Well, I really ought to be in bed right now, but it's so quiet & peaceful with everyone sleeping!  I've barely had 1 minute to myself, so...I'm catching up with things at work.  Finally  got to my...

I don't know...church is usually a good place for me, but lately we've been going thru a transition (our pastor is retiring).  And the ugliness is coming out.  Even things that folks say that...

omigosh...It's been crazy busy at work today.  No sooner do I set something down (if I even get that far), then someone wants something else of me.  I'm only 1 person!  I even had to put someone...

Super, super busy at work lately...that's where I usually update this journal!  But things are coming together, at least for today! My son lied to me the other day about handing in his homework. ...

Went to my son's school's open house tonight.  He seems to have good teachers & some good support systems in place, even outside the PPT.  His German teacher even said she saw a change in him from...

Well, yesterday we had the “beginning of the year” PPT for my son to review where we’ve been & where we’re going. Good news is that he’s done well on his speech/language evaluation. It...

We had a free wellness screening at work today:  height, weight, BP, cholesterol, etc testing.  Everything was in the normal range (except for glucose, but that's because I ate that morning--we...

Took the dog on a much-needed hike yesterday (with the kids).  May not have been the best idea.  Well, it was a good idea with not a great outcome.  He somehow slipped out of his "gentle leader" &...

Well, it’s the 2nd day of school today for both kids. My son had asked me to make breakfast for the 1st day, so I did—scrambled eggs in a hole! He was in pretty good spirits & was ready to leave...

I have to say, it's been nice the past couple of weeks with no summer school & no where to shuttle the kids to.  But that, too, must come to an end. The kids start next Thursday.  I'm hoping,...

That's how I feel about life at this very moment.  There are certain tasks to accomplish, and things to do.  But overall, things feel like they're on the path they should be, and I'm happy with...

Came back from vacation & as I reviewed the mail, I saw a letter from the High School.  I opened it up and...he got a C!  (I never thought I'd be so happy for a C!)We had a nice time.  My son...

I've calmed down a little bit, realizing that--really--there isn't much more I can do about the debt issue.  I really am doing all I can to the best of my ability.  Like the Serenity Prayer says,...

Worrying about the credit cards & how the heck to pay them off, so had a tough time sleeping last night.  I have to remember that as bad as it is, it isn't as bad as it could be, and I'm more able...

The other night, for the first time in well over a year, my son & I had a good heart-to-heart talk before bed.  He's worried about passing summer school.  I tried my best to encourage him & show...
