Okay, this is what I don't like about working. It is not the work, that has been somewhat challenging because I am having to learn Excell and everything else pertaining to my task at hand. But, The Supervisor is very patient and encouraging with me. It is not the people. I really enjoy working with the office manager and of course Susan, one day a week. It is not even the time. During the day, although I was never at a loss for something to do at home when I was not working, most of the time I can get the routine tasks accomplished. What I hate about working is the weekend and all that there is to do and only two days to get it done....the big things! And yet, the reality of that is this. Whatever is happening on the weekends happens on the weekends anyway and would not be any different if I was not working! Still....for some reason this play with my mind and I feel like there is soooo much to do and no time to do it.
I miss talking with Lizardbreath everyday...or almost everyday. Once I get to work I am so focused on what I am doing that I don't take breaks and rarely eat lunch away from my workstation. Don't get me wrong, it is not that I am not allowed to...that is just the way I am wired. Once I get started on a project...I do not like to quit until it is finished.
Then when I get home, I have been away from the routine of things there and am almost paralyzed by the "being out of the loop", so to speak. No one cares of course, it is just me and trying to adjust to the working world again.
It has been nice having Eve at the house. Although their lives are as busy as ours, especially with the Volleyball Player and her schedule as of late. But Eve is there during the day homeschooling the three youngest and does the laundry and cooking....if any of us is home to be cooked for....at least those are two things I don't have to do. But, if I did have to do them...I could manage.
For instance...right now, I need to clean house....I mean, really clean....de-hair the place. But, I have a Women's Ministry tea to go to in about an hour and should be getting ready right now. By the time it is over...I won't want to clean house. Then today, Thor went to Fayetteville for the Bikers, Bar-B-Q, and Bluegrass Festival with the Men's Ministry and although I don't generally enjoy going on bike rides that involve a great deal of highway driving, I kind of considered going,... but had the women's thing I signed up for, committed to and "should" and will go to. And then, one of our Single's, Reba, invited me to go to the Owasso Band Invitational with her tonight to see the band march exhibition. That I will do as well, but it doesn't even start until 10:00 P.M. On top of all that... I need to be reading my Lambs Bible Study book and doing the journal questions and paying bills. None of these take all my time, but they do take some time and together.... they equal all my time. Logically....I will always do something with my time...so why not all these things?
So why does this all mess with my mind? Who knows, but it does. How do men deal with this all the time?!....It just goes to show that God created men and women differently. I doubt that they ever even give things like this a thought.
And what am I doing here writing this when I should be getting ready...or I will be late! I am too busy to blog....Gotta go....Later!

CHA-CHING!
For those of you who are too young to remember....this is all Doogie Houser's fault...all this blogging! Doogie Houser was young doctor, just a boy really. He graduated from High School at too young an age and then attended medical school graduating at the top of his class. But genius had nothing to do with how he related to the world socially so he suffered the same things that "normal" teenagers did. He would come home from his work at the hospitol and put his words to computer keys and keep track of his daily thoughts and happenings much like most teenagers did in diaries or journals. So...here we are.
I have been contemplating this blog thing for awhile, but just today finally decided to make it a reality.
Much of life is changing right now, so why not try some new things along with all the other changes.
I don't really like change very much. They say that becomes more common the older you get, and I suppose it is true. I like routine, status quo, the way things used to be. And yet, one of my favorite quotes is, "If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got!" That means if you don't want what you always got....you have to change!
So, change we do. Right now, Thor, the love of my life, is going through change on his job. What he is doing he has done before, but not for almost a decade. At first, when he told me he felt like an old dinosaur and would have to learn "how to" all over again I thought he was being silly. Until I was interviewing for jobs after 16 years and had to learn "how to" all over again. He was not being silly at all. He was being honest. There is a great deal of difference in approaching a task when you are fresh out of college and ready to take on the world idealistically and doing so when you are aware of reality. But...I am happy to say, Thor has come through with flying colors, as I knew he would, and doing a great job...at his "new" old job!
Our son, the Bohemian, has just taken a new job assignment in a new town. He has been struggling with living without his family until they can sell their house or at least rent it and move to his new location with him. It has been difficult and is getting really tiresome after five months. But, there does seem to be some parting of the clouds. The Bohemian, the Busy Bee, Mr. Golden Curls, and the Lil' Spitfire are all looking forward to the one change that will bring them all under one roof!
Our daughter, Lizardbreath, and her husband, the Rock have just returned home after being gone for nearly a month attending a business convention in Nevada and visiting Thor and I in Oklahoma. Today they are having a Princess Birthday Party for The Princess. She will be six on Tuesday! That does not seem possible. And yet another change is occuring....we are not able to be there! This is the first birthday we have missed for any of our 6 grandchildren....and I hope it will be the last. But gas prices and the fact that I will be leaving for Colorado with Tickle Sister on Tuesday made the trip impractical, especially since they were just here last week. But, we called her today and the Princess said it was alright, she got the present we sent her.
Well, time for another change. I must leave this computer and go keep Thor company....I know he is just waiting for me to add conversation and comments to his television viewing pleasure.....What?!
