Life is Strange

Did you ever walk through mud or trudge through snow and you have to push to get through? You know like leaning forward against the wind and push to keep going? Thats how I feel. With everything I do, I feel like its uphill and I have to push through it. Was is that? Do I feel that life is a struggle? I have really good moments and then I'm climbing uphill again. Its like an emotional roller coaster of sorts. I know its not realistic to expect to be on the high end all the time (unless you are doing some really good drugs), but I have been observing other people lately and wondering what their lives are like. What they are really like and do they ever feel what I am feeling. Lets take a look at my life, shall we?

Work - work is good. My supervisor likes me (alot) and I like her too, I like her work ethic and they way she puts the patients first above all things, I like her values. I made a friend at work, and since I am BLUE we all know how important that is. She lived in West Virginia unitl she was about 8 or 9 but still has her accent, not real strong but its there and I love it. I was off sick and she came up to the desk and said "wheres my girl". She is alot of fun, and helps me keep things in perspective. I am starting to car pool on Monday with my sister to save on gas, it should work out fine. I leave the house at about 6:30 and get home about 6:30. Sometimes a little earlier, depends on traffic. Its a long day, go to bed by 9 or I'm dead the next day.
Oh, the sweet girl I work with is relaxing a little and not being quite as sweet. I expected that and its nothing I can't handle.

Daughter - just left to go back to school. I drove through a snow storm to bring her home to see a friends play that ended up being cancelled, but thats ok because she had a sinus infection and double ear infections and her daddy took her to the doctor. We patched her up and sent her back. She will be home in two weeks for spring break. Surprisingly enough she wanted to stay with us longer, she misses us "just a little". Ha, the truth finally comes out.

Son - I don't have the energy to even begin. Well he'll be at church Wed, Fri, Sat and Sun for the next 6 weeks, at least we will know where to find him.

Husband - we're good. on the same page most of the time. Trying to have a social life, but I cracking down on spending so thats a little tough. We need something to do besides clean, do laundry, grocery shop....oh those are things I do hmmm. (in all fairness he washes his own work clothes) He did snow blow the drive twice yesterday. We are making a to do list so we can finish some of the things in the house that didn't get completed during the remodeling adventure.

So thats my life. I cleaned around my desk and threw out a whole garbage bag full of junk and I still can't see the top of my desk. Its crap piling up everyday, I must not be pruging fast enough. my house is dirty, I can't keep up and some days just don't care cause I'm too tired. Ok, so I am going to make a list of things to do and check them off, and maybe that will help.

1.) find all new doctors and make appts because I now work for the World Renowned Cleveland Clinic where everyone deserves world class care.

2) Taxes, oh yeah I need to remind the hubby, that is his job, oh and Fafsa. I've only mentioned this several times.

3.) Clean, I will run the vacuum today, maybe that will help. oh and do laundry. I cleaned the bathroom yesterday and grocery shopped in a blizzard. stores were empty it was great. oh and meal planned because lent is here and all I will hear is whats to eat.

4) organize my desk so I can function in an orderly manner and go through junk mail daily. somewhere between 6:30 and 9 inbetween making dinner and telling son he cannot drive to Olmsted Falls on a school night.

5) shop for a baby gift for some very special people who are having a baby!

6) Find my tom tom, yes its still missing.

7) Get Justines car in for an oil change and saftey inspection so she can take it back to school for spring quarter. She needs to be able to get home for Pascha.

I am sure there is more, but thats enough for now. Well I better start trudging so I can get done by dinner and forgiveness vespers. Oh and please forgive me if I have offended you, or whined too much, or ignored you when you needed me, or........
