Blah... blah... blah...
I'm having a hard time constructing a single thought for the moment... I am struggling with my allergies moving from my head down into my lungs... I've had a wicked cough for the last few days and I've found an OTC drug that seems to be helping but now I have a dry cough and tickle... it's almost as if someone's trying to tell me to take a few days off but I can't... I have most of tomorrow free... I think I'm going to pick up a few filing bins so I can get my papers organized and put away... I'd like to find my bedroom floor again... there is also a rather high probability that I won't get much of anything done but I'm willing to live with it...
Today has been almost nice... it was the last day for one of my day care kids and I was so glad to see them go... the little girl was incredibly sweet when I got her nine months ago but back then she was the youngest and was still being babied... now that I have a couple others that are younger and require more attention, she seems to act out more and was going head to head with Jack every other moment... one of the blessings of Chris' passing is that it was a perfect excuse to boot them out of here... I cannot stand those that are disloyal... the mother almost pulled her daughter out without giving me any notice and the only reason she didn't is no one would or could take her daughter... one person she interviewed with is someone who knows me and called to give me a heads up... ever since then I've been waiting for a time when I would be in a position to get rid of them... and the last day has finally come and I'm free of one more headache... I hate to think of any child as being a brat but my goodness... there are some parents who will profess that their child doesn't behave like that at home, but at home the child is getting their way... I am a bit more rigid in having rules and providing boundaries... and I know kids will push to check their limits but after nine months the child should know to not stand up on the stools and to do what is asked the first time, if not the second time... not throw a raging fit that sounds as if someone was murdering her... so yes, I had a happy moment today as the door closed on that pair for the last time and I can now have more peace in my home...
And believe it or not, it's 9:32 p.m. and I'm still working... I'll have the two brothers here for maybe another half hour or so... hopefully not longer than that because I am ready to go to bed... even with knowing that we'll be alright financially, I still can't pass up an opportunity to make a little more money... I'm stockpiling for all of the legal bills that I know are coming and if they prove to be less than I thought then I can start getting the house back in order and finally have windows and doors that don't let all of the weather in... so now I'm going to finish my glass of wine and enjoy this moment of quiet as everyone is laying down and hopefully drifting off to sleep...
