Well, hmmm, here I am again. What's it been, 10 or 11 days? Anything different? Um, no. Crazy room parents are killing me. CRAZY Well, anyway, the picture is a little happy happy joy joy isn't it. That's Caroline in 2001. Cute as can be, I think.

Is this for anything other than complaining?

So, a few days into this blogging thing and I'm starting to think this is a good place to complain to no one in particular. Is it good for anything else? Don't know.

So, after a major fiasco at a meeting yesterday the parent involved is not letting it go. I get it. I'm an idiot. I do one thing she doesn't like, and I'm going to have to pay for it forever, I guess. Ugh.

Meanwhile, my husnamd is an idiot. How many times do I have to tell him that I just can't handle his sister being pregnant? And, now he's all excited about buying her unborn child a TMX for Christmas. Does he just not get it. I can't stand it.

So...I should read my Bible or something I think...because all those folks ooohing about journaling probably mean it as a reaction to Bible reading, right? Not just pure venting? UGh.

This sort of sucks.

It's 1:15 am...why am I still awake? Dom is working overnights and Caroline is at Walt's. Sort of sucks to be home alone...lonely...quiet.

I'm not sleeping because I'm avoiding waking up. I have to wrap up plans for the 2nd grade Halloween party on Tuesday. I have to get Brownies moving. I have to write 2 reports. I have 3 appointments tomorrow...none of which I particularly care to go to. Sort of sucks.

I remember about 6 1/2 years ago when I was pregnant with Caroline and I planned to stay home mostly...and work maybe 5 hours a week or something. HA!! The best laid plans, right? How bad did I screw things up by divorcing Walt??? I'm better as a person, for sure. But at what cost...financially it's pretty much wrecked me even all these years later. Caroline is going to have to spend the rest of her life bouncing back and forth between us. How bad is that for a kid???? Sort of sucks.

Bad day at work....15 years of dealing with families in shambles has taken its toll. Why do they have to be mean when I make a mistake?? Jeez...Too freaking emotional today for me. I need to find something else, I think. If only I could really follow the calling of my heart. Unfortunately, the calling of Caroline's and Dom's stomaches is louder. Sort of sucks.

I guess I should go to sleep now...have to face tomorrow eventually, right? Sort of sucks.

Well, look at this...I can post a photo...pretty cool...

That's my daughter Caroline who turned 7 last week. In this photo she had just had her face painted at Epcot in Disney World last month.

Do I need a blog?

Well, hmmmm...lookie lookie, I have a blog. I'm not entirely sure I need a blog. But, I created one for two reasons...1) Last night at Bible Study we talked about journaling as a form of spiritual growth and all the ladies ooooed and ahhhhhed about how great that is. So, I said to myself, you must need a blog. 2) I was one one the message boards I frequent (disboards.com) and saw a post about getting a free pair of pearl earrings if you put a link on your blog. It does seem clearer now that I need a blog, right?

So, what do I actually DO with one? I am having a very boring day, which is a good thing, considering my typical days. I already have dinner in the slow cooker (I'm a good mommy, huh?) and have emailed the troop about upcoming girl scout activities AND have emailed all the 2nd grade parents about the Halloween party.

I can't seem to find the remote and I'm too lazy to get up off my rear to look for it so ESPN is on the TV. THAT is boring!!!

After school we're going to buy a new winter coat because it is freaking cold here already (Phila. suburbs). No, really, that's the most exciting thing that's going to happen today. :sigh:

Hmmmmm...maybe I have nothing to blog afterall...
