Where DOES the time go???

That was an unexpected absence from blogging...

Life just filled up and spilled over into all my free time a couple of weeks ago. The most I can do in a short period of time is let you all know what's been going on in synopsis form, and then I can write again about frivolous things.

Let's see...My birthday was last week. (35 and feeling it) I spent the week juggling family and friends and family that don't get along and friends that do, etc. Fun!!

We've been trying to adjust to D's workload from school. This is not the second grade that I remember, let me just say that out loud and for the record!

I started a pottery class, which will help with Christmas/Solstice gifts as I'm finally getting good enough to classify my pieces as 'worthy of gifting' to people other than my mom, who loves just about everything I do. I'm carving into some of the pieces this time as well to personalize them more, which is, of course, much more time consuming.

I've actually begun to work exercise into my weekly regimen. There goes free time for blogging right there. Don't ask which one I'd rather be doing-- I'm trying to trick myself into thinking that exercise is GOOD FOR ME. And NOT BORING. And WORTH THE TIME.

Did I mention that I work full time? Or that I've been waiting about three months now for a raise that, so far, has not made it to my paycheck? Or that I'm highly addicted to the Sims 2 video game on my son's Nintendo DS?

Time management is getting beaten to death in my daily routine. I consider myself lucky that I have clean underwear most mornings, and that there is food in the house. I've also taken the 'I am SO fed up with the clutter around here that I AM going to do something about it, even if it kills me in the process!!!' attitude towards the state of my abode.

What's been going on with you all??? :-)
