Calgon.....(you know the rest!)

What a crazy few days it has been here in our household. It started when I lost 6 hours of my work on Saturday, causing me to have to stay up until 3:30 Saturday night and 2:30 Sunday night to meet my Monday morning deadline. Lack of sleep and PMS....not a good combination!

Then, we have had to close preschool two days this week due to lack of heat. Parents are getting a little testy, and my board members are less than understanding. The state requires we have the room at 65.....it was barely 55. They will shut us down if we have kids there and the temps are that low....not much choice in the matter!

I need a hot bath, a drink, and a nap....not necessarily in that order!

Winter has arrived

Snow....no, but the winter temperatures are here at last. Not that I missed them, the 50's were fine. If it is going to be cold, it might as well snow though. (Remind me I said that when we get a blizzard in April!) The boys got new sleds for Christmas and some cool snowball makers so they are anxious for some of the white stuff. I did not miss having to scrape my windows in the morning and would much rather take my preschool gang outside to play instead of being stuck indoors. Makes those quick trips to the bank and store much more unpleasant too!

Rain, rain...go away!

We have had 4 inched of rain over the last 4 days. Way too much for the creek to handle and our yard now has a river running through it. Thankfully, the basement didn't flood this time....a little water, but nothing major. They just said that had it been snow we would have had 36+ inches! I would settle for 3-4! The boys have new sleds they are wanting to try.....just no snow!

Looks like we will finally get some winter temperatures this week....just none of the white stuff!

Work....work....work!

I have a freelance deadline in a few weeks and I so can not get myself motivated to work on it. I started out by dividing up the lessons so I knew how many I had to do a night to be done on time, and now......5 days later I have yet to complete 2 days worth of lessons. Man, this stuff is so boring!

Preschool work is mounding too. Registration time is upon us and there is much to do. We are attending a Preschool fair and I have to get together pamphlets and registration packets by the 20th. And of course my deadline is the 25th. So, instead of working that Saturday I will be at the Fair and at basketball games. I must be nuts! Why can't I say no! I really need to learn to delegate more responsibility to my board members if I am going to keep my sanity through the rest of the school year!

Sad day in Buckeye Country

Wow, that was a miserable way to spend a Monday night! We got absolutely embarassed by Florida. Not sure who that team was, but it surely was not the same Buckeye team I watched all season. The only good that came of it was I got the 9-year old to bed earlier since there was no chance of a come back!

I feel so badly that the seniors left on this note. They are a great group and just blew it last night. They handled defeat well and did not complain or offer excuses.....all class like their coach! I am still forever a Buckeye fan and we don't rebuild....we reload!

Buckeyes Big Game

I am having a hard time concentrating on work....my Bucks play in the big game tomorrow and I am getting a little nervous. My friend Heidi is coming to watch with us....like she has for all of their big games. She was here when we won in 2003, when we beat Michigan more than once....so our track record is pretty good! Should be a great one and I am looking for at least a 7 point win!

Go Bucks!

Blog Beginning

Well, I am joining the blogging revolution. I am on the computer a lot for work, so figured....why not! I often lay in bed at night with mumblings in my head, and maybe this will get them out of my head so I can get more sleep. And with two active boys, there are always stories to tell and rants to list!
