Ok, so my sissy calls me and says "Now I don't want you to worry, I am ok", and you know what? That is a shitty way to start a conversation. Because immediately you begin to worry and fret no less. Especially because she is far away and you can't do anything for her like make her chicken soup or drive her to her practice because she shouldn't have been riding her bike in the rain in the first place. I should mention here that she is a grown woman and can take care of herself. But, sometimes we all need to be taken care of. It's not a bad thing. And so far in life I have been good at taking care of people, I mean none of the people I care for have died or been maimed at any point in the care giving process. So I think that is a plus.
But Sissy, if you read this one, I do worry just a bit. And even fret sometimes. Take care of you. And go back a few posts and listen to Gumby.

SATISFIED?
I was so excited to find the Gumby song today, it really doesn't take much for me to be satisfied. I don't think that I am a high maintenance girl. I have friends who are, and though I love them, they really are a lot of work.
Another one who is a lot of work is my Hubby. He is never satisfied. It really doesn't matter what it is. If I clean the house, I missed the top of the refridgerator. If I go to the market, I forgot the one thing he wanted. If I do the laundry, fold it and even get it upstairs, I didn't put it away. And lately, he has been so depressed. We have 5 kids and we live paycheck to paycheck and sometimes we don't quite make it on that. So, we have a bit of debt. We are trying to pay it down and off but it is hard to do that and eat. Then he just mopes around and is crabby, it does nothing for me. I wish I could play Gumby for him and he would be happy and satisfied.

CLEAN THE CARPET/WIN THE LOTTERY
Today I had to clean the carpet in one spot because the stupid dog pissed in my house. You know if you have to go i the house dog could you go on the tile? It is so much easier to clean up. Then I decided to clean the stairs because they were there. Well I only got about six of them done because it really is such a heinous job and I was sweating so badly that I just had to stop. But the ones I did do look marvelous. I'll finish the rest tomorrow. I have been selling on e-bay for a little over a year now(half.com and amazon.com too) and I think I am doing something wrong. I guess the things I pick are not what the normal people like. And I never get enough money for them. I want someone to pay me the big bucks for my stuff. I am selling a lot of books lately. I guess people want a good summer read. Well it must be nice to have the time to read for pleasure. The only way that happens at my house is after everyone goes to bed and by then I am so tired that I can hardly keep my eyes open.
I hate American Idol, though I have never seen the show I just hate the whole idea of the,prostitute yourself for people to vote for you because you want to get a recording contract,show. Of course I hate all of the other "reality" shows too, I just think the whole idea of them is repulsive. How desperate have we become as a people. Not just that we participate in these freak shows but that we watch them and that season after season they keep coming back and inventing new and more depraved ways for people to humiliate themselves for money.
I want money too, but I would rather do something fun and personally uplifting to get my money...or, you know just win the damn lottery.
I descend from my soap box.

WELL HERE IT IS
Today is one of those beautiful sunny mornings where anything seems possible. Unfortunately the motivation to actually do anything is just not there. I think my problem is that there are so many things to do that I can't decide what to do first. Should I weed the garden, or try to kill the ants in it? Should I mop the floors, or pay the bills? Should I clean the carpets or clean the bathrooms? It is just too overwhelming to decide and I think I will just have another cup of coffee.
