Rambling On

I have to tell you all that having two kids home on school vacation has really thrown a crimp into my routine. This past week I have not been able to get much accomplished and I blame this totally on having the children around. So I really need to figure out a better schedule to get things done. This week I had so many plans on what I would get accomplished and honestly the only thing I managed to get done was purchase some discount shades. I’ve got to get some sort of schedule worked out otherwise not a lot will get done this coming summer.

Well the countdown is on. Friday afternoon the kids will be out of school for their summer vacation. What this means for me is that in two and a half day’s time, I will have a couple of kids home for a couple of months and will get the pleasure of listening to them fight every day. If things go the way they normally do with these two kids, by the end of the summer I will be looking at some Branson vacation packages just to recharge my batteries. Oh well, it’s going to happen so I’m just going to enjoy my last few days of peace to the fullest.

My daughter is just finishing up grade 6 and we just found out that she made the honor roll! Thursday night is her awards dinner so she will be receiving her certificate then. I guess now I’ll have to find one of our digital cameras to be able to take some pictures at this event. I am so proud of her! She worked really hard all year and I am quite happy to see all her efforts pay off this way. I can’t wait to see her on Thursday night receive her certificate!

I’m happy to report that I made it through my husband’s week at home! It was such a long… week. This man is definitely a man who needs to be at work. If he’s not working, he gets bored. And when he gets bored, he agitates. When he agitates me, he drives me crazy and I can’t get anything done. I didn’t do much general transcription last week or even finish the articles on asbestos mesothelioma that I was supposed to write about. He just wouldn’t let me work. But today he went back to work so I plan on getting a lot done today. All I have to say is thank god today is Monday!

It’s been quite a long week already and it’s only Wednesday. My husband is home on holidays and he is driving me crazy! For the past four days it has been raining so he hasn’t been able to go outside to do stuff. So he’s stuck in the house and is bored. And when he’s bored, he bugs. This is a man that absolutely needs to work! Thankfully he only took a week off this time. This gives me a couple of weeks to recuperate from his week off before the kids are home for the summer.

Since the weather outside is so crappy I think I may do a little bit of spring cleaning today. My bathroom could use a thorough clean especially the cupboards and cabinets. I have some expired womens vitamins that needs to be tossed and I know for a fact I have some old towels which I could throw away as well. Cleaning the bathroom is definitely not my idea of a fun day, but with nothing else to do I may as well get that done and out of the way.

Well as you can see our plans for family fun day today didn’t happen. Not only is it pouring rain and supposed to continue on like this for the rest of the day, but… my husband got called into work as well. Heck… I’ve got nothing to do today. Maybe I’ll get started on my diet pills that work articles that are due for Wednesday. I really didn’t want to do anything today on the computer, but being stuck in the house all day I may as well do something.
