Unexpected surprise!!! A Day Off!! I'm so excited because I really don't like working Fridays. Now I realize that most of the world work on Fridays or at least a five day work week. But I work long hours and usually put in over 40 hours in just 4 days. So having Friday off is a much needed thing. SO... I need to make a list or nothing will get done. Housework first then hopefully some scrapbooking.

Life has been hectic both at work and home. Trying to get a new software system up and running has been a long, arduous process. Not much frustration with it - just ALOT of work. At home its just constant running. Everyone going in different directions and absolutely NO FAMILY TIME in a long time. As much as I love watching football, it consumes our life beginning in the summer because we have one playing high school football. My husband just laughs because he knows I just don't "get it" but I don't understand why the coaches make the kids eat and breathe football. Our head coach is, quite frankly, excessively unfair and sometimes mean. My son chose to attend a week long Christian Youth Conference during summer practice and had to endure the punishment and ridicule of missing practice when he got back. All this from a coach that "preaches" God, Family, School, Football. No, I don't understand that.

There's so much more going on..... but I must get started on my list so I can scrapbook later.

I didn't realize that its been almost a month since I've posted something. Life has been a little hectic lately. Everyone is finally back in school. 2 in high school and 4 in college (including hubby). I'm the only one not in school.... just trying to get everyone to do their homework.

Work has been busy and a little.... not quite sure what the best word is... disappointing? maybe? I work with a great bunch of people but lately there has been an issue with a particular girl that I have actually known and worked with for 12 years. She has been extremely nosy about every little aspect of my life and quite frankly, its getting on my nerves. I love her to death, but when she is opening up folded pieces of paper on my desk and reading them its a little annoying. I'm beginning to have a really bad attitude about the whole thing and that really bothers me. I'm searching for the answers to handle it the way God wants me to. I don't say anything ugly or anything.... its just my daily attitude. I know she is having some financial issues and has had some bad luck but also made some bad decisions in that area, so I'm trying to be understanding but its hard. My hubby says she's just jealous - maybe, but there's no reason to be. But I'm praying really hard every day - all day sometimes - to work on my stinky attitude.
