Slacker

I have been informed by Raysha that I am a blogging slacker. Which is totally true. I have also been informed that I am a commenting slacker too. I will have to try to be better about both.

Things are pretty much business as usual around this place. I did get to spend some time with Raysha and Scottie this weekend, and that was awesome. Work is going pretty good. Some days are better than other days, but most all of those days are better than a good day at the old job. I do miss some of my old employees and I miss quite a few of my old customers, but overall I am much happier in my new job.

The girls are doing pretty good. Not liking this school year as much as last school year, but they are doing well academically. Susannah was tested for the gifted program last week and got a 98%. They don't have a gifted program at any of the schools here yet, but hopefully after testing kids and finding that they do really need one, they will have one next year. The high school might have a gifted program in place, but the middle and elementary schools do not yet. Sydney hasn't been tested yet, I don't think, but needs to be as well.

I think that Martin is liking school so far this semester. We were able to arrange his classes so that he only has two days of driving to school. Tuesday makes for a really long day, but Thursday he has only one class. Martin is thinking that this career field is a good fit for him, and then if he decides later that he would like to go back to school, it will provide a pretty good financial state to allow that to happen. It looks like about three more semesters, including this one, until he is done at EAC. Hopefully at that point we will be able to move to a location that we will enjoy much better than this one.

I have not been doing nearly as much crafting as I would like. I am still in my major slump. I am actually having some good ideas, but my problem lies in most of my pictures being uninspiring to me. I see ideas that I want to try, but have no pictures to go with my ideas. I have been very crappy about taking very many pictures in that last few years. Hopefully I can find some inspiration, or at least get some of the digital pictures we HAVE taken printed out and use the inspiration from those. I am really feeling the need to create something.

Today and tomorrow are going to be organizing days, if the weather will allow us too. Our storage unit really needs some reorganization and purging. The house needs quite a bit of work as well, but we are starting with the storage unit this weekend. It also contains our bikes that we would like to get fixed up and use, so that is an important reason for the cleaning we will be doing.

Hopefully a boring blog post, is a good enough blog post for today. I have created a journal jar that I am going to start using for prompts for my blog. I guess that could be boring for some to read, but I am looking forward to getting memories and feelings written down and saved.
