Ah, A new Phase
Munchkin ROLLED her eyes at me. Tonight. She's FIVE. Not fifteen. Not seventeen. Not thirteen. FIVE.
Ah, the joys of being of an age when you still don't recognize mortal danger when it's staring you in the face.
*YAWN* I am so amazingly tired. The roof is fine. The package is here (it's REALLY cool - score, Dad.) and I'm fading faster than a spray on tan.
Do you realize this is the FOURTH post this week? And it's only Tuesday! Whoo hoo!
I think I'll call it a night, folks.

It WAS a Misunderstanding
The contractor has the package. He said to me, as I was calming down about the water, "ma'am, by the way, I have your package." He said that they worked until dark and I still wasn't home yet (I had a board meeting). He said he was afraid that if I didn't see the notice and left it out, something would happen to it. So, he put it in his truck to bring to me today.
I thought that was nice of him. *sigh* There is still good in the world. *laugh*
Have a soggy day!

Is it Raining Out There?
OH my, what a mess. Mother hired a contractor to re-shingle my roof. They got most of the old shingles torn off and the roof started, but they didn't get finished. Thinking the rain was going to pass by (as the forecast said), they figured they'd finish today. Well, at 3am this morning, I was awakened by the very unpleasant sound of thunder. When I got up, I thought I heard water dripping in the house. Sure enough, there was water coming out of the kitchen air conditioner vent!! So, I put towels down and a bucket and went back to bed. The rain continued until 5am when the rain started coming in my BEDROOM vent. So, at 5am, I got up and called the contractor and told him to GET OVER HERE and DO something so this didn't turn into a VERY BIG PROBLEM.
I am not known for my diplomacy at 5am; after being so rudely awakened at 3. I was as nice to him as I could be since he didn't do it on purpose but STILL. *sigh* I don't like home improvement projects.
Actually, he was very nice - VERY apologetic. He stayed very calm, seemed very certain this was not a serious problem but is on his way over to fix it and was very reassuring that he would fix anything that was damaged (which I don't think anything was) by the water.
So, that's the start of my day.

A Good Day
Today was a good day. Actually, today was a great day...until I got home. I got almost everything on my to do list done which, if you know me, is an amazing feat. I am an overachiever and I make far too many tasks for any human to accomplish in one day. But I got almost everything done today.
Munchkin had a good day at school and she's spending the night with her Nana because I had a school board meeting tonight and I have Leadership Temple tomorrow - it starts at 7am.
I got home tonight, though, and found a UPS note on my door. They are saying they left it at the back door but it's not there. *sigh* So now we have to try and chase down what happened to it. The package is from Munchkin's dad - it is her birthday present. And now it's gone missing. What a way to end such a great day. Not only do I have to chase down this package tomorrow, I also have to come to terms that I may have a thief in my neighborhood - something I've NEVER had to deal with living here, in Belton. I am SO irritated. I'm hoping it turns up and was just a misunderstanding. Ugh.
Oh, and by the way, we're getting a new roof and there are torn up shingles all over my yard. I hate home improvement projects. What a mess. *sigh*
It's 11pm and I'm beat. I'm going to bed. I'm going to try very hard to shake off the urge to write off this day that has been so overwhelmingly good because of this nasty little turn, right here at the end of the day.
*sigh*

See You in Three Weeks!
Oh man, three weeks since my last post. Any of you that used to read are, I'm sure, all gone. Heck, I'm gone - what are we talking about?
Life has been so busy that it's hard to maintain the blogging. Now that we're back at school, though, I should be able to be a little more present.
Work is nuts. Start of school last week was SO fun! Munchkin started at her new school and she loves it. She even gets to ride a bus! She rides a bus in the afternoons from her school to my mother's school. She spends about an hour and a half in mom's classroom until I get off. That gives her enough time to have a snack and a little downtime where she can lay down. Mom says she almost always sleeps. School is hard work!
Just so you know - EG and I are history. He had a revelation from God that he should be with somebody that shared ministry calling and I don't. I also don't buy in to a lot of the more charismatic practices that EG got such a kick out of. It's better this way. God has given me a tremendous peace about it.
So, I'm working and taking care of Munchkin. Tomorrow is her birthday so expect a really sappy post about Doodlebug tomorrow.
Before I go, I want to share a couple of sunsets with you. It has rained an amazing amount here in Texas and the stormclouds have created some spectacular sunsets. Here are two from just last week. I just happened to have the camera.

Golly I'm tired
Work is killing me. In a good way. Is that possible? *grin* *yawn*
Sorry for the lack of writing. I've come home every night for the past three weeks and crawled into bed. My brain is tired and my hands are tired and my eyes are tired and my ears are tired and ... well ... I'm tired. I'd laugh but I'm too tired.
----
Amazingly enough, I started this last night around 9:15. I was so tired, I got up, walked away and never came back to it. Can you see how tired I am?
Can you develop ADD out of sheer sleepiness?
Work was better today. We were supposed to have a back-to-school celebration but it was cancelled on account of rain. Naturally, it stopped raining this afternoon and has been clear. *grin* Oh well. Better safe than soggy. *giggle*
Oh, to update on the past couple of weeks - the principals are overwhelmingly supportive of the new programs I want to try. YEAH! Monday, I presented the full Public Relations plan to the Board and they were so complimentary! I think I achieved a new District record for "longest-presentation-EVER" but they seemed to really be into it so I didn't worry about it. I did, however, get quite a bit of ribbing from the ED of Administration and the District's Attorney. Bah humbug.
I need an assistant. Think I'll make that my next project. But, for now, I'm home. In jeans and a tshirt and I'm looking around the house saying to myself, "golly, I need to sweep. and do laundry. what's for dinnner?" *sigh* Ok, I'm going.
Have a happy weekend, y'all.
