It's so much fun to catch up with old friends, I used to spend HOURS on the phone with Ann and it looks as if little has changed in that regard. I had to get off the phone and be a parent this evening but we probably would have chatted for another hour otherwise.

I did a lot of work, filled out my work requirement and shhhhh, Got a facebook page. I know, bad me, but I've hooked up with a friend I haven't seen in 20 years. She'll probably come visit sometime this summer.  I am excited about that. I'm also excited that we finally got a swingset, now we have to set it up but supposedly that'll happen within the week.

Well I got my house cleaned, My children's rooms and bathrooms no longer look like the black lagoon and I was cancelled  from work today...All of this adds up to me feeling much less put upon and depressed than I did yesterday. I now can look around my house and feel comfortable.

I also learned a few more stupid computer tricks for my flylady stuff. I have a control journal of sorts right on my Google personalized page and it doesn't clog up my goodle calender with things I occasionally ignore anyway. This is a good thing. Now if I can just get back in touch with certain friends that have slipped away due to over stuffed lives I'll be good. Or of course I would welcome the return of my muse, but she's pretty capricious and has been hiding lately.  Meh! Everything takes time.

I have no ambition and plenty of work to do today. I have the girls cleaning and sorting their too abundant belongings, I have yet to clean up the kitchen and laundry is in progress. I have a very busy week ahead in which I have La Leche League, three days of work and a dentist appointment, to say noting of the regular fun known as grocery shopping. I'm having motivational issues and the only thing I can say that's good is that I'm trying to get back into the walking habit.

I need some ambition and something to get excited about and I just can't seem to find it.

My sister sent me this bit of silliness, after the hard winter some folks had it should be worth a snort and a giggle.  Welcome to New Hampshire
