Hmmm

This is getting more and more sporadic. I'll have to do something about that.

It's not that there's nothing to write about, there certainly is. But sometimes, the words just don't come. And sometimes, what's in my head gets complicated and I'm not sure that it's best to put it in writing. Especially out here.

Frankly, there have been some troubling times around here. Everyone has them, I'm sure. And I'm also reasonably sure that this too, shall pass. Part of it is behavioral and attitudinal issues with number one son. And part of it is stuff that's just better left unwritten.

I'm tired. I don't think I've caught up with the time change, although I'm thrilled that it's lighter, later - that's always a shot in the arm and I feel like I have more afternoon and evening energy when that happens.

The sun has been glorious a few days this week, and yet, the snow still comes. When will it end? Enough already.

I've had a hot tub living in my laundry room for several weeks now. I need to hook it back up on the deck, but it's been too darn cold to fiddle with the hoses and connections. But I'm having surgery (minor) next week, and if I don't hook it up in the next few days, it won't get done for a loooong while.

And I can't have that. I have company coming on April 6th for young daughter's first communion. Yay! I'll be very happy to see her godparents, and my brother and sister-in-law, and my wonderful in-laws (really! I've only ever had one set, but these are the best), but I'd really like to have a presentable house when they come and I won't be getting much done myself after the 20th.

Since they've visited, I have a new couch and rug in the living room (haven't painted yet - that won't happen for a while), and some new lighting fixtures. I bought a ceiling fan/light to replace the tacky chandelier in the dining room and I'd like to have that installed before they get here and a new bathroom faucet - I bought both of those in December and they're still not installed. :-(

I wonder if I can paint the bathroom this next week? It's old wallpaper that I've lived with for 14 years. I know the painting isn't a big job, but I've been intimidated by the thought of stripping the wallpaper.

More snow today. beautiful, but enough already.

Time to shower, I'll be late for work.
