What to tell you???

OK, I'm just as bad a blogger as I am a phone caller, so I'm sure there are lots of things to say. I have just been making my way through life and not sure what needs to be told. So, if you already know something here, just skip over it, OK?

Dean's basketball team finished with only one loss and solidly in first place. That's fun, but now it's over. He isn't joining the golf team after all, because we just couldn't manage the transportation issue. That's a bummer, because he really wanted to golf.

My new bosses are wonderful, and at my three-month review they agreed to adjust my hours. I am now working from 7:15 - 3:45 (officially), so I usually end up getting out of there by 4:00. I can actually get home in time to get dinner going and supervise homework, etc without feeling frantic. I was even able to pick up some kids at school last week and didn't have to rely on someone else to get them home. I am so grateful.

I'm trying to get the summer plans figured out, and that's always a bit difficult, but this year will be especially so. I'm actually starting to look forward to Dean getting his driver's license next year. (Please tell me I didn't just say that!) Calendar rearranging is going to be my biggest project this week.

I've been hating my office at home for a few years now, as it is not very efficient. So I've been trying to work out a new plan for it without spending a bunch of money on new furniture and stuff. I finally got it figured out yesterday, so am excited to just get some time to tear it apart and redo it. When it is done, it will be nice usable space, which will encourage me to keep it organized and discourage other people from just putting miscellaneous stuff in here. It will take a few weeks, I think, but my goal is to get it done before the end of April. That is a nice, long time away and it should be great when done. And the best part is that I need to get just a couple things and it won't cost much. Yahoo! Now if I can get something done with the yard this year, that would be a miracle!

Next Saturday Allen and I will have been married 17 years. There were times I thought that would never happen, and times I thought that our life was forever. Now I know that we just keep loving each other because we choose to, even when it's hard. Sometimes it's simply one day at a time, but here we are, all these years later, and I know some of you are shaking your heads. Amazing, isn't it? I better get taken out to dinner, though!

So, life moves forward, and days go by quicker than I think they should. If you are one of the many people I owe a phone call to, know that you are on my mind. I love you all.
