Reflections

Sometimes, when life gets too busy or overwhelming in some way, I look back and think about what it used to be like.  It used to be nice not to have to work any Saturdays.  People don't "get" that when you work a partial day on a Wed. or Sat., by the time you get home and get something to eat for your lunch, the afternoon is half over.  You still had to get up early and "be there" at a certain time.  No sleeping in for you.  You find yourself getting so tired that when you are home you don't want to do anything but chill, which isn't really good for you either.  Yeah...bankers hours, they are great!  It is a reminder that until you walk in someone else's shoes....YOU don't know.  I guess we all need to vent sometimes.

Sunday Again

It's Sunday again and it's been a full day.  I went to church this morning and spent the afternoon in the pool.  It was really too hot for anything else.  I don't take the heat real well unless I'm in the water.  I got to see my Granddaughter which is always a big plus.  She is so sweet!  I totally enjoy her.  She is growing so fast I can barely believe it. 

This summer is just flying by.  How is it possible that they seem to go faster every year?  It seems we cram so much into each day.  There are many things I'd like to do  but either don't have the time or am too tired to do them.  (sigh)

Mondays aren't my favorite of days.  In fact, I seem to hate them and my mood usually reflects it.  I think it's the resentment I feel for having given up on the remainder of the "to do" list once more.  The list gets pushed back for another week. Ugh!  Maybe some day.....

Back to Work

Vacation is over and it's back to work.  What do I wake up to?  RAIN!  I apologize to the farmers but I'm tired of it.  It all depends on how you look at it, huh.  A farmer wants the rain when a person on a limited vacation wants sunshine.  You win some and you lose some.  I lost this one.  Better luck next time.  I guess I'll have to have a day off here and there and hope I hit a good day!

She Thinks She's One of Us

About a year ago, we added a new member to our household. She's a dog but she thinks she is one of us with the same privelages. That is, she thinks that even when we eat, she gets to eat. She was just little when my son and his fiance' brought her home.   Now a year later, she has become a much loved member of our family.  When her owners are gone, she stays with "Grandma and Granpa"..lol

Vacation

I have been on vacation since last Thursday.  It has rained most days.  I had hoped to spend a lot of time in my backyard pool but that didn't happen.  I have one more day.  I have gotten a lot of other things done but am generally disappointed in the time off.  I know we needed rain but I didn't need that many days of it. 

Since I last wrote, I have become a Grandmother.  It's awesome.  A little baby girl named Rory has come into our lives and blessed us.  She is so sweet! I also have a new car.  New to me anyway.  It's a 2012 but just like new.  Very nice!  I wasn't crazy about another car payment but we were starting to put money into the other one and I needed dependability in my transportation. 

I really love being home, rain or not.  That's the truth.  I never run out of things to do.  That's what makes working so frustrating. I never have enough time to get it all done. 

What I do tomorrow remains to be seen.  It depends solely on the weather.  Can I get some sunshine?  Stay tuned...
