Random Stuff About Me

If I had a billion dollars, I'd give a million to each of my friends and family. I'd have an indoor gym and pool built at my college. I'd pay for teachers aides at my daughter's school. I'd buy every book Nora Roberts ever wrote, and I'd fly to her next book signing so I could tell her thank you for saving my sanity by giving me an escape from reality for a few hours at a time.

    Got sidetracked.

    Finished the kitchen, did laundry, exercised, bought A bunk beds, rearranged her room, took her old bed into M's room- he'd been on a mattress on the floor since we moved in- he falls out of bed a lot.  Left hubby home assembling the bunk beds.   (Poor guy.)  Went to Wal-mart to buy new sheets for kids.  Came home with complete bedding sets for both of them.  Oops.  Finished assembling the bed- wrestling was on so hubby begged off.  (His friend Liem came over, anyway.)  Finally got all beds up and made.  Put foam mattress in floor next to M's bed so when he falls out it won't hurt him.  Came downstairs and did Liem's taxes.  Realized I never got around to updating from earlier.  Posted this.

    Next on the agenda: Going to bed.  Nite all.

    Staying home today.

    A wasn't feeling well when she woke up, and I have a million things to do around here, so I'm playing hooky.  Truth be told, I don't feel all that well myself... but the dishes and laundry need done nonetheless.  Maybe I can get a nap this afternoon.  (Hope hope hope.) 

    Just for my own amusement, I'm going to post my goals and then report back when I'm done.

    Goal #1- Wash dishes.

    Back in school.

     And back to work.  (Thank goodness.)  I was bored out of my mind staying home all day- especially since I had a bunch of stuff to do.  Motime is really slow, or else my computer is screwed up right now.  More post later maybe.

    Hello?

    Either I've contracted the plague or everyone is sleeping off the holidays. Nobody has been to visit my blog for ages!
