get my husband in on the whole "What Not to Wear" thing!! One more thing....you remind me of my FIL, a retired Marine.....THAT is why I keep coming back for more!
Sallie, Mike's wife, asked if we still homeschool. Unfortunately, no. I miss homeschooling some days....mainly, I really miss the flexibility that homeschooling allows. I had to stop homeschooling after I went back to work full-time while we were in Montana. I found that it is VERY difficult to homeschool 4 children and work full-time overnights, and remain sane....never mind trying to clean house, cook meals, go to church....or even stay awake!!
Beth, I think you missunderstand me....I LOVE being back on the East Coast. We are now 30 hours closer to family. I love being in an area known for less harsh winters, and more humidity. While it is an adjustment, so is every move.
Okay, me thinks I have covered them all....hope everyone has a GREAT Sunday! I'm off to get ready to head out to our VERY contemporary, VERY rockin' church service!!

This and That
This is promising to be a crazy week. My transcription equipment arrived yesterday, and I ended up spending 3 hours on the phone with my brother, while he took over my computer, and cleaned off all of the "mean and nasties" off of it. Thank goodness for the ability to have someone work on it remotely!
Today, I tried to finish cleaning up the house....didn't get very far...because, it was also my first day actually working as a transcriptionist. Oh, and hubby gets here soon...he's hoping to get here by supper time. AND, the phone installation guy is here, trying to fix the MESS that the contractors made of the telephone lines. AND, the kids are doing homework. AND, they're supposed to be going to Chick-fil-A for supper, to raise money for their field trips. AND we're supposed to have our "Brew Group" tonight. I don't think we're going to make it to that one!
Hopefully things settle down a little more tomorrow!

Girl Scout Cookies!!!
| I'd forgotten that it was Cookie Time again. Without having a child in Girl Scouts this year, I lost track of when it was supposed to happen. So, a girl in the neighborhood showed up yesterday with the sale form. YIPPEE! I LOVE cookie time! The only time of year I can get my favorites....THIN MINTS!!! And hubby has to have his Tagalongs...and the Samoas for the oldest....yeah, we all have our favorites. In other news, I just talked to hubby...he's on the road, headed this way...FINALLY! YIPPEE!!! He hopes to arrive here in Virginia on Wednesday. Please pray for his safety on the roads! And, finally, my equipment arrives tomorrow, so I can start working from home, doing transcription work. I am excited to get started. |
