I feel like a 10,000 pound weight has been lifted off my shoulders. The first person I've let have the tiniest sneak peek of my book loved it. I believe having chills reading one of the entries was mentioned as well. Just the motivation I needed to finishing typing it all up and send to the publisher this weekend. This project has been brutal on me emotionally and spiritually. There's nothing like leaving your heart and soul on pages for everyone to dissect. It's like my own perso...

I got a job! So very exciting. 24 hours a week at a local coffee shop. Even better, Dh agreed to allow outside classes for Ds. Piano, Omnibus, and Lukeion will start in a year. There are no words for how thankful I am.

But I don't want to leave warm and sunny Florida!

Ahhhhh, Florida in January!

I feel like I'm drowning in books! Moving is hard work!!

We are out of coffee creamer. NOOOOO!!!!!

Vent: Apparently it's unreasonable to expect a person to acknowledge receiving a Christmas gift, let alone say thanks.

My son got into a college! I guess this homeschooling thing works after all...

Planned a get togther, cleaned the house, made some cookies, and I don't think anyone is going to come. Discouraging!

If you agree in August to help with an event in November, do not cancel a few weeks before the event! Oh my goodness...

The Boy has a third interview with the company he really wants to work for! He feels no pressure because he already has a job offer from his second choice :)

Trying to be a better person, but really---volunteering for 2 different things both weekend days when you said you'd help me? Sigh.

I hit the tri: full day of school, a clean house and a cooked dinner!

A wreck shutting down the highway making my dd's 1 hr commute a 2 hr one. I hate rural living.

Why does my profile only have one star? I don't think I've said anything mean or hurtful or...

Why does food that's bad for you taste so good? Sigh.

Decluttering is hard, hard work!

Our cat has gone missing. Barely slept last night worrying.

We're leaving for China in the morning---talk about a field trip!! See you all in two weeks :)

I have the entire day to myself and will be finished with everything I must do by 1.

Ds was hit by a red light runner this am--car totaled, ds shaken up. TG he's okay, though!

Eldest got the editing job! Wow, a job that actually uses his film degree!

just bought tickets for dh birthday--Ringo Starr! for the man who is soooo hard to buy for...

INlaws just dropped in and the house was a mess! Clean dishes all over the counter from last nights washing, dirty dishes on both sides of sink, kitchen furniture out on the back porch so I could mop, fair project debris for 5 projects covering every flat surface in kitchen, living room trashed with toys, cards etc. After they left, I had a good cry.

I turned 40 today. There were some unexpected tears on my part.
