Laundry

Does anyone else get as sick of laundry as I do? It's never ending. Even with Brandon gone to college, I still do about 12-15 loads a week! It would be nice if the kids could wear their school clothes to work, but Kaleb has to wear WHITE button-down shirts, and Kaitlin has to wear shirts with collars. Since she's strictly a t-shirt girl, we bought her polo shirts & turtlenecks for work. Just adds more laundry!!!

Corby headed to OK this morning. Charles is nearing the end, and must have 24 hour care. Corby is on vacation next week, and Hospice will be there Monday to help find a place for him - that is if he lasts until Monday. I talked to Corby tonight, and Charles is mostly out of it, not eating or drinking, and is down to one lung functioning. I'm guessing his kidneys will start shutting down soon, so it's only a matter of time. I wish I could be there for Corby, but the week coming up is my busiest week of the year, so I need to be at work. I don't think we will have much of a Thanksgiving this year.

Finally picked up my book from hold at the library. It was "You've Been Warned" by James Patterson. I'm finishing "Between Sundays" by one of my favorite Christian authors, Karen Kingsbury, tonight; so I'll start the JP book tomorrow.

And our quote of the day is: "The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach for the heart is wise." -- Maya Angelou

I've avoided laundry all weekend. Since it's almost 9 o'clock Sunday night I really need to start a load. But I only do an average of about 5 loads a week! The advantage to just one person in the house :-)

Sorry to hear that Charles is going downhill so quickly. May he go peacefully and quickly (so he doesn't suffer).

I hate laundry. You know, I don't mind doing the laundry, but I am terrible about putting it away. I also hate pairing socks. Justin is really good about helping with laundry, but man my clothes are full of wrinkles when he does.

I'm also sorry about Charles. You may not have much of a Thanksgiving dinner, but you will have a meaningful Thanksgiving. Be thankful that you had Charles your family's life. Be thankful he has you in his life. Be thankful Hospice is there to help ease the pain and make the transition and little better. Be thankful that he will no longer suffer. You will be in my thoughts.

Isn't This Gross?

Corby lets Muffin drink out of his milk glass. Isn't that disgusting? I love animals, but I sure don't share my drinks with them. YUCK! Brandon will be home tomorrow - on his 19th birthday! His last final is at 12:30. Corby & Kaleb are headed up to help him bring his stuff home. I was planning on going, but because Hope is out on medical leave, I can't take off. That's okay - I really wasn't looking forward to carrying his stuff down 7 flights of stairs! YIPPEE - MY BABY IS COMING HOME FOR THE SUMMER! Does anyone else out there love "House Hunters" - the show on HGTV? For some reason, that show grabs me. I like to see the 3 houses the couples (sometimes singles) choose from. Of course, most of them have a lot more money than we do! Saw one last night that was a young couple in Chicago - lived in the inner city, but with 2 kids decided to move to the suburbs. Their goal was to find a house for under $1,000,000. That a million dollars folks! How can peop...

Terrible Day

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here, but suffice it to say that I had a TERRIBLE day at work! I made a huge mistake costing the company some revenue, and I feel awful! I certainly didn't need anyone to get on my butt, because I was kicking myself for the better part of the day. I know, I know, I'm human, but this was a BIG human mistake! I hate to admit that I'm human! HATE TO MAKE MISTAKES - ESPECIALLY BIG ONES! Okay, that's it. I'm having a margarita and trying to relax now. I'm done with being human for a while!
