Well, so far so good... but it's only the first day. I got up at 5 am and got them off to school, but it's going to take a while before I adjust to this routine...

I know, I know, I said I didn't want 'em in school, but I need a break. The baby's gotten very demanding, and they WANT to go to school SO badly... I figure it can't hurt to let 'em go for a while. Maybe I can even get a part time job and earn a little dough?

Well, mission accomplished. Today was a tough day, but I made it through it. I had to go have a test for carpal tunnel syndrome... and I took my two youngest boys along because on the way back we went for their certified teacher evaluations so that they can be placed properly in (gasp... dare I say it?) school.

We went to the park (Greynolds Park) today. It was SO hot! I forgot to put my hair up... by the time we left I was DRIPPING! I gotta remember to put my hair up and wear a cutoff sleeveless shirt next time!

Ken Brevett called today... I haven't heard much from him in ages. He found me online by doing a web search on his own name, which he found on my song explanations page, where I mentioned that he had asked me to write a song about brotherhood, and the result was my song "Family". After he emailed me the first time, I got a second email from him, then today he called. He said he's going to come by here and visit next Saturday. I hope so! It will be nice to see him!

Bob just left for work... but tomorrow night and Saturday night he's off. We are SO broke! I think I had better find some work, unless God grants us a complete miracle in our finances!

I let Frankie go out of town today with his girlfriend on a church-sponsored trip to Universal's "Islands of Adventure". I hope Jo (his gf) took her camera along! They should be back in Hollywood in about an hour, and hopefully home not too long after that.

I haven't been getting online very much lately... I mean, I usually get on every day, but only for an hour or so, not enough time to keep up.

I think I'm gonna write that song I've been thinking about for years... "I'd rather be a widow than a divocee" (if he drops dead, don't look at me)

I'm also sick of the way Bob hogs the bed so that I have to wake him up if I want to get into it. If I wake him up, he wants to hold onto me like a teddy bear, and frankly, I can't stand that. I wish he worked 7 days a week, sometimes, just so I could go to bed at night and sleep.

Frank's FINALLY getting around to mopping the floors tonight... so I suppose I'm in his way... oh well. I'm not real happy about still being up, either.

Once again, Bob's off work in the middle of the week... and we're broke. What pisses me off is that they called and said he could come into work tonight if he wanted to and he said no.

Wow... I haven't been here in a while. Good sign how out of control my life has gotten... ugh.

I didn't get online at all yesterday... it was such a busy day! We went to church, then I had a lot to do to get Joey off to camp... plus I cooked twice. Today I had to get up early to get Joey off to camp, and I don't feel like doing my housework, so I'm avoiding it by being online. Surprise, surprise...

The baby is very demanding, and I haven't been feeling well lately, either.

I am having a hard time getting online for any length of time lately... gotta make some changes soon!

I hate it when he's online all night long, then still hangs out on the computer in the morning, playing stupid games. In fact, I hate relinquishing the computer to any of the rest of my family members, because all ANY of them do is play stupid games. What a waste of time. Meanwhile, I never have time to catch up on all my email.

I'll be glad when Bob goes back to work.

The whole family is getting on my nerves... they were all in the living room, except for Sarah... making noise, so I couldn't concentrate to read... now they've finally all dissipated.

Still working on getting over the cough, and sniffling a bit... but I think Selena's all better.
