1. Mornings, BLECK. 2. I have been battling some anxiety lately, so I decided yesterday to cut back on my caffeine intake to see if that would help. 3. I'm drinking half regular and half unleaded for this week. 4. Next week I'll go to 1/4 regular and 3/4 unleaded and then the 3rd week will be all unleaded. 5. If it doesn't help ease the anxiety, well, then, nothing ventured, nothing gained. I can go back to my regular coffee and know it is not part of the problem. 6. I cannot believe my Redskins beat the Cowboys! WHOOT!! I fell asleep during halftime and checked the scores this morning. A big grin split my face. 7. It sounds like I missed a wild game. I'm sorry I fell asleep. 8. Two more days of 9th grade library orientations. I cannot wait to be DONE. Happy Tuesday, everyone!

1. I love mornings ... sorry Hermi. My Eddy is a morning person as well ... it's a good thing! 2. I hate coffee. Love the smell, hate the taste! BLECK! 3. I do however love Diet Pepsi. No caffeine is a good idea ... Hermi. 4. Sorry about the anxiety. Hopefully just two more days and it will be gone. Poof!! Disappearo!! Crossing my fingers for you hun!! 5. My son's father took me back to court yesterday. But I got an attorney and everything worked out fine. 6. We came to an agreement, he gave/I gave. And Nicholas will benefit all the way around. Hopefully we won't have to go back for a long time. 7. It sure helped having an attorney though. Talk about seeing my son's father intimidated .... LOL! He tries to bully me around and it was good to see him put in his place ... the dog house!!! 8. So back to work today ... yuck! And there is so much to do! We are still dealing with the clean up from our yards affected by Hurricane Katrina. I expect we will be for many months. 9. Happy Tuesday everyone!!

1. I am SO glad that I have a Mac Powerbook...no big problems and viruses, etc. 2. I am wondering "what's up" in Glenn's folder. Did he really find wife #5? Inquiring minds want to know! In any case, I wish my friend all the best in life and love! 3. Yesterday was a putting fires out day all day. Undergrads have a deadline of today for getting into the teacher ed program. Grad students have a deadline to get their proposals in. ARGGGGGGGgggggggg. 4. I am hiding at home for part of the day...just to rest and do some editing! 5. MY READING GLASSES CAME IN!!!! 6. I will go into town to get them....THEN do the editing! 7. I am thinking that the little black and white kitten who hangs out with Ellie and is terribly frightened of people needs a new name. Been calling it "little Kitty"....been thinking of calling it "juju". 8. This little juju kitty looks a little like the cat I had when I was a child. Tuxedo! A little white on the paws and tummy. Cute, but a real fraidy cat. 9. It feels really good to be home. 10. I have to practice today. I'm recording some music for the university play tomorrow and playing on a variety show on Saturday. Both were pretty much last minute deals. Also found out that I am asked to sub for an organist whose mother died. I will do that one with no problem and am glad to help her out. Have a great day, everyone!

1. Either the city bus driver slept in this morning or his bus broke down. Ds came back from the stop to get a ride. 2. Dh finally fixed the snowblower yesterday. We are sure to have a mild winter now!!!!!!

1.2 He can mimic Ray Charles PERFECTLY. Did you know that isn't his real name? I forget what his real name is, but it isn't Jaime Foxx. Remember him on In Living Color? Now he's and oscar winner.

1. I remember Jaime Foxx on In Living Color. Also the Wayan Brothers and Jim Carrey too! That was a great show!! So funny!! And yes! Jaime can sing...I think he's working on a CD?? But not real sure. 2. Hermi, I like your idea about giving the coffee/caffeine a workout. I've been dealing with a bout of depression and I'm going to try to work with the coffee too. Thanks for the idea!! 3. It's a most unusual morning in SoCal right now. It's pouring rain along with thunder and unseen lightening! I love it!! Last night I sat up until 2am watching the lightening in the distance as it lit up the nighttime sky. So pretty!!

1. I gave up caffiene months ago to try to help stop some severe insomnia. Didn't do squat for the insomnia, but I just feel better without all the caffiene! For the first several months I completely stayed away from it and only the last few weeks have I started to have some...a mt dew once a week, lol. 2. Dakota is terrified of thunder and lighting, something I found out very late last night. Caleb doesn't enjoy it much either, though his biggest fear is that this summer storm is a hurricane and we'll have severe flooding. I spent an hour and a half explaining that that wasn't going to happen and we'd be perfectly safe. 3. Both of them are still sound asleep. I'm going to make this a fun when they finally wake up and take them out for lunch and some shopping (Ok they'll hate that part) then board games at home. 4. I'm going shopping for a new carpet cleaner today. I love my bissel green machine, for seven years the thing has been awesome, but my little handle thingy needs to be replaced again. It's fairly simple and cheap to replace but after doing it several times now I'm ready for something new.

One Summer I won second place at a game called Hoppy Taw at a playground in Wash DC. We were too poor to have a swimming pool but every week the kids would wear their bathing suits and the playground staff would put water hoses thru the high windows and win played in that and thought it was wonderful! I didn't realize that we were poor until I was older...LOL

1. I shall try to get this back on track just in case any of the schticklers show up. 2. Pepper, a schtickler is a (cough) very nice person who comes around and politely reminds everybody that they are supposed to do one more numbered fact than the person above them, up to 10 and then start over. 3. We occasionally ignore the schticklers. 4. I think Schoolmarm has a new kitty named Juju. 5. Yay!!! Juju is an excellent name for a kitty.

1. My cybermum is one of those (cough) very nice schticklers..so I think it is in my blood to ignore (like a teenager, lol) 2. I can't get that Kanye West/Jamie Foxx er Eric Bishop Song out of my head 3. I don't mind though....Jamie Foxx's voice sends shivers down my spine 4. My dog is being a complete pest today-getting into everything (no worries all of the Sharpies are well put away today) 5. I am going to visit with my Great-Great Grandmother after dd gets home from school. 6. I am trying to gear myself up for the visit because I know it will be a huge tear fest due to the recent loss of my Uncle

01. I am a major time screwup 02. We bought the van. 03. It used 1/4 tank of gas to get the seller home (about 100 miles away). Coming home used up 3/4 of tank--and we were still miles from a gas station. 04. Fortunately, I rolled to a stop by two semis and the truck drivers let us use their phones; Nevada Highway Patrol informed me that a tow (since tow trucks can't bring gas) would be $150.00. 05. I gulped, but okayed it. When the tow truck arrived, someone stopped yelling at me, but I was still crying. 06. The driver felt so bad, he called his boss, and just charged us $50.00 (thank Goddess!) 07. Of course, when we got home, the first thing I managed to do was to flood the toilet in the hall bathroom. ::sigh::

1. {{{LK}}} sounds like yesterday was a sucky day for you! 2. Well, when we decided to take our time finding a roofer and going through everyone in the phonebook for quotes and questions and all that, Darren and my bil did some patching on the roof just in case. Hey what was the chance of rain? This past year was unusual with the little el nino, normal years we get a day of rain and thats about it. 3. We held up fairly well. Had three places (the kitchen, my bedroom, and the den) with did leak with yesterdays rain. Kitchen and den weren't bad at all...bedroom just poured. Luckily we know what to do so it wasn't that bad, lol. But it did spur Darren into getting back into the great hunt for a roofer. 4. Supposed to have one come out today or tomorrow, he's swamped now. Got a couple calls into a few others as well, as long as one who's already been here for a clarification of his quote. 5. So today I'm cleaning carpets with my new Bissel steam cleaner. Ok, really I was supposed to be getting ready for more roofers traipsing through the house, but the cleaner was sitting there staring at me and the carpet really needed done. 6. I'm absolutely, 100%, head over heels in love! This thing is awesome! My carpet is so bright and clean looking, wow! I keep going in the living room to stare. Of course I haven't got much else done today but the carpet looks fantastic! 7. Then I decide I'm going to clean the couches since the carpet came out so great. One cushion done, it looks terrif as well. Unfortunately, the upholstery attachment is not as easy to use as the whole cleaner and my wrist is now screaming in agony. Looks like cleaning upholstery is gonna have to be Darren's job. 8. Been listening to Queen this morning, getting me in that cleaning mood. Got me to wondering, when did Freddie Mercury die? I know I was pretty young but I can't remember what year it was.

8.2 Thank you Landi! Sure thought it was earlier than that though, guess I wasn't as young as I thought, lol, since I'd have been about 18 at the time!

8.3 War! I have one tooo. We love it, but what I found out was that your carpet stays cleaner longer if you do a second or even a third rinse on it. If you have any traces of soap left in your carpet at all, the dirt will stick to that before anything else and your carpet will look dirty again in no time.
