Living the dream...one day at a time

[wishing, hoping]

Okay it's typical. Got it. It's very frustrating to say the least.

Worked three hours after work at the soccer field tonight setting up nets and field prep. When I agreed to these hours I thought it was for cleaning and setting up the concession stand. Not so much. I'm only 5'0" tall. It's hard to put nets on an 8'00" goal. It didn't help that the ladder was too short too. And I hate ladders. I've known too many people that have fallen and shattered their kneecap. My MIL being one of them.

Rewarded myself with some Chinese takeout tonight. I got another bill paid off. Slow and steady wins the race I guess. Plus I struck up a conversation with the guy at work that I am interested in. Had to call him regarding a work situation, and he ended up asking me about my vacation, where we went, what we did, etc. We have crossed the line from complete work conversation into personal conversation. Hey it's a big deal for me. Baby steps.

J was supposed to buy half the back to school materials for the kids. S told me he has not purchased one thing other than clothes. So I called J to tell him the kids' open houses are next week and that he can send D's supplies with her on Sunday and I will drop them off Tuesday and I will send S's supplies with him to drop off Wednesday. I did this not so much as a courtesy to J, but to let him subtlety know he needs to get his butt in gear and buy those supplies. You wanted to experience the "joy of back to school shopping" so get on the stick, Rick. We will see if he really does buy the stuff or drops it in my lap.

I think I have gotten everything washed and put away from the trip. We are already planning on going back over spring break. It's only 8 months away.
