This n' That

I've been sitting at this computer for hours when it is a beautiful day today. Why? I don't know why. Perhaps I"m a little sad. Perhaps I'm just being lazy. Perhaps I'm bored. I know, you're saying to yourself, "how can you be bored?" I used to say to my kids when they said they were bored, "UNBORE YOURSELF!!"

There's so much I could do; but it all involves CLEANING and I really don't wanna do that. I do enough of that at work. No, I"m not a cleaning lady, not per se, I have to clean up after the preschoolers in my class. Make sure the tables are sanitized, chairs are wiped, papers are tidy, etc etc, besides interacting, teaching, and guiding the little darlin's. So by the time I get home I"m not exactly enthused about doing it all over again in my own home; til it gets totally disgusting (like four inches of dust and a layer of pet hair so thick on my carpet you can't see the pattern in it anymore).

Only a few weeks til my Jessica goes away to college in Florida. We are driving down there and flying back, leaving her behind in her own apartment she will share with 3 other students. So we'll travel light and just take her essentials----clothes, shampoos and hair doodads galore. I hope we can stuff it all in the trunk of her car; she's got a small one. I am looking forward to seeing my sister Josephine and her new condo. And I'm so wanting to sit by the ocean, sipping a cold drink and watching the sun go down. Feeling the breeze on my face, watching the tides come and go; smelling the salty air and listening to the peaceful sound of the waves splashing at my feet. God I hope there is no hurricane!!!! I have many thoughts on taking her down there, but for now, I'll just keep them in my heart.
