Horribly remiss.. if you missed me
I know I have severely neglected my blog in the last few months. Life has a way of getting in the way. You know.
So, a Sunday morning list:
1) S is doing really well, adjusting to a huge life change with surprising grace. She's a 17-year-old. It's surprising grace for a 17-year-old, all right? But she's doing okay.
2) I have taken up running with her, to help her stay motivated and to help me work off some aggression and stress. It's working.. but I feel like I've spent the weekend in a meat grinder. I am most definitely NOT 17 anymore.
3) I'm learning a lot about boundaries (and lack thereof) both at work and in my personal life right now. It amazes me how far people will go when they think no one will stop them. Wow.
4) I'm almost finished with a major project, almost ready to start graduate school (Wednesday!) and officially promoted at work. Lots going on, for sure. L is handling all of this remarkably well, though date night seems to have become a casualty. I suggested a little date several times this week, to be met with the Look. You know the Look. The Look says I have work to do, I have been taxi-ing our new pet all over town, and I am tired, Leave me alone. So yeah. Next week, though.. and no arguments will be tolerated. (lol)
So now I'm off to work on this project for a few more hours, and hopefully finish another portion before AC comes over to take a look at it.

I'm Too Busy-- The List
The list is out of control!
1) It's Sunday. I worked all day on the major project i have for work. It isn't done yet. Next week, hopefully it will be.
2) I haven't done my yoga today. I can tell.
3) S starts cross country tomorrow. Yeehaw! Hopefully she will be starting school on the 19th with the rest of the kids..
4) I know someone who is getting a promotion. :-) State paperwork is slow, though.
5) S is talking on the phone in the bathroom. I would rather have died than do that when I was 17. Oh well. Times change, I guess.
Well so much for the rest of the list.
