Midnight Shenanigans

It's quiet in the house. I can hear the distant noise of the box fan in our room down the hall and a soft ticking of the clock in our family room. I'm working on odd and ends stuff on the computer before I got to bed and decided to listen to a little bit of Iron and Wine.

Realizing I don't have  the amazon app on my computer, I install it. Once its installed I sign in and then ask Alexa to play Iron and Wine, which is a singer song writer easy listening group... Only my Alexa from across the room is listening to me and I am not paying attention to the blue ring on the device as it lights up. Next thing I know, Alexa, who is still turned to high heaven from my weekend cleaning spree shouts: PLAYING MUSIC FROM IRON & WINE! Its so loud it can't hear me yelling at it, and then it begins to play the loudest Iron and Wine song EVER! I can't get away from the bar fast enough and to Alexa that's across my large kitchen! Now Dennis is awake and the dogs are in here looking at me! Midnight is NOT the time for these shenanigans! Now I can't get back into my work mode.

Gearing up for Someday

Man I'm busy. Always something to do, some place to be, or some bill to pay! I'm trying to gather my wits daily, but I feel like as I am dumping them into my basket they are falling out of a hole in the bottom! It's never ending. I am a woman on a mission and all the people that are helping me are on SLOW MOTION! Where is your speed control button?! When I find it.... I'm pushin' it!


'Someday soon' I will be placing orders (as soon as they can be delivered)...

'Someday soon' I will be putting together furniture.

'Someday soon' I will be arranging 5 new classrooms

'Someday soon' I will be separating toys and creating "Well Defined Centers"

'Someday soon' I will be compiling a library

'Someday soon' I will be enrolling and hiring and "firing"


I need things to move along so my' Someday soon' doesn't have to happen all in the same week!

But the yearbook is done! 1 down.....1,283,495 to go

Sweet girl....

My granddaughter Joanie, is learning about family, feelings and pets in Preschool this month.  She drew this picture yesterday and I may never leave the daycare again!!!

When Enough is Enough.....

Ya know... I thought I was handling things okay... Building in July is hot, so rarely is there a full 8 hour day by any crew that shows up. Moving the dirt has stirred up my allergy symptoms somewhat. I expected that. I double up on meds and shower off every day once I get home. We have handled the rain and the mud being tracked in everywhere. Even after the carpets were shampoo'ed. All the equipment that goes into the new building is now in my hallways and every extra spare space I have. I have only asked about 100 times for them to move their cars so the garbage truck could get to the dumpster. I have dealt with the broken water hose they left out in the parking lot that was completely flattened. Blowing my breaker time and time again causing all 4 computers to abruptly shut down while they use our power, not to mention the nice bald spot I have under my door where the extension cord is so they had 'said' power. The building inspectors that still has yet to show up. The building being built completely backwards and having to move walls three times in different directions. The toilets that are in the wrong part of the rooms and 8 windows being built in the wrong place and the 2 that were completely missing. I have even handled the crazy idea of them wanting to put a flume right in the middle of my toddlers playground. And where is the garage door again? But when I heard tale that my ceiling has a community of brown recluse spiders in it, enough is enough already! I have to draw the line. So pest control as been called, bombs will be set up, and all my personal belongings have been moved to a completely different location! Adios Amigos! Enough of this shit!



Spiders 1,
Raven... Out of here!
